The third collect, for Grace

O Lord, our heavenly Father,¹

Almighty and everlasting God,²

who has safely brought us to the beginning of this day;³

Defend us in the same with your mighty power;⁴

and grant that this day we fall into no sin,⁵

neither run into any kind of danger;⁶

but that all our doings may be ordered by your governance,⁷

to do always that which is righteous in your sight;⁸

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.⁹
