A Prayer for the Lord’s Day, April 12 (based on Psalm 40)

O LORD, who by thy providence dost guide and govern all things, and who hast sent to us thy well-beloved Son, to deliver us from sin and death, by the oblation of his body on the Cross, grant that we may continually acknowledge this thy great and inestimable benefit, and that we may ever have our hearts and mouths open to proclaim thy praises among all men, by thy self-same Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior. AMEN.
