We fall down before Thee, O merciful Father, to offer up our united prayers and praises at the footstool of Thy divine Majesty. We thank Thee that Thou has preserved us during the night past in peace and safety, and raised us up again to see the light of another morning. ~ William Wilberforce 1759-1833
