* Morninc Prayer: A short section. 
“ Let us adore God and surrender ourselves. 
“ Oh! Lord, oh! God, receive our homage and adoration. ‘Thou art the living, true, 
and only God, who hast created heaven and earth, and all things, out of nothing. Thou 
art the Lord of all. I praise thee Grant me understanding and an intelligent heart, 
and love towards thee, oh! gracious God. Thou hast chosen me from among the 
heathen to forsake darkness. I trust in the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, who 
are one God; and I believe that the Son of God, the Lord Jesus, descended, became 
man, suffered, and died, for the sins of mankind. 'The Lord can forgive my wickedness, 
and vouchsafe deliverance from sin to me, who am a Christian and a child of God, so that 
I may enjoy eternal happiness, for the Lord’s sake.”
