Having risen from sleep, I thank TheeYou, O Holy Trinity, that in ThyYour great goodness and long-suffering ThouYou wastwere not angry with me, slothful and sinful as I am, and ThouYou didstdid not destroy me in my transgressions. In ThyYour usual love for mankind, ThouYou hasthave raised me, lying in despair, to sing the morning hymn and to glorify ThyYour sovereign power.
Enlighten now the eyes of my understanding, open my mouth to learn ThyYour words, to understand ThyYour commandments and to do ThyYour will. Grant me to sing to TheeYou in heartfelt confession, and to praise ThyYour most holy name, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Then: Come, let us worship God our King. Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ, our King and our God. Come, let us worship and fall down before Christ himself, our King and our God. Followed by Psalm 50 and the Symbol of Faith.
