Lord, have mercy on us, &c.
Eternal Father! may thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Eternal Word! may thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,
Holy Spirit! may thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Adorable Trinity! may thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Will of God, which art sovereignly amiable,
Will of God, which art infinitely just,
Reign, &c.
Will of God, impenetrable in thy ordinances,
Will of God, sovereignly adorable,
Will of God, which art all-powerful,
Will of God, which arrangest all things with wisdom, weight, and measure,
Will of God, which wast the food of Christ on earth,
Reign over us forever.
Will of God, which the Angelic Spirits are ever occupied in executing,
Will of God, the only
standard of the merit and value of our actions,
Will of God, the joy and the life of our hearts,
Will of God, our strength, our shield, and our security,
Will of God, our consolation, our repose, and the term of our existence,
Will of God, delicious manna of the saints,
Reign over us forever.
Will of God, antidote against the miseries of life,
Will of God, shortest and most secure road to sanctity,
Will of God, our salvation and our happiness,
Reign, &c.
Let us pray.
O God! do in us, by us, with us, and all our concerns and interests, at all periods and in places, in time and eternity, whatever it shall please thee. We submit, for thy love, to all thou shalt ordain, most fervently praying “that thy will may be done by us on earth, as thy saints and angels fulfil it in heaven.” Amen.
