Help me to make use of His work of salvation as
the ground of peace,
and of thy favour to, and acceptance of me
the sinner,
so that I may live always near the cross.

The Saviour
1)
May I enter Him [Jesus] as my refuge,
build on Him as my foundation,
walk in HIm as my way,
follow HIm as my guide,
conform to Him as my example,
receive His instructions as my prophet,
rely on His intercession as my high priest,
obey Him as my king.
2)
May I never make the multitude my model.

God and myself
At the cross may I contemplate the evil of sin,
and abhor it,
look on him who I pierced,
as one slain for me, and by me.

look on him who I pierced,
as one slain for me, and by me.

The Cry of the Convicted Sinner
Save me from myself,
from the artifices and deceits of sin,
from the treachery of my perverse nature,
from denying the charge of my offences,
from a life of continual rebellion against thee,
for I know that all my thoights, affections,
desires, and pursuits are alienated from me.

The Gospel Way
Help me to give up every darling lust
to submit heart and life to its [the Gospel] command,
to have it in my will,
controlling my affections,
moulding my understanding...
