KING OF GLORY, DIVINE MAJESTY, 

Every perfection adorns Your nature and sustains Your throne; 

The heavens and earth are Yours, 

The world is Yours and its fullness. 

Your power created the universe from nothing; 

Your wisdom has managed all its multiple concerns, 

presiding over nations, families, individuals. 

Your goodness is boundless; 

all creatures wait on You 

are supplied by You, 

are satisfied in You. 

How precious are the thoughts of Your mercy and grace!

How excellent Your lovingkindness that draws men to You! 

Teach us to place our happiness in You, the blessed God, 

never seeking life among the dead things of earth, 

or asking for that which satisfies those deceived in themselves; 

But may we prize the light of Your smile, 

implore the joy of Your salvation, 

find our heaven in You. 

You have attended to our happiness more than we could ever; 

Though we are fallen creatures You have not neglected us. 

In love and pity You have provided us a Savior; 

Apply his redemption to our hearts, 

by justifying our persons, 

and sanctifying our natures. 

We confess our transgressions, have mercy on us. 

We are weary, give us rest, 

We are ignorant, make us wise unto salvation, 

We are helpless, let Your strength be made perfect in our weakness, 

We are poor and needy, bless us with Christ’s unsearchable riches, 

We are perplexed and tempted, let us travel on unchecked,  

undismayed, 

knowing that You have said, 

‘I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.’ 

Blessed be Your name! – Amen
