Saint Macarius the Wonder Worker

To you, O Master, who loves all mankind

I hasten on rising from sleep.

By your mercy I go out to do your work

and I make my prayer to you.

Help me at all times and in all things.

Deliver me from every evil thing of this world

and from pursuit by the devil.

Save me and bring me to your eternal kingdom,

For you are my Creator,

You inspire all good thoughts in me.

In you is all my hope and to you I give glory,

now and forever.

-- Saint Macarius the Wonder Worker
