Grant us, O God, the faith that in Thy strength we can yet succeed even
in the place where we have failed. Teach us that it is Thy whisper we
hear, when we have fallen into Despond, bidding us rise and try again.
And grant us the courage to be sure, since Thou hast a tryst to meet and
help us there, that even our Achor shall open to us its door of hope.
Amen.
"_There be many servants_
_now-a-days that break away_
_every man from his master._"
