Lord, I thank you that you have brought me to the beginning of this day,
defend me in the same by your mighty power, and grant as I now rise after
sleep, fresh and rejoicing, so my body after the sleep of death may rise
spiritualized and blessed to dwell with you forever.
Keep me from the perils and dangers of this day; let me fall into no
sin, neither run into any kind of danger, but let all my doings be ordered by
your governance, to do always what is righteous in your sight, through Jesus
Christ our Saviour.
