Beloved brothers and sisters, let us rejoice in our God, for he takes great delight in bestowing benefits on his people. Let us fervently pray:
Increase your grace and your peace, Lord.
Eternal God, for whom a thousand years are like the passing day,
— help us to remember that life is like a flower which blossoms in the morning, but withers in the evening.
Increase your grace and your peace, Lord.
Give your people manna to satisfy their hunger,
— and living water to quench their thirst for all eternity.
Increase your grace and your peace, Lord.
Let your faithful ones seek and taste the things that are above,
— and let them direct their work and their leisure to your glory.
Increase your grace and your peace, Lord.
Deliver us from all harm, Lord,
— and pour out your abundant blessings on our homes.
Increase your grace and your peace, Lord.
Deliver us from all harm, Lord,
— and pour out your abundant blessings on our homes.
Increase your grace and your peace, Lord.
Show the faithful departed the vision of your face,
— let them rejoice in the contemplation of your presence.
Increase your grace and your peace, Lord.
