Enjoying the Redemption of Christ
Grant, Almighty God,
that as we now carry about us this mortal body, yes, and nourish
through sin a thousand deaths within us;
O grant that we may
ever by faith direct our eyes toward heaven, and to that incomprehensible
power, which is to be manifested at the last day by Jesus Christ
our Lord,
so that in the midst of death we may hope that You
will be our Redeemer, and enjoy that redemption which He completed
when He rose from the dead,
and not doubt that the fruit which He then brought forth by His Spirit will come also to us when
Christ Himself shall come to judge the world;
and may we thus
walk in the fear of Your name, that we may be really gathered among His members, to be made partakers of that glory which by His
death He has procured for us. Amen
