Hold me and never let me go!

(A Puritan Prayer)

O God of love,
Preserve . . .
  my understanding from error,
  my affections from love of idols,
  my lips from speaking deceit,
  my conduct from stain of vice,
  my character from appearance of evil;
that I may be
  harmless,
  blameless,
  rebukeless,
  exemplary,
  useful,
  light-giving,
  prudent,
  zealous for Your glory and the good
    of my fellow-men.

Cast Your cords of love around my heart,
then hold me and never let me go!
