Prayers Ancient and Modern 03/06
O Lord, the Portion of our inheritance, give us grace, I pray Thee, never to aim at or desire anything out of Thee. What we can enjoy in Thee, give us according to Thy will; what we cannot, deny us.-Amen
Christina G. Rossetti
Grant unto us, O Lord God, that we may love one another un-feignedly; for where love is, there art Thou; and he that lov-eth his brother is born of Thee, and dwelleth in Thee, and Thou in him. And where brethren do glorify Thee with one accord, there dost Thou pour out Thy blessing upon them. Love us, therefore, O Lord, and shed Thy love into our hearts, that we may love Thee, and our brethren in Thee and for Thee, as all children to Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord—Amen.
Book of Christian Prayers, 1578.
