O that it may be as natural to me to pray
to thee as it is to breathe.
Thou who fillest the hungry be pleased
to pour into me Life & strength & vigor
inspiring me with a sense of my constant
dependance upon thee for all I
enjoy in this World or can hope for
in the world to come.
O thou who didst at first command
Light to spring out of darkness strike
light into my Soul that May afford me
some adiquate conceptions of thy Divine
Character & the deformity of my own
