From the Intercession for the First Day

I commend to Thee, O Lord,

my soul, and my body,

my mind, and my thoughts,

my prayers, and my vows,

my senses, and my works,

my life, and my death;

my brothers, my sisters, and their children;

my friends, benefactors, and well-wishers,

those who have a claim on me,

my kindred, my neighbours,

my country, and all Christian people.

I commend to Thee, O Lord,

my impulses, and my occasions,

my resolves, and my attempts,

my going out, and my coming in,

my sitting down, and my rising up.

-- Lancelot Andrewes (1555-1626), from "First Day: Intercessions," in Devotions, p. 79
