A Lenten Prayer

O Great Absolver, grant my soul may wear
the lowliest garb of penitence and prayer,
That in the Father’s courts my glorious dress
May be the garment of Thy righteousness!

Yea, Thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord;
Thine all the merits, mine the great reward-
Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown;
Mine the life won, and Thine the life laid down!

-Samuel J. Stone

Thank You, dear and ever Lord Jesus for the great sacrifice you gave on our behalf. Keep us mindful of your suffering children throughout the world and right before us. Give us Thine eyes to see with; Thine ears to hear with; Thy mouth to speak Thy words of comfort; Thy nail pierced hands to lift up the trodden and Thy will to do good always and everywhere, that we may be counted among the just. Lord of Love, love us now as we have need of Thee! Amen and Amen…
