Creator of the ends of the earth, Governor of the universe, Judge of all men, Head of the church, Saviour of sinners;
Your greatness is unsearchable, Your goodness infinite, Your compassions unfailing, Your providence boundless, Your mercies ever new. We bless You for the words of salvation.
How important, suitable, encouraging are the doctrines, promises, and invitations of the gospel of peace!
We are lost: but in it You have presented to us a full, free and eternal salvation; weak: but here we learn that help is found in One that is mighty, poor: but in Him we discover unsearchable riches, blind: but we find He has treasures of wisdom and knowledge. We thank You for Your unspeakable gift.
Your Son is our only refuge, foundation, hope, confidence; we depend upon His death, rest in His righteousness, desire to bear His image; May His glory fill our minds, His love reign in our affections, His cross inflame us with ardor.
Let us as Christians fill our various situations in life, escape the snares to which they expose us, discharge the duties that arise from our circumstances, enjoy with moderation their advantages, improve with diligence their usefulness, And may every place and company we are in be benefited by us. Amen.
