ALMIGHTY God, the Preserver of Thy people in their invisible wars, Who permittest not them that put their trust in Thee to be oppressed by their enemies: Wipe away, we beseech Thee, the tears of sin from the eyes of Thy servants, to the end that we through Thy grace may both now conquer in every carnal battle, and walk before Thee in the Light of the living; 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.53).
