 Begin the day with God, kneel down to Him in prayer;   

Lift up thy heart to His abode, and seek His love to share. 

Open the book of God and read a portion there,  That it may hallow all thy thoughts and sweeten all thy care. 

Go through the day with God, whatever thy work may be; Wherever thou art—at home, abroad He still is near to thee. Conclude the day with God, thy sin to Him confess, 

Trust in His cleansing blood, and plead His righteousness.  

Lie down at night with God, who gives His servants sleep; And when thou treadest the vail of death, He will thee guard, and keep.
