Oh Savior, make us like yourself; we wish not so much to do, as to be. If you will make us to be right, we shall do right. We have often put a constraint upon ourselves to be right; but oh, that we were like you, Jesus, so that we had but to act out ourselves to act out perfect holiness.
We shall never rest until this is the case, until you have made us to be inwardly holy; and then words and actions must be holy as a matter of course. Now, here we are, Lord, and we belong to you.
Amen.
