 and that we show forth thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up our selves to thy service, and by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen.

A Prayer of St. Chrysostom

Almighty God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplication unto thee; and  hast promised through thy well&#8209;beloved Son that when two  or three are gathered together in his Name thou wilt be in the  midst of them:  Fulfill now, O Lord, the desires and petitions  of thy servants as may be best for us; granting us in this  world knowledge of thy truth, and in the world to come life  everlasting. Amen.

Let us bless the Lord. Thanks be to God.

The Officiant may then conclude with one of the following

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. ''Amen. ''
