TEXT
Prevent us, O Lord, in all our doings with thy most gracious favour,
and further us with thy continual help; that in all our works begun,
continued, and ended in thee, we may glorify thy holy name, and finally by
thy mercy obtain everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
(The Book of Common Prayer 1549)
