GOD, the Life of the faithful, the Savior and Guardian of those that fear Thee, Who, after the expiration of a year, hast been pleased to bring Thy servant N.N., to this his natural birthday: Increase in him. the grace of the Protector of life, and multiply his days with many years, that having, by Thy favor, been carried through a happy life, he may be enabled to attain the height of heavenly joys; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.82).
