August The Eleventh

IN the evening, and morning, and at noonday we praise Thee, we bless Thee, we thank Thee, and pray Thee, Master of all, to direct our prayer as incense before thee; and let not our hearts turn away to words or thoughts of wickedness, but rescue us from all things that hunt our souls; for to Thee, Lord, our eyes look up, and our hope is in Thee - Amen.
