RULES OF DAILY LIVING

BEGIN THE DAY WITH GOD:

Kneel down to Him in prayer;

Lift up the heart to His abode And seek His love to share.

OPEN THE BOOK OF GOD,

And read a portion there;

That it may hallow all thy thoughts And sweeten all thy care.

GO THROUGH THE DAY WITH GOD,

What’er thy work may be;

Where’re thou art — at home, abroad, He still is near to thee.

CONVERSE IN MIND WITH GOD, Thy sins to Him confess;

Trust in the Lord’s atoning blood, And plead His righteousness.

LIE DOWN AT NIGHT WITH GOD, Who gives His servants sleep;

And when thou tread’st the vale of death,

He will thee guard and keep.
