The Covenant Prayer

I am no longer my own, but Thine. Put me to what thou wilt.
Rank me to whom thou wilt. Put me in doing. Put me in suffering. Let me be employed by Thee or laid aside by Thee.
Let me be full or let me be empty. Let me have all things. Let me have nothing.
I freely and heartily yield all things to they pleasure and disposal.
And now, oh glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, thou art mine and I, Thine.
So be it. And this covenant which I have made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven.

Amen
