Desires  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

MAY I speak each day according to Thy justice,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May I speak each day according to Thy wisdom,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each day and night may I be at peace with Thee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each day may I count the causes of Thy mercy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May I each day give heed to Thy laws;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each day may I compose to Thee a song,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May I harp each day Thy praise, O God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May I each day give love to Thee, Jesu,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

May I laud Thy goodness to me, O God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
