1 O Lord Almighty, *which art in heaven*,

Thou God of our fathers,

Of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob,

And of their righteous seed;

2 Thou who hast made the heaven and the earth,

With all the array thereof:

3 Who hast bound the sea by the word of thy command;

4 Who hast shut up the Deep, and sealed it

With thy terrible and glorious Name;

5 Whom all things do dread; yea, they tremble before thy power:

For the majesty of thy glory cannot be borne,

And the anger of thy threatening against sinners is unendurable:

6 Infinite and unsearchable is thy merciful promise;

7 For thou art the Lord Most High, of great compassion,

long-suffering and abundant in mercy, and repentest thee for the evils of men.

*Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness hast promised repentance and forgiveness to them that have sinned against thee; and in the multitude of thy mercies hast appointed repentance unto sinners, that they may be saved.*
