℣. O God, ✠ make speed to save us. ℟. O Lord, make haste to help us. ℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. ℟. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. ℣. Praise ye the Lord. ℟. The Lord's Name be praised.

O God of truth, O Lord of might, Who ord'rest time and change aright, And send'st the early morning ray, And light'st the glow of perfect day. Extinguish thou each sinful fire, And banish every ill desire: And while thou keep'st the body whole, Shed forth thy peace upon the soul. O Father, that we ask be done, Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son; Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee, Doth live and reign eternally. Amen.

Let the glory of praise † resound from the lips of all to the Father, and to the Only-begotten Son: and to the Holy Spirit let like praise be paid for ever.
