to everlasting life.
Eternal Goodness, make me good like Thee. Eternal Wisdom, make me wise
like Thee. Eternal Justice, make me just like Thee. Eternal Love, make
me loving like Thee.

Amen.

FOR LIGHT.

O Lord! Love who embracest the universe, Light who lightest every man
that comes into the world, take away from me all darkness of soul and
hardness of heart. Fill me with Thy light, that I may see all things in
light. Fill me with Thy love, that I may love all things which Thou hast
made.

Amen.

Come to us, O Lord! open the eyes of our souls, and show us the things
which belong to our peace and the path of life, that we may see that,
though all man's inventions and plans come to an end, yet Thy commandment
is exceedingly broad--broad enough for rich and poor, for scholar,
tradesman, and labourer, for our prosperity in this life and our
salvation in the life to come.

Amen.

FOR TRUE GLORY.

O God, quench in us all which is selfish, idle, mean, and quicken to life
in us all which is God-like and for God, that so we may attain at last to
the true glory, the glory which comes, not from selfish ambition, not
from selfish pride, not from selfish ease, but from getting rid of
selfishness in all its shapes--the glory which Christ alone has in
perfection--the glory before which every knee will one day bow whether in
earth or heaven--even the glory of doing our duty, regardless of what it
costs us, in the station to which each of us has been called by his
Father in Heaven.

Amen.

FOR HOLINESS.

O Lord Jesus Christ! Exalt me with Thee so to know the mystery of life,
that I may use the earthly as the appointed expression and type of the
heavenly; and by using to Thy glory the natural body, I may be fit to be
exalted to the use of the spiritual body.

Amen.

FOR PURITY AND GOODNESS.

Purge Thou me, O Lord, or I shall never be pure; wash Thou me, and then
alone shall I be clean. For Thou requirest not frames or feelings, not
pride and self-conceit, but truth in the inward parts; and wilt make me
to understand wisdom secretly.

O God, Thou art good, and I am bad; and for that very reason I come. I
come to be made good. I adore Thy goodness, and I long to copy it: but I
cannot unless Thou helpest me. Purge me. Make me clean. Cleanse me
from my secret faults, and give me truth in the inward parts. Do what
Thou wilt with me. Train me as Thou wilt. Punish me if it be neces
