Morning Prayer

Holy God, Kind GodYou give me another day

I thank You for this gift of lifeI come to You

and my life is but a journey towards You

I offer Youmy every thought and deed

all my conversation and silenceall my work and strugglesall that makes me happy

and all that are difficult for me

show me what is right and what is evilso that I may not err

I will gladly do what You commandI will bear happily what You lay upon

my shoulderI will work willingly

Enlighten me with Your lightstrengthen me with Your power

keep me in Your joy

Now o, GodI go from Your light

Your joyful pours into my day’s work

let my life be a lightAmen

Thought of the dayMusic is a moral law. It gives soul to

the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to

everything.
