Almighty God, who restored our human nature to heavenly
glory through the perfect obedience of our Savior Jesus Christ: Keep alive in
your Church, we pray, a passion for justice and truth; that, like your servant
Federick Denison Maurice, we may work and pray for the triumph of the kingdom
of your Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now
and for ever. Amen
11 May all kings fall down before him,
all nations serve
him!
12 For he delivers the needy when he calls,
the poor and him
who has no helper.
13 He has pity on the weak and the needy,
and saves the
lives of the needy.
14 From oppression and violence he redeems their life,
and precious is
their blood in his sight.
15 Long may he live; may gold of Sheba be given to him!
May prayer be made
for him continually,
and blessings invoked for him all the day!
16 May there be abundance of grain in the land;
on the tops of the
mountains may it wave;
may its fruit be
like Lebanon;
and may people
blossom in the cities like the grass of the field!
17 May his name endure forever, his fame continue as long as
the sun!
May people be
blessed in him, all nations call him blessed!
