A Prayer for God’s Favor
Let us pray to God the Father, God the Son,
And to God the Holy Spirit,
Whose infinite greatness
Enfolds the whole world,
In persons three and one,
In essence simple and triune,
Suspending the earth above the waters,
Hanging the upper air with stars,
That he may be favorable to sinners
Who righteously justifies all who err,
Who ever-living lives.
May God be blessed for ages. Amen.
Moucan, Welsh, eighth century
