From the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same the Name of the Lord shall be great among the heathen, It is truly right and our most solemn duty, that we should at all times and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty Everlasting God. Therefore with angels and with all the company of heaven, we exalt and magnify Thy glorious name, ever more praising Thee and singing: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord! God of power and might, Heaven and earth are full of Your glory, Hosanna! Hosanna! In the highest! O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; let the whole earth stand in awe of him. For He cometh, for He cometh to judge the earth and with righteousness to judge the world and the peoples with His truth. Blessed are You, O LORD; instruct us Your in your statutes. O LORD, watch over us and save us from this generation for ever. The wicked prowl on every side, and that which is worthless is highly prized by everyone. Behold, darkness covers the land; deep gloom enshrouds the peoples. But over us, His beloved, the Lord will rise, and His glory will appear upon His children Nations will stream to our light, and kings to the brightness of our dawning. For the Lord is our everlasting light, and our God will be our glory. O heavenly Father, in Whom we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray Thee so to guide and govern us by thy Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget Thee, but may remember that we are ever walking in Thy sight; that in our manifold vocations and ministries we may truly and godly serve Thee and that we show forth Thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up our selves to Thy service, and by walking before Thee in holiness and righteousness all our days. As You live Your life through us, may Your people give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and guide the feet of Your children from every tribe, tongue people and nation who do not yet know You into the way of peace. All this we ask through Your Son Jesus Christ, By Him and with Him and in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honor and glory is Yours, Almighty Father, now and forever. Amen
