At Ten O'clock.
O Thou just and gracious God and Father, I confess with frankness and sorrow that I have not only been conceived and born in sin but that I have also frequently transgressed Thy holy Ten Commandments in thoughts, words, and deeds, thereby fully deserving both this my temporal cross and also everlasting punishment.
But since thy most blessed Son, my faithful Savior Jesus Christ, with His precious merits and His holy blood has fully atoned for all my sins, original and actual, I pray Thee to be gracious unto me for his sake and not to add eternal punishment to my temporal chastisement.
And so incline me by Thy Holy Spirit that I be separate from the great multitude of the ungodly and ever strive after true faith and those good Christian works that proceed therefrom. Especially do Thou grant that I be patient in tribulation, fight a good fight, keep the faith and a good conscience, and after this life live in Thy tabernacle forever. Grant relief to me in my suffereings, if it be Thy holy will, and so lighten my cross that I shall be able to bear it; for the sake of Thy dear Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
