Sanctify us in our households. May we go in and out before Thee showing the name and nature of Christ. Help us in our business, that in all we do among our fellow men we may act as Christ would have us act. Strengthen us in secret; there may we be mighty in prayer. Guard us in public, that neither in act nor word we may slip away from Thee.Above all, cast cords of love around our hearts. Oh, hold us, Saviour, never let us go! Suffer no professed Christian here ever to violate the loyalty of his obedience to his King. May those dear wounds of His have more sawy over us than ever silver sceptre had over the subjects of earthly princes. May we feel that if He drank for us the vinegar and gall, whatever cup He sets before us we will cheerfully drink. Rule us, Saviour, rule us, we beseech Thee. And let no believer here violate the chastity of his heart to the Beloved of his soul.
