The Great Litany 

*To be said or sung, kneeling, standing, or in procession; before the 
Eucharist or after the Collects of Morning or Evening Prayer; or 
separately; especially in Lent and on Rogation days.* 

O God the Father, Creator of heaven and earth,
Have mercy upon us. 

O God the Son, Redeemer of the world,
Have mercy upon us. 

O God the Holy Spirit, Sanctifier of the faithful,
Have mercy upon us. 

O holy, blessed, and glorious Trinity, one God,
Have mercy upon us. 

Remember not, Lord Christ, our offenses, nor the offenses
of our forefathers; neither reward us according to our sins.
Spare us, good Lord, spare thy people, whom thou hast
redeemed with thy most precious blood, and by thy mercy
preserve us, for ever.
Spare us, good Lord. 

From all evil and wickedness; from sin; from the crafts
and assaults of the devil; and from everlasting damnation,
Good Lord, deliver us.
