O GRACIOUS and merciful God! Father, Son and Holy Ghost! look down from heaven, the throne of Thy eternal glory, upon me Thy unworthy servant, with the eyes of mercy and compassion. O Lord, my God, I disclaim all merit; I renounce all righteousness of my own; and I fly for refuge, for pardon and sanctification, to the righteousness of Jesus, Thy Anointed. For Thy tender mercies' sake, for the sake of Thy blessed Jesus, the Son of Thy love, in whom Thou art ever well pleased, have mercy upon me; receive my prayers; pardon my infirmities: strengthen my weak resolutions; guide my steps to Thy holy altar, and there feed me with the meat that perisheth not, but endureth to everlasting life. Amen.
