Lord, I pray that my Faith, through Your Grace,

may reach completion before You take me unto YourSelf:

and please bring that soul to an Enlarged Place,

so that it does not languish like rancid jars on a shelf.

Grant, Lord, that my joy in the Gospel shall never dumb

down; nor interloper shall skulk into my room

to surreptitously steal away or spoil

the quality of my sometimes flickering lamp's oil:

that I may go out to greet You, the Bridegroom,

when---early or late (by local time) You come.

Starwardist
