Be gracious, O
Instructor, to us Thy children, Father, Charioteer of Israel, Son
and Father, both in One, O Lord. Grant to us who obey Thy precepts,
that we may perfect the likeness of the image, and with all our
power know Him who is the good God and not a harsh judge. And do
Thou Thyself cause that all of us who have our conversation in Thy
peace, who have been translated into Thy commonwealth, having sailed
tranquilly over the billows of sin, may be wafted in calm by Thy
Holy Spirit, by the ineffable wisdom, by night and day to the
perfect day; and giving thanks may praise, and praising thank the
Alone Father and Son, Son and Father, the Son, Instructor and
Teacher, with the Holy Spirit, all in One, in whom is all, for whom
all is One, for whom is eternity, whose members we all are, whose
glory the aeons(4) are; for the All-good, All-lovely, All-wise,
All-just One. To whom be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
And since the Instructor, by translating us into His Church, has
united us to Himself, the teaching and all-surveying Word, it were
right that, having got to this point, we should offer to the Lord
the reward of due thanksgiving--praise suitable to His fair
instruction. |
