14. O satisfy us with thy mercy. He who
has but the heart to pray need never be without pleas in prayer. The only
satisfying food for the Lord’s people is the favor of God. Our day is short,
and the night hastens on. O give us in the early morning of our days to be
satisfied with thy favor, that all through our little day we may be happy. That we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Being filled with divine love,
their brief life on earth would become a joyful festival, and would continue so
as long as it lasted. When the Lord refreshes us with his presence, our joy is
such that no one can take it from us. Apprehensions of speedy death are not
able to distress those who enjoy the present favor of God; though they know
that the night is coming they see nothing to fear in it.
