Morning Prayer

O Lord, we beseech you mercifully to hear us;

and grant that we, to whom you have given a fervent desire to pray,

may, by your mighty aid, be defended and comforted in all dangers and adversities; 

through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, 

one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
