O God, heavenly Father, who by your Son Jesus Christ has promised to all those who seek your kingdom, and the righteousness thereof, all things necessary to their bodily sustenance;1
Send us, we beseech you, in this our necessity, such moderate rain and showers,2
that we may receive the fruits of the earth to our comfort, and to your honour; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.3
