A Prayer for God's Leading
Lead us, O God, from the sight of the lovely things of the world
to the thought of you, their Creator;
And grant that delighting in the beautiful things of your creation,
we may delight in you, the first author of beauty
and the Sovereign Lord of all your works, blessed for evermore. Amen.[1]
A Prayer of Blessing
"Grant, O God, of your mercy,
that we may come to everlasting life,
and there beholding your glory as it is, may equally say:
Glory to the Father who created us,
Glory to the Son who redeemed us,
Glory to the Holy Spirit who sanctified us.
Glory to the most high and undivided Trinity,
whose works are inseparable,
whose kingdom without end abides,
from age to age forever. Amen.[2]
