For Joy in God’s Service
O LORD, renew our spirits and draw our hearts unto Thyself, that our work may not be to us a burden, but a delight; and give us such a mighty love to Thee as may sweeten all our obedience. Oh, let us not serve Thee with the spirit of bondage as slaves, but with cheerfulness and gladness of children, delighting ourselves in Thee, and rejoicing in Thy work for the sake of Jesus Christ. Amen.
