A Christian's Daily Prayer

Grant Thou me strength to do 
With ready heart and willing 
Whate'er Thou shalt command, 
My calling here fulfilling; 
To do it when I ought, 
With all my might, and bless 
The work I thus have wrought, 
For Thou must give success. 

If dangers gather round, 
Still keep me calm and fearless; 
Help me to bear the cross 
When life is dark and cheerless; 
To overcome my foe 
With words and actions kind; 
When counsel I would know 
Good counsel let me find. 

(Johann Heermann)
