Our God, we pray that we may so know you and love you that we may rejoice
in you. And when we may not do so fully in this life, give us your grace, and
lead us steadily on to the day when we come to fullness of life.

18. Meanwhile let our minds meditate on your eternal goodness, let our tongues speak of it, let our hearts live it, let our mouths speak it, let our souls hunger for it, and our whole being desire it, until we enter into your joy.

19. In the name of
Jesus, who is our Joy,
we pray.
Amen.

in its heat consuming; And let Your glorious light Shine ever on my sight, And clothe me round,
the while my path illuming.
