“Most High God,

The universe with all its myriad creatures
 is Thine, made by Thy word, upheld by
Thy power, governed by Thy will.

But Thou art also the Father of mercies,
 the God of all grace, the bestower of 
all comfort, the protector of the saved. Thou hast been mindful of us, hast visited
us, preserved us, given us a goodly heritage – the Holy Scriptures, the joyful gospel,
the Saviour of souls,

We come to Thee in Jesus’ name,
 make mention of His righteousness only, plead His
obedience and sufferings who magnified the law both in its precepts and penalty,
and made it honourable. May we be justified by His blood, saved by His life, joined
to His Spirit. Let us take up His cross and follow Him. May the agency of Thy grace
prepare us for Thy dispensations.

Make us willing that Thou shouldest
 choose our inheritance and determine what we
shall retain or lose, suffer or enjoy; If blessed with prosperity may we be free
from its snares, and use, not abuse, its advantages; May we patiently and cheerfully
submit to those afflictions which are necessary. When we are tempted to wander, 
hedge up our way, excite in us abhorrence of sin, wean us from the present evil 
world, Assure us that we shall at last enter Immanuel’s land where none is ever 
sick, and the sun will always shine.”
