And let the words of our mouths, and the meditation of our hearts, bee acceptable in thy sight, through Jesus Christ our Lord and onely Saviour. Amen.
Or thus, when Brevity is necessary. O Eternal, Almighty, and most gracious God, Heaven is 1thy Throne, and Earth is thy Footstool, holy and reverend is thy Name; Thou art praised by the heavenly Hosts, and in the Congregation of thy Saints on Earth, and wilt be sanctified in all that come nigh unto Thee. We are sinful and unworthy dust, but being invited by Thee, are bold, through our blessed Mediator, to present our selves and our supplications before Thee. Receive us graciously, help us by thy Spirit; let thy Fear be upon us: let thy Word come unto us in power, and be received in love, with attentive, reverent, and obedient minds. Make it to us the savour of life unto life. Cause us to be fervent in Prayer, and joyful in thy Praises, and to serve Thee this day without distraction, that we may find, that a day in thy Courts, is better than a thousand, and that it is good for us to draw near to God; through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
