O give me the comfort of thy help again, * and stablish me with thy free Spirit.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

It is
not ourselves that we proclaim; we proclaim Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves
as your servants, for Jesus' sake. For the same God who said, "Out of
darkness let light shine," has caused his light to shine within us, to
give the light of revelation--the revelation of the glory of God in the face of
Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:5-6

As it was in the beginning, is
now and ever shall be world without end, Amen.
