During my studying I found what is claimed to be the last prayer of the original Templars from approx, the year 1314 and thought I’d share it.
The Knights Templar's Last Prayer circa 1314
May the grace of the holy Spirit be present with us. Way Mary, Star of the Sea, lead us to the harbor of salvation. Amen.

The Knights Templar's Last Prayer circa 1314
May the grace of the holy Spirit be present with us. Way Mary, Star of the Sea, lead us to the harbor of salvation. Amen.
Lord Jesus Christ, holy Father, eternal God, omnipotent, omniscient Creator, Bestower, kind Ruler and most tender lover, pious and humble Redeemer: gentle, merciful Savior, Lord! I
humbly beseech The and implore Thee that Thou may enlighten me, free me and preserve the brothers of the Temple and all Thy Christian people, troubled as they are. o Thou, O Lord, Who knowest
that we are innocent, set us free that we may keep our vows and your
commandments in humility, and serve Thee and act according to Thy will.
(Dispel) all those unjust reproaches, far from the truth, heaped upon us by the means of tough adversities, great tribulations and temptations, which we have endured, but can endure no longer.
Omnipotent, eternal God, who hast
so loved the blessed John the Evangelist and Apostle, that he reclined upon Thy bosom at the Last Supper, and to whom Thou revealed and showed the Mysteries of heaven, and to whom, while suspended on the holy Cross, for the sake of our redemption, Thou commended Thy most Noly Wother and Virgin, and in whose honor (our) Order was created and instituted: through Thy holy mercifulness, deliver us and preserve us, as Thou knowest that we are innocent of the crimes that we are accused of, so that we may take possession of the works,
by which we may be guided to the joys of Paradise, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Blessings to all

Note: You will note some glaring mistakes (eg: “Noly Wother the most obvious and others) which I chose not to correct. The source I used chose not to edit the prayer either so apparently somewhere in history someone made a transcription error which has remained. Thank you for your understanding.
