Lesser Feasts — St. George’s Day (April 23) (1)
John WordsworthO Lord God of hosts, who didst give grace to thy servant Saint George to lay aside the fear of man and to confess thee even unto death: Grant that all our countrymen who bear office in the world may think lightly of earthly place and honour, and seek rather to please thee, the Captain of our salvation, who hast chosen them to be thy soldiers; to whom with thee and the Holy Ghost be thanks and praise from all the armies of the saints, now and for evermore.
