A Prayer Treasury is a classic collection of best-known prayers from around the world and across the centuries — including prayers by famous and little-known Christians and from all the major traditions.
Here are words for private prayer and for public occasions, for all the major seasonal celebrations and special family events. There is also a selection of the best-loved prayers for children, together with graces and blessings.
Dappled things
Glory be to God for dappled things -
for skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
for rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;
landscape plotted and pierced-fold, fallow, and plough
and all trades, their gear and tackle and trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
with swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
he fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
praise him.
Gerard Manley Hopkins, nineteenth century
Acceptance and change
God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
courage to change the things that should be changed,
and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.
Reinhold Niebuhr, twentieth century
The bundle of life
O God, you have bound us together in this bundle of life; give us grace to understand how our lives depend on the courage, the industry, the honesty and integrity of our fellow men; that we may be mindful of their needs, grateful for their faithfulness, and faithful in our responsibilities to them; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Reinhold Niebuhr, twentieth century
