O GOD, by Whose command the order of all time runs its course: Look graciously upon me Thy servant, whom Thou hast been pleased to call to Thy service, and that my service may be pleasing unto Thee, do Thou mercifully preserve in me Thy gifts ; 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.74).
