O GOD, the Sovereign God of the soul, Who requirest the hearts of all Thy children: deliver us from all sloth in Thy work, all coldness in Thy cause; and grant us, by looking unto Thee, to rekindle our love, and by waiting upon Thee, to renew our strength; 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.25).
