| We renounce all dependence |
May we seek in every providence |
| May all our duties be gladdened |
We rejoice to believe |
| Sanctify affliction to all in sorrow |
We come, acknowledging |
| Enable us to repose |
May we walk in the light |
| The Lord reigns |
We desire anew this night |
| Every blessing |
Through another night |
| Preserve us |
Never for a solitary moment |
| God of all consolation |
O Lord our God |
| Most Blessed God |
It is our desire |
| Make us like Jesus |

| All that we are |
Enable us to feel our sins' |
| Lord, subdue within us |
We commend all belonging |
| Let us live as the expectants |
Lord, we mourn over our dullness |
| O God, we come into Your blessed presence |
We take refuge anew at the foot of Your cross |
| May all worldly thoughts |
Fill us with a deep and humbling sense |
| We approach You |
Almighty God, we desire |
| All our hope is in Jesus |

We desire anew to bless and praise You' |
| May even trials and crosses become easy to us |
We often confess with the lip |
| Known unto You |
It is in the name, and trusting in the merits |
| May our weakness drive us |
We pray for all in sorrow |
| Give us grace to look away |
O Lord, we desire to approach the footstool |
| We come unto You this morning |
During the past day |
| We have nothing of our own |
We desire to take Jesus as our pattern |
| Sanctify sorrow to the sons and daughters of affliction |
How unworthy are we to come to Your footstool |
| Your thoughts are not as man's thoughts |
Keep us from pride |
| Our wishes, our desires |
May we be melted |
| May sin be more dreaded, |
Lord, break the world's alluring spell |
| O Eternal, Everlasting God |
