O LORD, we beseech Thee, graciously receive our prayers and supplications which we bring before Thee with thanksgiving, and grant that we, whom Thou in grace hast heard, may be genuinely thankful to Thee, praise and magnify Thy holy name and ever increase in Thy love and service; 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.65).
