Occasional Prayers

O Almighty God, without beginning and without end, the Lord of thine own works: We praise and bless thee that thou gayest a beginning to time, and to the world in time, and to all mankind in the world; and we beseech thee so to dispose all men and all things that they may be gathered up in thee and thine endless heaven; through him who is the first and the last, thine everlasting Word, our Saviour Jesus Christ.
