O Lord, keep us from vain
strife or words; grant to us a constant profession of the
truth. Preserve us in the
faith, true faith and
undefiled, that ever we may hold
fast that which we
professed when we were baptized unto, and in the name
of, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—that we may have thee for our Father, that in thy Son we may abide, and in the fellowship
of the Holy Spirit: through the same Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.
- Hilary of Poitiers
