UNIV. OF CALIFORNIA ORGAN VOLUNTARY. OPENING PRAYER. O GOD, be graciously pleased to take us under Thy Fatherly care. Imprint upon our hearts such a grateful sense of Thy goodness to us as may make us ashamed to offend Thee. Dispose us to dedicate our souls and minds and hearts to Thee in a righteous and useful life. Keep us temperate in our desires and ambitions, and diligent in our avocations. Incline us to be just and upright in all our dealings, full of compassion, and ready to do good to all. Make our thoughts, our words, our deeds, testimonies that Thou alone rulest within us, and that the peace and the well-being of our fellow-men lie nearest to our hearts. These things, and whatever else may profit the ends for which we have been placed on earth, we humbly beg of Thee, our God and Father. Amen.
