Governed by God; preserved by God.
Design for Worship:

Hebrews 9: 11-15
Gospel Lesson:
John 8: 46-59
Revised Collect:
Hear our pray, Almighty God, look on Your people in mercy; that Your great goodness may always govern and preserve us in both our body and soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

We beseech Thee, Almighty God, mercifully to look upon thy people; that by thy great goodness they may be governed and preserved evermore, both in body and soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
