O God of love, we pray thee
to give us love:
Love in our thinking,
Love in our speaking,
Love in our doing,
and love in the hidden places of our souls;

O God of love, we pray thee
to give us love:
Love of our neighbours near and far;
Love of friends, old and new;
Love of those whom
we find it hard to bear,
and love of those
who find it hard to bear with us;
Love of those with whom we work,
and love of those
with whom we take our ease;
Love in joy,
Love in sorrow;
Love in life,
and love in death;
That so at length
we may be worthy to dwell with thee,
who art eternal love.

O God of love, we pray thee
to give us love.
