ALMIGHTY, everlasting God, Lord, Heavenly Father, Whose Word is a lamp to our feet and a light on our way: Open and enlighten my mind that I may understand Thy Word purely, clearly and devoutly, and fashion my life according to. it, in order that I may never displease Thy Majesty; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen. (Oremus, 1925, p.27).
