PERMIT US TO COMMEND THEIR WRETCHEDNESS
TO YOU by Henry Law Throughout the whole earth, many of your
people this night are lying down in misery and pain, their consciences
accuse of sin Their minds are harassed by tormenting and foreboding
thoughts. Personal and relative anxieties
hold their eyes waking. Permit us to commend their wretchedness
to you, their great Creator and Saviour. You have a balm for
every wound. a solace for every anguish, a
remedy for every pain, a deliverance from every impossible situation,
and a peace for all disquietude. Hear our prayer for these, your
people, and grant help you can change their night of darkness
into joyful light. Holy Spirit, reveal Jesus to
them, which will give them unmixed blessedness. We thus implore
you, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.
