Morning Prayer

O Lord God, holy Father,
be you now and forever blessed.
For as you will, so it has been done;
and what you do is good.
Let your servant rejoice in you,
not in myself or any other.
You alone are my hope and my crown.
You are my goodness and my honor.
O Lord, what does your servant have
but what has been received
from you without deserving it?
Yours are all things
that you have been given
and have made. Amen. 

— Thomas à Kempis
