Let us pray.
O God, who every year giv'st a fresh birth to the devotions of thy Church, by the welcom Festival of our Saviour's Nativity! Grant us, we beseech Thee, with such tender
affections to entertain this first humble Rising of the Sun of righteousnes to us, as may better dis∣pose and stronglier engage us to follow Him through the whole painful course which like a Giant he rejoyc't to run, inlightening the world with thy truth, and inflaming it with thy love; til in the end we arrive at his eternal Rest: through the same our Lord Jesus Christ thy Son, who with Thee and the H. Ghost lives and reigns one God world without end. Amen.
