John and Charles Wesley

Lord God, who inspired your servants John and Charles Wesley with burning zeal for the sanctification of souls, and endowed them with eloquence in speech and song: Kindle in your Church, we entreat you, such fervor, that those whose faith has cooled may be warmed, and those who have not known Christ may turn to him and be saved; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

13 As a father shows compassion to his children,
   so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
14 For he knows our frame;[a]
   he remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass;
   he flourishes like a flower of the field;
16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
   and its place knows it no more.
17 But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
   and his righteousness to children's children,
18 to those who keep his covenant
   and remember to do his commandments.
Psalm 103 English Standard Version
