Grant, Almighty God, that since Thou hast been pleased to choose us from our infancy to be Thy people, and that when we were wretched apostates Thou hast also been pleased to restore us to the right way by stretching forth Thy hand to lead us –
O grant that we may not be deaf nor idle; but may it please Thee, by Thy Spirit, especially to correct all obstinacy in our hearts so that we may render ourselves obedient and submissive to Thee.
And as Thou hast not ceased continually to call us, may we in our turn respond to Thee, and not only by our tongues but also by our works, pursue the course Thou hast appointed for us, until we reach the goal and enjoy that blessed state of glory Thou hast prepared for us in heaven, through Christ our Lord. Amen
[John Calvin: Obedient and Submissive]
