FORGIVE O Lord, I most humbly implore Thee, my many sins, and be gracious to my great unworthiness, granting me Thy blessing and grace so to come before Thee as will wholly show forth Thy praise and be to the good of souls: through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.136, adapted for lay use).
