| O God of unchangeable
power and eternal light: Look favorably on your whole
Church, that wonderful and sacred mystery; by the effectual working of your
providence, carry out in tranquillity the plan of salvation; let the whole world
see and know that things which were cast down are being raised up, and things
which had grown old are being made new, and that all things are being brought
to their perfection by him through whom all things were made, your Son Jesus
Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Book of Common Prayer, p. 515) |
