O GOD incomprehensible,* Who doest great wonders, Who changedst the waters, which once stood still in Thy sight, at later time into wine, we humbly beseech Thee to hear the voice of our crying, to bestow on us such remembrance that we may never forget Thee. Who livest.

O LORD,* hear the prayer which we pour forth in the time of our trouble, attend to our desire when we stretch out our hands in the night, hasten, as the best of Comforters, to our souls, and be our Redeemer by Thy pardoning grace: and as Thou didst purchase us by Thy voluntary Passion, so deliver us by Thine unconquered power from the snare of the hunter. (11.)

Almighty and wonderful GOD,* Who alone doest great marvels, and Who reignest for ever, forget us not, nor let us be lowered to the utterance of human praise, but grant us to be glad in thinking on Thee, in Whom is our fullest glorying. (11.)

We pray Thee,* O LORD, cast us not away from favour with Thee, but grant us yet time to win Thy mercy, that the Right Hand which punished our sins may be our everlasting remedy in our contrition. (11.)

O merciful GOD, (D. C.) of unspeakable lovingkindness to thousands, take not away from us Thy mercy for evermore in wrath at our sins, forget not to have pity on us, but by Thy compassion vouchsafe us to be counted worthy of everlasting salvation. Through. (1.)
