A Prayer for the Clergy and People.

ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who art the giver of every good and perfect gift; Send down upon our Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, and all Congregations committed to their charge, the healthful Spirit of thy grace and that they may truly please thee, pour upon them the continual dew of thy blessing. Grant this, O Lord, for the honour of our Advocate and Mediator, Jesus Christ. Amen.

A concluding Prayer.

ALMIGHTY God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplications unto thee; and by thy beloved Son dost promise that when two or three are gathered together in his Name, thou wilt grant their requests : Fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of thy servants, as may be most expedient for them; granting us in this world knowledge of thy truth, and in the world to come life everlasting. Amen.
