The Dedication

Thanks to Thee, God,

Who brought'st me from yesterday

To the beginning of today.

Everlasting joy

To earn for my soul

With good intent.

And for every gift of peace

Thou bestowest on me,

My thoughts, my words,

My deeds, my desires

I dedicate to Thee.

I supplicate Thee,

I beseech Thee,

To keep me from offence,

And to shield me tonight,

For the sake of Thy wounds

With Thine offering of grace.
