BISHOP GILBERT'S PRAYER.
_To be offered up at all Meetings of the Committee and Members._
O Lord Jesus Christ, Who, in Thy ministry upon earth, didst make
the blind to see, the lame to walk, the deaf to hear, lepers to be
cleansed, the dead to be raised up (Matt. xi. 5, Luke vii. 22), and
by Thy holy apostle has commanded Thy followers, that we should
bear one another's burdens (Gal. vi. 2), regard with Thy favour, we
beseech Thee, and aid with Thy blessing, our humble endeavour to
remove stumbling-blocks from before the feet of the blind, to
smooth their difficulties, and to strengthen their steps.
Prosper our efforts, we humbly beseech Thee, O Father, to their
worldly relief, and sanctify them, by Thy Spirit, to the increase
in us of humility, faith, thankfulness, and charity, and to the
growth in our afflicted brethren and sisters of patience and
resignation, of goodwill to those around them, and of love to all,
with all other graces that adorn the Christian life. Of Thy mercy,
O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, one ever blessed Trinity in Unity,
hear our prayer, and accept and bless the work of our hands. O
prosper Thou our handiwork. Amen.
