We sinners,
Beseech thee, hear us.
That we may put off the old man with his acts, Beseech thee, hear us.
That we may put on the new man, who is created in justice and holiness of truth, Beseech thee, hear us.
That we may walk in newness of life,
That we may grow in grace, and in the knowledge of thee,
That we may persevere unto the end,
That, having risen with thee, we may die no more,
That we may attain unto the resurrection of the just,
That thou wouldst vouchsafe to feed us continually with the bread of life,
That thou wouldst reform the body of our lowliness, and make it like unto the body of thy glory,
That we may have confidence before thee at thy coming,
