Amen.

O GOD who declarest thy Almighty power chiefly in showing mercy and pity; I beseech thee to have mercy upon me thy unworthy servant, who for my transgressions am appointed to die. Grant that I may take thy judgments patiently, and repent me truly of my sins; that I recovering thy favour, the fearful reward of my actions may end with this life; and whensoever my soul shall depart from the body, it may be without spot presented unto thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Amen.

UNTO God's gracious mercy and protection I commit myself: The Lord bless me, and keep me: The Lord make his face to shine upon me and be gracious unto me: The Lord lift up his countenance upon me, and give me peace both now and evermore.
