For The Church, General Prayer 1

VISIT, O Lord, this Vine, which Thou hast brought out of the Egypt of troubles with Thy strong right hand; that quickened by the light of Thy countenance, it may be glad with the plenteousness of good fruits in Thee; 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: Collects, Devotions, Litanies From Ancient and Modern Sources, Edited by Paul Zeller Strodach, Augsburg Publishing House, 1925).
