From slothfulness, from dulness in faith, and from distrust of Thy power;

By the mystery of Thy holy Incarnation;
By Thy Cross and Passion;

By Thy precious Death and Burial;

By Thy glorious Resurrection and Ascension;
By Thy Intercession at the right hand of God;

By Thy desire for the Sanctification of the Church; That it may please Thee, O Lord, to revive Thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years to make known; in wrath to remember mercy;

We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord.

That it may please Thee to perfect Thy Church in faith and godly discipline, and to grant that she may be throughly furnished unto all good works;

That it may please Thee, to give all Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, the spirit of faithfulness, devotion, and love; and to make them examples to Thy flock in all holy conversation and godliness;

That it may please Thee to call many to the work of missions, and to bless all who are obedient to Thy call; That it may please Thee to have mercy upon the and upon all that have not known Thy Name; That it may please Thee to send them the light of Thy truth, and to give them grace to receive Thy Word;

That it may please Thee to bring to nought the powers of ignorance and error by which souls are held in bondage;

That it may please Thee to encourage and sustain the converts to the faith in every land, making them strong to endure enmity and patient under reproach;

That it may please Thee to extend the means of grace to all in our own land and in our other possessions who have them not;

Son of God, we beseech Thee to hear us.

Son of God, we beseech Thee to hear us.

O Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world;

Have mercy upon us.

Have mercy upon us.

O Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world;

Grant us Thy Peace.

O Christ, hear us.

O Christ, hear us.

Lord, have mercy upon us.

Christ, have mercy upon us.

Lord, have mercy upon us.

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil. Amen.

Let us pray.

O Lord our Saviour, who hast taught us that Thou wilt require much of those to whom much is given; Grant that we and all those to whom Thou hast entrusted earthly treasure, may use it to Thy glory; and that, being mindful of our stewardship to Thee, we may dispense our gifts to help and not to hurt; that so, making friends of the mammon of unrighteousness, we may be enabled to set forward the coming of Thy Kingdom, and at last, with all Thine elect people, be received into Thy heavenly habitations, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Grant, O Lord, that we whose lot Thou hast cast in a goodly heritage, may strive together the more abundantly, by prayer, by giving, and by work, to extend to others what we enjoy; and as we have entered into

the labors of other men, so to labor that other men may in turn enter into ours, to the edifying of Thy Kingdom and the glory of Thy Holy Name, who art with the Father and the Holy Ghost, one God world without end. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. Amen.
