Occasional Prayers

O Thou who art the Light of the world, the Desire of all nations, and the Shepherd of our souls: Let thy light shine in the darkness, that all the ends of the earth may see the salvation of our God. By the lifting up of thy cross gather the peoples to thine obedience; let thy sheep hear thy voice and be brought home to thy fold; so that there may be one flock, one Shepherd; one holy kingdom of righteousness and peace; one God and Father of us all, to whom be glory for ever and ever.
