O God, immortal, eternal, invisible, I remember with gladness and thanksgiving all that Thou hast been to this world of men:
Companion of the brave:
Upholder of the loyal:
Light of the wanderer:
Joy of the pilgrim:
Guide of the pioneer:
Helper of laboring men:
Refuge of the broken-hearted men:
Deliver of the oppressed:
Strength of the victorious:
Ruler of rulers:
Friend of the poor:
Rescuer of the perishing:
Hope of the dying:
Give me faith now to believe that Thou canst be all in all to me, according to my need, if only I renounce all proud self-dependence and put my trust in Thee.
Frobit it, O Father, that the difficulty of living well should ever tempt me to fall into any heedlessness or despair.
Show Thy lovingkindness tonight, O Lord, to all who stand in need of Thy help.
