 A Collect for Sundays

Lord God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ triumphed over the powers of death and prepared for us our place in the  new Jerusalem: Grant that we, who have this day given  thanks for his resurrection, may praise thee in that City of  which he is the light; and where he liveth and reigneth for ever  and ever. Amen.

A Collect for Fridays

O Lord Jesus Christ, who by thy death didst take away the sting of death: Grant unto us thy servants so to follow in  faith where thou hast led the way, that we may at length fall  asleep peacefully in thee, and awake up after thy likeness; for  thy tender mercies’ sake. Amen.

A Collect for Saturdays

O God, the source of eternal light: Shed forth thine unending day upon us who watch for thee, that our lips may praise thee,  our lives may bless thee, and our worship on the morrow may  give thee glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Collect for Peace

O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed: Give unto thy servants that peace  which the world cannot give, that our hearts may be set to  obey thy commandments, and also that by thee, we, being  defended from the fear of all enemies, may pass our time in  rest and quietness; through the merits of Jesus Christ our  Savior. Amen.
