R. To keeping the way of Thy commandments.
V. The crooked ways shall be made straight.

R. To keep thee in all thy ways.

R. And let my cry come unto Thee.
Let us pray.
O God, who didst make the children of Israel to pass dryshod through the midst of the sea; and who by the leading of a star didst show to the three kings the way unto Thee: grant to us, we beseech Thee, a prosperous journey and a quiet time, that under the guidance of Thy holy Angel, we may happily arrive at the place whither we are going, and at length reach the haven of eternal salvation.
O God, who didst lead Abraham Thy servant out of Ur of the Chaldeans, and didst keep him unhurt through all the ways
