F B Pusey (1800-1882)

O God, my God,
I am all weakness,
but Thou art my Strength;
I am ever anew bowed down by any trial,
but Thou canst and willest to lift me up.
Let me not fail, O God, my Strength;
let me not be discouraged, O God, my Hope.
Draw me each day,
if it be but a little nearer unto Thee;
make me, each day,
if it be but a little less unlike Thee;
let me do or bear each day something,
for love of Thee,
whereby I may be fitter for Thee.
Let no day pass without my having done something pleasing unto Thee.
Thus alone would I live,
that I may live more unto Thee;
thus would I die,
longing to love Thee more.
Amen
