and make the light of your face to shine upon us, - that your ways may be known upon earth:

let all the peoples praise you. - Let the nations be glad, and sing for joy:
for you judge the peoples righteously,
and guide the nations on earth. - Let the peoples praise you O God:
let all the peoples praise you. - The earth has yielded its harvest:
and you our God will bless us. - Your blessing O God be upon us:
and let all the ends of the world revere you.
Special Collect
Almighty God,
give us the grace to cast off the works of darkness
and put on the armour of light,,
now in the time of this mortal life,
in which your Son Jesus Christ came to us in great humility;,
so that when he shall come again in his glorious majesty
we may rise to the life immortal;
through him who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit,
one God now and forever.
Amen.
