From all calamity by fire and water;
And from everlasting death; Good Lord, deliver us.
By the mystery of Thy holy Incarnation;
By Thy holy Nativity;
By Thy baptism, fasting, and temptation;
By Thine agony and bloody sweat;
By Thy cross and Passion;
By Thy precious death and burial;
by Thy glorious resurrection and ascension;
And by the coming of the Holy Ghost, the Comforter: Help us, good Lord.
In all time of our tribulation;
In all time of our prosperity;
In the hour of death;
And in the day of Judgment: Help us, good Lord.
We poor sinners do beseech Thee To hear us, O Lord God,
And to rule and govern Thy holy Christian Church;
To preserve all pastors and ministers of Thy Church in the true knowledge and understanding of Thy Word and in holiness of life;
To put an end to all schism and causes of offense;
To bring into the way of truth all such as have erred and are deceived;
To beat down Satan under our feet;
To send faithful laborers into Thy harvest;
To accompany Thy Word with Thy Spirit and grace;
To raise up them that fall and to strengthen such as do stand;
And to comfort and help the weak-hearted and the distressed: We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord.
To give all nations peace and concord;
To preserve our country from discord and contention;
To give to our nation perpetual victory over all its enemies;

To strengthen and keep all sick persons and young children;
To set free all who are innocently imprisoned;
To defend and provide for all fatherless children and widows;
And to have mercy upon all men: We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord.
To forgive our enemies, persecutors, and slanderers and to turn their hearts;
To give and preserve to our use the fruits of the earth;
And graciously to hear our prayers: We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord.
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord.
O Lamb of God, that takest away the sin of the world, Have mercy upon us.
