O Lord our God, teach us, we ask You,

O Lord our God, teach us, we ask You, to ask You in the right way for the right blessings. Steer the vessel of our life toward Yourself, You tranquil haven of all storm-tossed souls. Show us the course wherein we should go. Renew a willing spirit within us.

For Yours is the glory and praise from all Your saints, for ever and ever.

Amen.
