Robert Hawker: Piercing Heaven – Puritan’s Prayers

Precious Lord, may I never watch a show of earthly pageantry without thinking of your glory. While I watch the show, however entertaining, help me remember it is only for today. Let me quickly remember your glory, which your redeemed will enjoy for all eternity!

Precious Jesus, you are lovely in yourself, lovely in your cross, lovely in your crown, lovely in all your gracious acts, victories, triumphs, grace, and mercy.

Everything in you is lovely; and you display that loveliness to all your people. You have chosen our inheritance for us. You reign and rule over us, and in us.

You are the Lord our righteousness.

Amen.
