In
the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, Amen.
We thank Thee, blessed Lord, for the loving care which has
guarded us through the watches of the night, bringing us safely to the light of
another morning. Fill our hearts with gratitude, which we would express
"not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up ourselves to Thy
service." May we appreciate all the blessings of this life — our health,
reason, and love of those who are about us, and above all, may we be grateful
for Thy love. Send Thy blessing upon our dear ones, wherever they may be; keep
them from accident of body, and sin of soul. Be merciful to the sick, the
sorrowing, and the dying, and grant to them the "peace which passeth
understanding." We pray Thee, send benedictions upon Thy church; grant
that Thy Kingdom may be enlarged, and Thy people inspired to earnest duty. And
now we commend ourselves unto Thee; may the angels of God watch over us this
day; keep us in our going out and our coming in; preserve us from all evil;
sanctify us by Thy Spirit dwelling in us, and save us at last for Jesus
Christ's sake. Amen.
Bishop William Andrew Leonard, D.D.,
