O Lord,
We are going to the house of prayer, pour upon us the spirit of grace and supplication;
We are going to the house of praise, awaken in us every grateful and cheerful emotion;
We are going to the house of instruction, give testimony to the Word preached, and glorify it in the hearts of all who hear;
may it enlighten the ignorant, awaken the careless, reclaim the wandering, establish the weak, comfort the feeble-minded, make ready a people for their Lord.
From “The Valley of Vision”
