WE sing of mercy and judgment unto Thee, 0 Lord, our Savior and Judge, help us with the one, warn us with the other; on that side is the light of pity, on this the rule of inquiry; grant us Thy humble servants, O Lord, that a froward heart may not cleave to us, and that evil things before our eyes may not allure us; but that walking in the simplicity of innocence, Thou mayest lead us on in Thy pity and love, and absolve us as a truthful Judge; Who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen (Oremus, 1925, p.48-49).
