FAITH AND THE WORLD
O LORD,
The world is artful to entrap,
Approaches and fascinates guise,
Extends many a gilded bait,
presents many a charming face.
Let my faith scan every painted bauble,
and escape every bewitched snare, in a victory that overcomes all things.
In my duties give me firmness, energy, zeal, devotion to thy cause,
courage in thy name, love as a working grace,
and all commensurate with my trust.
Let faith stride forth in giant power,
and love respond with energy in every act.
