O God, make speed to save us.
We have sinned, O Lord, we have sinned, spare our sins,
And save us; Thou who guidedst Noah over the flood waves,
Hear us; Who with Thy word recalledst Jonah from the abyss;
Deliver us; Who stretchedst forth Thy hand to Peter as he sank, help us,
O Christ Son of God, Thou didst the marvelous things of the Lord with our fathers, be favourable in our days also;
Stretch forth Thy hand from on high.
Deliver us, O Christ.
Hear us, O Christ."
-Stowe Missal, 9th Century A.D.
