O God of our salvation,
answer us with deliverance--
you are the hope of all the world.
When we are in the gall of bitterness
pray stir us up by the teaching of Jesus,
that we may consider what awesome deeds
you have done for us, repent of our
wickedness,
and, with all our heart, vow faithfully to
serve you.
