 that I  may  be  united  with  you  in  loving, praising, and  enjoying  God  for  all  eternity.

ord   Jesus,    may  I know  myself  and  know Thee,

And desire  nothing  save  only Thee.

May I  hate  myself  and  love Thee.

May I  do  everything  for  the sake of  Thee.

May I  humble  myself  and exalt Thee.

May I  think  of  nothing  except Thee.

May I  die  to  myself  and  live in Thee.

May I  receive  whatever  happens as  from  Thee.

May I  banish  self  and  follow Thee.

And ever  desire  to  follow Thee.

May I  fly  from  myself  and fly to  Thee,

That I  may  deserve  to  be  defended by  Thee.

May I  fear  for  myself  and fear Thee,

And be  among  those  who  are chosen by  Thee.

May I  distrust  myself  and trust in  Thee.

May I  be  willing  to  obey  on account  of  Thee.
