Christ our Safe Refuge
Our God is our refuge and strength — a helper in troubles. — Ps. 45:1.
I BLESS Thee, heavenly Father, Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, because Thou has vouchsafed to be mindful of me, poor as I am.
O FATHER of mercies, and God of all consolation, I give thanks to Thee, that sometimes Thou art pleased to cherish with Thy consolation, me who am unworthy of any consolation.
I BLESS and glorify Thee evermore, together with Thy only-begotten Son and the Holy Ghost the Comforter, forever and ever.
O LORD God, my holy lover, when Thou shalt come into my heart, all that is within me shall be filled with joy.
