advent prayer
October 30th, 2006
Keep us, O Lord, while we tarry on this earth,
in a serious seeking after Thee, and in an affectionate walking with Thee,
everyday of our lives;
that when Thou comest, we may be found not hiding our talent,
not serving the flesh, nor yet asleep with our lamp unfurnished,
but waiting and longing for our Lord, our glorious King,
for ever and ever.
Richard Baxter, 1615-91
