Prayers/John Baillie

A prayer from John Baillie,

You have been the refuge of good and wise people in every generation ...
The patriarchs trusted You and were not put to shame:
The prophets sought You and You committed Your word to their lips:
The psalmists rejoiced in You and You were present in their songs:
The apostles waited upon You and they were filled with Your Holy Spirit:
The martyrs called upon You and You were with them in the midst of the flame:

Forbid it, Holy Lord, that I should fail to profit by these great memories of the ages that are gone by, or to enter into the glorious inheritance which You have prepared for me; through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.
