Heavenly Father, who hast made us for thine own self, wherefore our hearts are restless until they rest in thee: Look with compassion upon the heartfelt desires of thy servants, and purify our disordered affections, that we may behold thine eternal glory in the face of Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
