Blessed Lord, Who has caused all Holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Help us so to hear them,
To read, mark, learn and inwardly digest them,
That through patience, and the comfort of your holy word, We may embrace and forever hold fast the hope of everlasting life,
which you have given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen
