The Consecration of the Sabbath
O LORD, our heavenly Father, at the beginning of another week we come to Thee for help and light. Grant, we beseech Thee, that we may hallow this day of rest to Thy service, and find in Thee all peace and strength. Quicken our devotion that we may serve Thee in spirit and in truth, and lay a good foundation for our coming work. Be with us in all the public services of Thy day, that we may join in them with heart and soul, and receive the blessing which Thou hast promised to all who sincerely pray to Thee and faithfully hear Thy word. This we ask for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
