Lord, prosper my affairs this day;
Take care of all I have at risk;
Give me the means to pay my way,
And, if thou wilt, make business brisk.
Help me in all my dealings, Lord,
Whate'er befall; Thou knowest well
Without Thee I could ill afford
To buy or borrow, lend or sell.
Oh! make me humble in success;
In failure make me strong to bear;
Lead me in the ways of righteousness;
To friend and rival make me fair.
Uphold me in the common strife;
Give me the grace to work and plan;
And, in the market-place of Life;
Oh! keep me, Lord, an honest man.
