“May Your glorious Majesty surround me,
the blessed Trinity protect me,
and the eternal Godhead preserve me.

May Your unlimited mercy support me;
Your loving kindness encompass me;
Your favor make me to rejoice.

May the eternal truth of God be my delight,
the saving knowledge of Christ strengthen me,
and the all-prevailing grace of God be sufficient for me.

May the grace of God the Father lead me,
the wisdom of God the Son be my consolation,
and the power of the Holy Spirit enlighten me.

Lord my Creator, stand by me;
my Redeemer, save me;
and my Comforter, dwell with me.

Amen.”

–Johann Habermann, as quoted in Jonathan Gibson, Be Thou My Vision: A Liturgy for Daily Worship (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2021), 42.
