Transcript / Notes

THOU knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts; shut not Thy merciful ears to our prayer but spare us, Lord most holy, O God most mighty, O holy and merciful Saviour, Thou most worthy Judge eternal, suffer us not, at our last hour, for any pains of death, to fall from Thee.

Book of Common Prayer (1662)
