Litany

GLORY be to Thee, O Lord, glory to Thee. Glory to Thee who givest me sleep to recruit my weakness, and to remit the toils of this fretful flesh. To this day and all days, a perfect, holy, peaceful, healthy, sinless course,

Vouchsafe O Lord.

The Angel of peace, a faithful guide, guardian of souls and bodies, to encamp around me, and ever to prompt what is salutary,

Vouchsafe O Lord.

Pardon and remission of all sins and of all offences

Vouchsafe O Lord.

To our souls what is good and convenient, and peace to the world,

Vouchsafe O Lord.

Repentance and strictness for the residue of our life, and health and peace to the end,

Vouchsafe O Lord.

Whatever is true, whatever is honest, whatever just, whatever pure, whatever lovely, whatever of good report, if there be any virtue, if any praise, such thoughts, such deeds,

Vouchsafe O Lord.

A Christian close, without sin, without shame, and, should it please Thee, without pain, and a good answer at the dreadful and fearful judgment‑seat of Jesus Christ our Lord,.

Vouchsafe O Lord.
