A Prayer to Christ Our God

+


O CHRIST OUR GOD, 
the wisdom, the power, and the glory of the Father, 
who dwelt among us as the Word made flesh 
and, having overcome the prince of darkness, 
returned to the eternal joys of heaven: 
Grant us, even now in the midst of this dark world, 
the full outpouring of thy splendour, 
and appoint thy holy angels to be our defenders, 
to guard our going out and our coming in, 
until by thy mercy, 
we stand in the eternal light, 
where thou dost live and reign, 
world without end. Amen.
