O GOD, the Might of all them that put their trust in Thee: Grant that we may be more than conquerors over all that make war upon our souls, and in the end may enter into perfect peace in Thy presence; 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.52).
