O Lamb eternal, beyond all place and time! O Lamb of God, slain
eternally before the foundation of the world! O Lamb that liest slain
eternally in the midst of the throne of God! Let the blood of life,
which flows from Thee, procure me pardon for the past; let the water of
life, which flows from Thee, give me strength for the future. I come to
cast away my own life, my life of self and selfishness, which is corrupt
according to the deceitful lusts, that I may live it no more, and to
receive Thy life, which is created after the likeness of God, in
righteousness and true holiness, that I may live it for ever and ever,
and find it a well of life springing up in me to everlasting life.
Eternal Goodness, make me good like Thee. Eternal Wisdom, make me wise
like Thee. Eternal Justice, make me just like Thee. Eternal Love, make
me loving like Thee.
Amen.
