Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)

Give us grace, O Lord,
to work while it is day,
fulfilling diligently and patiently whatever duty Thou appointest us;
doing small things in the day of small things,
and great labours if Thou summon us to any:
rising and working,
sitting still and suffering,
according to Thy word.
Go with me,
and I will go;
but if Thou go not with me,
send me not:
go before me,
if Thou put me forth;
let me hear Thy voice when I follow.
Amen
