Morning Prayer
Glory be to Thee, O Lord, glory to Thee, glory to Thee Who gavest me sleep to recruit my weakness, and to remit the labours of this toilful flesh.
To this day and all days a perfect, holy, peaceful, healthful, sinless course vouchsafe, O Lord.
The angel of peace, a faithful guide, guardian of souls and bodies, to encamp round about me, and ever to prompt what is for salvation, vouchsafe, O Lord.
Pardon and remission of all sins and of all offences vouchsafe, O Lord.
To our souls what is good and profitable, and to the world peace, vouchsafe, O Lord.
Repentance and holy fear for the residue of our life, and health and peace to the end, vouchsafe, O Lord.
Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, if there be any praise, such thoughts, such deeds, vouchsafe, O Lord.
A Christian close of life, without sin, without shame, and, should it please Thee, without pain, and a good answer at the dread and awful judgment seat of Jesus Christ our Lord, vouchsafe, O Lord.
Evening Prayer
By night I lift up my hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord.
The Lord hath commanded His lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me and my prayer unto the God of my life.
I will bless Thee while I live, and lift up my hands in Thy name.
Let my prayer be set forth before Thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
Blessed art Thou, O Lord, our God, the God of our fathers, Who hast ordained the changes of day and night, Who givest songs in the night, Who hast delivered us from the evil of this day, Who hast not cut off like a weaver my life, nor from day even to night made an end of me.
