Let me begin each morning with hope,

as Thou dost begin each morning with hope for me, even me.

For love, brave love that ventureth,
For love that faileth not, I come;
For love that never wearieth,
Nor findeth burdens burdensome.

I come for hope that springeth green,
And burneth steadfast like a star,
For faith that pierceth through the seen
To things eternal, things that are.

O Love, that lightenest all my ways,
Within, without, below, above---
Flow through the minutes of my days;
The sum of all my life be love.

-Amy Carmichael
