Grant us the grace that we may know the Father of all might,
That we of his beloved Son may gain the blissful sight;
And that we may with perfect faith ever acknowledge thee,
The Spirit of Father, and of Son, One God in Persons Three.
To God the Father laud and praise, and to his blessed Son,
And to the Holy Spirit of grace, co-equal Three in One.
And pray we, that our only Lord would please his Spirit to send
On all that shall profess his Name, from hence to the world's end. Amen.
That done, the Bishop shall pray in this wise, and say,
Let us pray.
