Historical edition. Historical claims and instructions are preserved as historical context.

Father if it be possible, Remove this Cup from me, Nevertheless not my Will, but Thine be done!

Trouble and heaviness have taken hold on me, but my sure Trust, is in Thee, O Lord!

Forsake me not, O my God, when my strength faileth me, Haste Thee to help me, O Lord God of my salvation!

Lord teach me so to number my days, that I may apply my Heart to wisdom!

Deal Thou with me O Lord, according to Thy Name, for sweet is Thy Mercy!

Lord what is my Hope! truly My Hope is even in Thee!

O my Soul, Tarry thou the Lords leisure, be strong and He shall comfort thy heart, and put thou thy trust in the Lord!

Into Thy Hands I commend my spirit, for Thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, Thou God of Truth!

In my Fathers house are many Mansions, and Thou Lord Jesus art gone before, to prepare a place for us, that where Thou art we may be also!

Lord be merciful to me Miserable sinner!

O Lord God, we must all at the last day appear, before Thy Judgment Seat, O Cleanse me from my sins, that I may be found blameless, at the Coming of the Lord Jesus!

As the day goeth away, and the shadows of the Evening are stretched out, so passeth away my life even like a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and vanisheth away!

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, the good things which God has laid up, for those that love Him: Lord do Thou therefore enflame my soul with Thy Love!

I know Lord that Thy Judgments are right, and Thou of very faithfulness, hast caused me to be troubled.

O Heavenly Father, my Hope is wholly in Thy Mercy, and in the merits, and sufferings of my Saviour, O for his sake forgive and save me!
