Everlasting
God, to whom all hidden things are revealed, who sent into the world
Thine Only Begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, conceived through the
Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, that He might take on Him the
punishment of our sins, and by His resurrection snatch us from the
gates of hell, grant to our hearts such steadfastness of faith that
confessing Christ, Thy Son, we may not perish but may be joined to
Him in the confession of Thy Holy Name. Amen.
