ps 138:3
Almighty God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armour of light,1
now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility;2
that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the quick and the dead,3
we may rise to the life immortal;4
through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Ghost, one God, now and for ever. Amen.5
