Addressing God as

We bless TheeYou, O God most high and Lord of mercy, who always doestdo great and unsearchable things for us, glorious and wonderful, without number. ThouYou grantestgrant us sleep for the rest of our weakness, and relief from the labors of our much-toiling flesh.

We thank TheeYou that ThouYou hasthave not destroyed us with our iniquities, but in ThyYour usual love for mankind ThouYou hasthave raised us, lying in despair, to glorify ThyYour power. We implore ThyYour boundless goodness: enlighten the eyes of our understanding, raise our minds from the heavy sleep of laziness, open our mouths and fill them with ThyYour praise, that we may unceasingly sing and confess TheeYou, the God glorified in all and by all, the eternal Father, with ThineYour only-begotten Son, and ThineYour all-holy, good and life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
