Father of Jesus,

Dawn returns, but without thy light within

no outward light can profit;

Give me the saving lamp of thy Spirit that I may

see thee,

the God of my salvation, the delight of my soul,

rejoicing over me in love.

I commend my heart to thy watchful care,

for I know its treachery and power;

Guard its every portal from the wily enemy,

Give me quick discernment of his deadly arts,

Help me to recognize his bold disguise as an

angel of light,

and bid him begone.

May my words and works allure others to the

highest walks of faith and love!

May loiterers be quickened to greater diligence

by my example!

May worldlings be won to delight in acquaintance

with thee!

May the timid and irresolute be warned

of coming doom by my zeal for Jesus!

Cause me to be a mirror of thy grace,

to show others the joy of thy service,

May my lips be well-tuned cymbals

sounding thy praise,

Let a halo of heavenly-mindedness

sparkle around me

and a lamp of kindness sunbeam my path.

Teach me the happy art of

attending to things temporal

with a mind intent on things eternal.

Send me forth to have compassion

on the ignorant and miserable.

Help me to walk as Jesus walked,

my only Saviour and perfect model,

his mind my inward guest,

his meekness my covering garb.

Let my happy place be amongst the poor in spirit,

my delight the gentle ranks of the meek.

Let me always esteem others better than myself,

and find in true humility

an heirdom to two worlds.

耶稣的父啊：

黎明到来，但心中的光还未启明

我无法从外来的光得到益处

请给我你的救赎之光，好让我能看见你

我的救恩的神，我灵魂的喜悦，在爱中欢喜

我把我的心托付给你细心的照料，

因为我知道它的善变和力量，

请保守每一个门户，远离狡猾的敌人，

使我敏锐地分辨它致死的伎俩

帮助我认识他放肆的伪装，打扮成光明的天使

好命令他离开

愿我的话和我的行为能吸引人到信心和爱的最高处

愿闲散的人被激励，能因我的榜样更加的勤奋

好赢得世人，在喜悦中认识你

愿胆小的人和忧柔寡断的人被我对耶稣的热情所警告，知道那将来的厄运

使我成为你恩典的镜子，让别人看见我对你的事奉中的喜乐

愿我的嘴唇像调好音的钹，发出对你的赞美之声

让属天的心思之光在我的身旁闪耀

让恩慈的灯照亮我的道路

教导我快乐的艺术

用思念永恒之事的心来照料尘世之事

赐给我对无知和在悲惨中的人有同情心

帮助我能行走像耶稣

我唯一的救主和完美的榜样，

他的心是我内心的客人，

祂的柔顺是遮蔽我的外袍

在心灵穷乏的人当中，让我感到喜乐

在柔顺的人当中能找到喜悦

让我总是看别人比自己强，

找到真正的谦卑，

能承载两个世界
