Almighty and everlasting God, who art worthy to be had in reverence by all
the children of men, we give Thee most humble and hearty thanks for the

innumerable blessings, both temporal and spiritual, which, without any
merit or worthiness on our part, Thou hast bestowed upon us.
We praise Thee especially that Thou hast preserved unto us in their
purity Thy saving Word and the sacred ordinances of Thy house. And we
beseech Thee, O Lord, to preserve and extend Thy Kingdom of Grace and
to grant unto Thy holy Church throughout the world purity of doctrine and
faithful pastors, who shall preach Thy Word with power; and help all who
hear rightly to understand and truly to believe it. Send forth laborers into
Thy harvest, and open the door of faith unto all the heathen and unto the
people of Israel. In mercy remember the enemies of Thy Church, and grant
unto them repentance unto life. Be Thou the Protector and Defender of Thy
people in all time of tribulation and danger; and may we, in communion
with Thy Church and in brotherly unity with all our fellow Christians, fight
the good fight of faith and in the end receive the salvation of our souls.
Bestow Thy grace upon all the nations of the earth. Especially do we
entreat Thee to bless our land and all its inhabitants and all who are in
authority. Cause Thy glory to dwell among us and let mercy and truth,
righteousness and peace, everywhere prevail. To this end we commend to
Thy care all our schools and pray Thee to make them nurseries of useful
knowledge and Christian virtues, that they may bring forth the wholesome
fruits of life.
Graciously defend us from all calamities by fire and water, from war and
pestilence, from scarcity and famine. Protect and prosper everyone in his
appropriate calling, and cause all useful arts to flourish among us. Be Thou
the God and Father of the widow and the fatherless children, the Helper of
the sick and the needy, and the Comforter of the forsaken and distressed.
Accept, we beseech Thee, our bodies and souls, our hearts and minds,
our talents and powers, together with the offerings we bring before Thee,
which is our reasonable service.
Here special Supplications, Intercessions, and Prayers may be made
And as we are strangers and pilgrims on earth, help us by true faith and a
godly life to prepare for the world to come; doing the work Thou hast given
us to do while it is day; before the night cometh when no man can work.
And when our last hour shall come, support us by Thy power and receive us

into Thine everlasting kingdom; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord,
who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost forever and ever.
Then shall be said by all
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; Give us this day our daily
bread; And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass
against us; And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil; For
Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

may embrace, and ever hold fast, the blessed hope of everlasting life, which
Thou hast given us in our Savior Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with
Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.

and the wisdom which cometh down from above, that Thy Word, as
becometh it, may not be bound, but have free course and be preached to the
joy and edifying of Christ's holy people, that in steadfast faith we may
