| GLORIOUS GOD,
It is the flame of our life to
worship You,
the crown and glory of our soul to adore
You,
heavenly pleasure to approach You.
Give us power by Your Spirit to
help us worship now,
that we may forget the world,
be brought into fullness of life,
be refreshed, comforted, blessed.
Give us knowledge of Your
goodness
that we may not be over-awed by Your greatness;
Give us Jesus, Son of Man, Son of God,
that we may not be terrified,
but be drawn near with filial love,
with holy boldness;
He is our Mediator, Brother, Interpreter,
Branch, Daysman, Lamb;
Him we glorify,
in Him we are set on high.
Crowns to give we have none,
but what You have given we return,
content to feel that everything
is ours when it is Yours,
and the more fully ours when we
have yielded it to You.
Let us live wholly to our Savior,
free from distractions,
from carking care,
from hindrances to our walk in the narrow way.
We are pardoned through the blood of
Jesus -
give us a new sense of it,
that we may live in the reality of it,
that we may always worship You
in spirit and in truth.
