We praise thee, we bless thee, we glorify thee, we give thanks unto thee for this greatest of thy mercies, O Lord God, heavenly king, God the Father almighty.
O Lord, the only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ. O lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, who wast made man to take away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us by turning us from our iniquities. Thou, who was made manifest to destroy the works of the devil, have mercy upon us by enabling us to renounce and forsake them. Thou who art the great advocate with the Father, receive our prayer we humbly beseech thee.
Thomas Ken, 1637-1711
