O Saviour of the world, who by thy Cross and precious Blood hast
redeemed us; Save us, and help us, we humbly beseech thee, O Lord.
_Amen._
On Entering Church
O Lord, I am in thy holy House. Help me to keep my thoughts on thee,
that I may hear thee speaking in my heart, through Jesus Christ.
_Amen._
At Early Eucharist
As watchmen look for the morning, so do we look for thee, O Christ.
Come with the dawning day, and make thyself known to us in the
breaking of Bread, for thou art our God for ever and ever. _Amen._
Before Holy Communion
Incline our hearts, O God, that by the grace of thy Holy Spirit we
may worthily approach these sacred mysteries and offer ourselves to
thee in answering love, through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen._
After Church Service
Sanctify, O Lord, both our coming in and our going forth; and grant
that when we leave thy house we may not leave thy Presence, but be
thou ever near unto us and keep us near unto thee, through Jesus
Christ our Lord. _Amen._
An Act of Adoration
Worthy art thou, O God, to receive the honour and the power; for
thou didst create all things, and because of thy will they are and
were created.
_Glory be to thee, O God._
Glory to thee, O Christ, who didst redeem with thy love men of every
kindred and tongue and people and nation.
_Glory be to thee, O Christ._
Glory to thee, O Holy Spirit, for thy work in the Church, which will
not cease until thou hast made of all mankind one family, to the
praise and glory of God.
_Glory be to thee, O Holy Spirit._
For God’s Help
Grant us, O Lord, in all our duties thy help, in all our
perplexities thy counsel, in all our dangers thy protection, and in
all our sorrows thy peace; for the sake of Jesus Christ our Saviour.
_Amen._
Grant to us, Lord, we beseech thee, the spirit to think and do
always such things as are right; that we, who cannot do any thing
that is good without thee, may by thee be enabled to live according
to thy will; through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen._
For God’s Protection
O Almighty and most merciful God, of thy bountiful goodness keep us,
we beseech thee, from all things that may hurt us; that we, being
ready both in body and soul, may cheerfully accomplish those things
which thou commandest; through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen._
We beseech thee, Almighty God, look upon the hearty desires of thy
humble servants, and stretch forth the right hand of thy Majesty, to
be our defence against all our enemies; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. _Amen._
For Aid against Perils
Lighten our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great
mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the
love of thy only Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ. _Amen._
