O God of light, and life, and love, we humbly pray Thee to accept the never-ceasing intercession of our Mediator and Redeemer, for us miserable sinners, and graciously grant that our Lord when He cometh may find us in the number of those who are waiting for Him. O hasten the period when the Prince of Peace shall reign over every region, every race, and every tongue, and when every voice and every heart shall own Thee for their God and King. Be especially present this day with the Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, of Thy Holy

Church, especially with our Bishop, and our Minister, and with the flock whom Thou hast purchased with the blood of Thy dear Son, and regenerated with Thy Holy Spirit; bless our Queen and all in authority under her; teach them that they must account to Thee for all their deeds and motives. Have mercy upon and bless all our dear relations, friends, and benefactors, (especially*) * Introduce and endue our enemies with individuals and their a spirit of love, for Jesus special cases.
