That it may please you to bless and keep all your people,
I beseech [beg] you to hear me, good Lord.
That it may please you to send laborers into your harvest
and to draw all humankind into your kingdom,
I beseech you to hear me, good Lord.
That it may please you to give to all people increase of grace to hear and receive your Word,
and to bring forth the fruits of the Spirit,
I beseech you to hear me, good Lord.
That it may please you to bring into the way of truth all such as have erred,
and are deceived,
I beseech you to hear me, good Lord.
That it may please you to give me a heart to love and fear you,
and diligently to live after your commandments,
I beseech you to hear me, good Lord.
(The Night Offices, p. 52-3)
