O Lord our heavenly Father almighty
and everlasting God
[*], who has safely brought
us to the beginning of this day; In and
through the merits of our blessed Saviour
through whom we are taught to ask all
things,–We thy unworthy Servants prostrate
ourselves before thee & humbly ask thee
forgiveness of our sins and Transgressions
We most devoutly thank thee for our
preservation & are truly conscious that
only through thy Divine Mercy we have
been saved – We supplicate thy Glorious
Majesty to accept our unfeigned Prayers &
Thanksgivings for thy gracious Protection.
Thou hast shewed us wonders on the
Deep, that we might see how powerfull
& gracious a God thou art; how able &
ready to help those who trust in thee.–
Thou hast given us strength & fed us
& hast shewn how both Winds & Seas
obey thy command, that we may learn

and reads, "Receive us this Night into thy almighty
protection." ]
