GOD-centric Interior Spiritual Disciplines:
To live in a good and fair God of love
On Cheerfulness
~ William Ellery Channing
O God, animate us to cheerfulness.
May we have a joyful sense of our blessings,
learn to look on the bright circumstances of our lot, and maintain a perpetual contentedness.
Preserve us from despondency
and from yielding to dejection.
Teach us that nothing can hurt us if,
with true loyalty of affection,
we keep thy commandments and take refuge in thee.
