Early Syriac Prayer Fragments

[Archive witness: prayer fragments of the early Syriac-speaking church.]

O Lord, gather your church from the four winds into your kingdom, as the grain is gathered into the barn; keep her in your truth, and guard her from the evil one. [Line damaged]

Have mercy on me, O Lord, in your kindness;

let my prayer rise before you like incense.

Forgive your servant his debts,

and write his name in the book of life.
