O GOD, incomprehensible, Who doest great wonders, Who changest the waters, which once stood still in Thy sight, at later time into wine: We humbly beseech Thee to hear the voice of our crying, to bestow on us such remembrance that we may never forget Thee; livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen (Oremus, 1925, p.59-60).
