WE beseech Thee, O Lord, in Thy compassion to increase Thy faith in us, because Thou wilt not deny the aid of Thy loving kindness to those on whom bestowest a steadfast faith in Thee; 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.33).
