supper. My lamp has gone out for want of oil, the door has

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy
Spirit:
To The Trinity:
I confess Thee to be undivided in essence,
unconfused in persons, One Triune Divinity, co-enthroned
and co-reigning. I sing Thee the great song thrice sung on
high.
Now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.

the laws of nature, and a womb gives birth without travail.
Where God wills, the order of nature is overruled; for He
does whatever He wishes.
