God, which knowest us to be set in the midst of so many and great dangers, that for man's frailness we cannot always stand uprightly; Grant to us the health of body and soul that all those things which we suffer for sin, by Thy help we may well pass and overcome; through Christ our Lord. Amen. (Thomas Cranmer for the Fourth Sunday after Epiphany)
ETERNAL and ever-blessed God, who art the Author of our life, and the end of our pilgrimage; We beseech Thee so to guide us by Thy Word and Spirit, amid all perils and temptations, that we may not wander from Thy way, nor stumble upon the dark mountains; but may finish our course in safety, and come to our eternal rest in Thee; through the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. (The Book of Common Worship, 1906)
"O’er all those wide extended plains / Shines one eternal day;
"There God the Son forever reigns / And scatters night away."
