Matthew Henry: Piercing Heaven – Puritan’s Prayers

Holy, holy, holy. Lord God Almighty, who is, and was, and is to come.

O you, whose name alone is Jehovah, and who is the Most High over all the earth.

O God, you are our God, early will we seek you. Our God, we will praise you; our fathers’ God, we will exalt you.

O you, who are the true God, the living God, the one only living and true God, and the everlasting King; the Lord our God, who is one Lord.

You are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty. You cover yourself with light as with a garment. You are light, and in you is no darkness at all.

You are love, and they that dwell in love dwell in God, and God in them.

You are the Father of light, with whom is no variableness or shadow of turning, and from whom proceeds every good and every perfect gift.

You are the blessed and only ruler, the King of kings, and the Lord of lords, who only has immortality, dwelling in the light which no one can approach, whom no one has seen or can see.

Amen.
