The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

March 25

Be by me, Lord, this day. Thou know'st I mean—

Lord, make me mind thee. I herewith forestall

My own forgetfulness, when I stoop to glean

The corn of earth—which yet thy hand lets fall.

Be for me then against myself. Oh lean

Over me then when I invert my cup;

Take me, if by the hair, and lift me up.
