Wash me throughly from my wickedness, * and cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my faults, * and my sin is ever before me.
Against thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight; * that thou mightest be justified in thy saying, and clear when thou art judged.
Behold, I was shapen in wickedness, * and in sin hath my mother conceived me.
But lo, thou requirest truth in the inward parts, * and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly.
Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; * thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness, * that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Turn thy face from my sins, * and put out all my misdeeds.
Make me a clean heart, O God, * and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from thy presence, * and take not thy holy Spirit from me.
Wash me throughly from my wickedness, * and cleanse me from my sin.

Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou that art the God of my health; * and my tongue shall sing of thy righteousness.
Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord, * and my mouth shall show thy praise.
For thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it thee; * but thou delightest not in burnt-offerings.

Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be
done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And
forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And
lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. Amen.
O
Lord, save thy servants;
That put their trust in thee.
Send unto them help from above.

they, whose consciences by sin are accused, by thy merciful pardon may be
absolved; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
O MOST mighty God, and
merciful Father, who hast compassion upon all men, and who wouldest not the
death of a sinner, but rather that he should turn from his sin, and be saved;
Mercifully forgive us our trespasses; re-ceive and comfort us, who are grieved
and wearied with the burden of our sins. Thy property is always to have mercy;
to thee only it appertaineth to forgive sins. Spare us there-fore, good Lord,
spare thy people, whom thou hast re-deemed; enter not into judgment with thy
servants; but so turn thine anger from us, who meekly acknowledge our transgressions,
and truly repent us of our faults, and so make haste to help us in this world,
that we may ever live with thee in the world to come; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
¶ Then
shall the People say this that followeth, after the Minister.
TURN thou us, O good Lord,
and so shall we be turned. Be favourable, O Lord, Be favourable to thy people,
Who turn to thee in weeping, fasting, and praying. For thou art a merciful God,
Full of compassion, Long-suffering, and of great pity. Thou sparest when we
deserve punishment, And in thy wrath thinkest upon mercy. Spare thy people,
good Lord, spare them, And let not thine heritage be brought to confusion. Hear
us, O Lord, for thy mercy is great, And after the multitude of thy mercies look
upon us; Through the merits and mediation of thy blessed Son, Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
¶ Then the Minister shall say,
O GOD, whose nature and
property is ever to have mercy and to forgive; Receive our humble petitions;
and though we be tied and bound with the chain of our sins, yet let the
pitifulness of thy great mercy loose us; for the honour of Jesus Christ, our
Mediator and Advocate. Amen.
THE
Lord bless us, and keep us. The Lord make his face to shine upon us, and be
gracious unto us. The Lord lift up his countenance upon us, and give us peace,
both now and evermore. Amen.
