“O God the Father of mercy, so slow to anger with children so swift to sin— deal not with us according to our deserts, but open up to us the arms of Your compassion, that what we have lost by our offenses we may recover by Your mercies and walk from now on in your way; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
–Bede the Venerable, as quoted in Jonathan Gibson, Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing: A Liturgy for Daily Worship with the Psalms (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2026), 34.
