Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to
be written for our learning:
Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn,
and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed
hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Savior Jesus Christ;
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
