Collect of The Fifth Sunday
before Advent
Blessed Lord,
who caused all holy Scriptures
to be written for our learning:
help us so to hear them,
to read, mark, learn and inwardly
digest them
that, through patience, and the
comfort of your holy word,
we may embrace and for ever hold
fast
the blessed hope of everlasting life,
which you have given us in our
Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen
