Book of Common OrderBlessed and glorious Lord God Almighty, by whose power, wisdom, and love all things are sanctified, enlightened and made perfect: Be merciful unto us and bless us, we beseech thee, and cause thy face to shine upon us, that what we now do may please thee, and show forth the honour of thy name. Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
