“Re-impress Thy image upon my soul;

Raise me above the smiles and frowns of the world,

regarding it as a light thing to be judged by men;

May Thy approbation be my only aim,

Thy Word my only rule.

Make me abhor that which grieves the Holy Spirit,

to suspect consolations of a worldly nature,

to shun a careless way of life,

to reprove evil,

to be gentle and patient towards all men,

to be an example of the gospel, displaying in every relation, office, and condition its excellency, loveliness, and advantages.”
