O God, we praise Thee for keeping us till this day, and for the full assurance that Thou wilt never let us go.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
And I pray thee, loving Jesus, that as Thou hast graciously given me to drink in with delight the words of Thy knowledge, so Thou wouldst mercifully grant me to attain one day to Thee, the fountain of all wisdom and to appear forever before Thy face.
Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.
And thou wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest every act of thy life as if it were the last.
Mysterious love, uncertain treasure, hast thou more of pain or pleasure! Endless torments dwell about thee: Yet who would live, and live without thee!
Thou art my single day, God lends to leaven What were all earth else, with a feel of heaven.
Living Life Tomorrow's fate, though thou be wise, Thou canst not tell nor yet surmise; Pass, therefore, not today in vain, For it will never come again.
It behoves thee to love God wisely; and that may thou not do but if thou be wise.
O human beauty, what a dream art thou, that we should cast our life and hopes away on thee!
Hope thou not much, and fear thou not at all.
Wit thou well that I will not live long after thy days.
