O Thou came from above

O thou who camest from above
the fire celestial to impart,
kindle a flame of sacred love
on the mean altar of my heart.

There let it for thy glory burn
with inextinguishable blaze,
and trembling to its source return
in humble prayer and fervent praise.

Jesus, confirm my heart's desire
to work and speak and think for thee;
still let me guard the holy fire
and still stir up the gift in me.

Still let me prove thy perfect will,
my acts of faith and love repeat,
till death thy endless mercies seal,
and make the sacrifice complete.

Count your Blessings

Count your blessings

                    instead of your crosses;

Count your gains

                    instead of your losses;

Count your joys

                    instead of your woes;

Count your friends

                    instead of your foes;

Count your smiles

                    instead of your tears;

Count your courage

                    instead of your fears;

Count your full years

                    instead of your lean;

Count your kind deeds

                    instead of your mean;

Count your health

                    instead of your wealth;

Count on God

                    instead of yourself!
