George Dawson (1821-1876)

Grant unto us,
Almighty God,
the knowledge of Thy way,
and the spirit of obedience thereunto,
that,
being conformed in thought and words unto Thy way,
Thy peace may rule in our hearts.
Help us to cast out all those things which are contrary to Thy peace,
Or that are not according to Thy will,
so that ours may be the quiet life of trust,
and faith,
and obedience,
living lowly,
longing for Thy truth,
and walking in the light thereof,
that Thy blessing may be upon us,
and the light of Thy countenance our perpetual delight.
Hear us of Thy mercy,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
