lord, receive our supplications for this house, family, and country. protect the innocent, restrain the greedy and the treacherous, lead us out of our tribulation into a quiet land.

look down upon ourselves and upon our absent dear ones. help us and them; prolong our days in peace and honour. give us health, food, bright weather, and light hearts. in what we meditate of evil, frustrate our will; in what of good, further our endeavours. cause injuries to be forgot and benefits to be remembered.

let us lie down without fear and awake and arise with exultation. for his sake, in whose words we now conclude.
