A Renewed Dedication

A Renewed Dedication

O GOD, Who leadest us through seasons of life to be partakers of Thine eternity, the shadows of our evening hasten on. Quicken us betimes, and spare us that sad word, “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” Anew we dedicate ourselves to Thee. We would ask nothing, reserve nothing for ourselves, save only leave to go whither Thou mayest guide, to live not far from Thee, to die into Thy nearer light. Content to accept the reproach of truth, we would take upon us the yoke of Christ, Whom it behoved to suffer ere He entered into His glory. We ask it in the Name and for the sake of the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
