STIR UP YOUR POWER, O Lord, and with great might come among us; and, because we are sorely hindered by our sins, let your bountiful grace and mercy speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen. — THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER, P. 212

MAY CHRIST, whose second coming in power and great glory we await, ✠ make us steadfast in faith, joyful in hope, and constant in love. Amen.

PURIFY OUR CONSCIENCE, Almighty God, by your daily visitation, that your Son Jesus Christ, at his coming, may find in us a mansion prepared for himself; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

MAKE US WATCHFUL AND ALERT, O Lord our God, that when he comes, your Son Christ our Lord will not find us sleeping in sin or distracted with fears, but awake, strong in faith, active in service, and rejoicing in your praises, through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE YEAR DECLINES AND OUR DAYS DRAW TO A CLOSE; let us, for it is time, amend our doings to the praise of Christ, let our lamps be burning, for the exalted Judge cometh to judge the nations. Amen.

O LORD, YOU HAVE SET before us the great hope that your kingdom shall come on earth, and have taught us to pray for its coming; give us grace to discern the signs of its dawning, and to work for the perfect day when your will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. — PERCY DEARMER
