The twenty-third Sunday after Trinity.

O Lord our God, our Refuge near, our Strength, our Hope, our Joy, our Fear: Thy people’s supplications hear! Author of all of good and true, work in us both to will and do; our service own; our hearts renew: we ask this through thy Son, the Christ, our Lord! Enthroned in heavenly glory, see Thy Church devoutly seeking Thee; hear Thou her earnest litany! May Thy good Spirit’s quickening ray be near to bless us when we pray; give peace and pardon day by day: and this we say through Jesus Christ, our Lord! Ask we in faith, that not in vain we seek Thy face, but may obtain all that is good for us to gain! To God the Father glory be, the Son, begotten equally, the Spirit Who from both proceeds: this all we plead through Jesus Christ our Lord!

1 O Lord our God, our Refuge near,
our Strength, our Hope, our Joy, our Fear:
Thy people’s supplications hear!
Author of all of good and true,
work in us both to will and do;
our service own; our hearts renew:
we ask this through thy Son, the Christ, our Lord!
2 Enthroned in heavenly glory, see
Thy Church devoutly seeking Thee;
hear Thou her earnest litany!
May Thy good Spirit’s quickening ray
be near to bless us when we pray;
give peace and pardon day by day:
and this we say through Jesus Christ, our Lord!
3 Ask we in faith, that not in vain
we seek Thy face, but may obtain
all that is good for us to gain!
To God the Father glory be,
the Son, begotten equally,
the Spirit Who from both proceeds:
this all we plead through Jesus Christ our Lord!

The twenty-third Sunday after Trinity.

O God, our refuge and strength, who art the author of all godliness; be ready, we beseech thee, to hear the devout prayers of thy Church; and grant that those things which we ask faithfully we may obtain effectually; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
