Prayer for today (10/30/15)

My beautiful Jesus, these are words of love, hope and faith, written and composed by Joseph Swain in 1791 and Freeman Lewis in 1813. "O Thou in whose presence my soul takes delight, on whom in affliction I call, my comfort by day, and my song in the night, my hope, my salvation, my all." Dear Jesus, what a blessing you are, day by day, watching over us. We thank you for forgiving our sins and replacing them with joy untold. Holy is your name. Amen.
