________________
Creator of all joy and beauty, we thank Thee this morning for Thy bright world, for the sunshine on the hills, for the mists on the rivers, for bird and beast, mountain, plain and forest, all giving glory to Thee in the radiance of the new dawn. We thank Thee that we may look, as Thou lookest, upon all the beauty of the earth. O Master, lover of beauty and joy, make our hearts simple and trustful, make our wills lowly and pure, that we may share in Thy will, whereby is created and upheld all the joy and the beauty of this, Thy great universe.
J. S. Hoyland
** The day returns and brings us back to our round of
duties. Help us to play the man, help us to perform our tasks with laughter and kind faces. Let cheerfulness abound with industry. Help us to go blithely on our business all this day. Bring us to our resting beds weary and content and undishonoured, and grant us in the end the gift of sleep.
