Running to the cross

Help me to repair to that cross, be crucified to the world by it, and in it find deepest humiliation, motives to patience and self denial, grace for active benevolence, faith to grasp eternal life, hope to lift up my head, love to bind me forever to him who died and rose for me. May his shed blood make me more thankful for thy mercies, more humble under thy correction, more zealous in thy service, more watchful against temptation, more contented in my circumstances, mire useful to others. -Valley of Vision
