ALMIGHTY GOD, Whose Spirit, teaching the spirit of man, can lift us into the true wisdom, and bring us into true constancy; teach unto us by Thy Spirit, using human language, human love, human thought, and human hope, the great, deep things of God; that we, ceasing to be greatly moved, and stirred not by those things that pass away, may lay hold upon the unchanging truths, the abiding faith, the constant trust of holy souls; and walking in the way of lowliness and lovingness, abide in the Spirit of God; and having that Spirit now, in time, may through Him live eternally before Thee. Of Thy mercy hear our supplications, offered in the name of Christ Jesus our Lord.—AMEN.
