A Prayer by John Ellerton, Revised

This is my day of rest:
My failing strength renew;
On weary brain and troubled breast
Pour out your freshening dew.

This is a day of peace:
With peace my spirit fill;
Command the blasts of discord cease,
The waves of strife be still.

This is the day of prayer:
Let earth to heaven draw near;
Lift up my heart to seek you there,
Come down to meet me here.

Amen.
