English · The Book of Common Prayer, 1662, 1662

Almighty God, who hast given vs grace at this

time with one accord to make our common supplications vnto thee, and do'st promise that when

two or three are gathered together in thy Name,

thou wilt grant their Requests ; fulfill now, O Lord,

the desires and petitions of thy servants, as may

be most expedient for them, granting vs in this

world knowledge of thy truth, and in the world to

come life everlasting. Amen.
