The College Evening Prayer
O God our King, whose glory is always to be praised of thy saints, and yet is not able to be expressed: thou, O Lord, art in the midst of us sinners, and thy holy name is named upon us; forsake us not, O God, but at the last day vouchsafe to set us among thine holy and elect, O King, blessed for ever. Amen.
