Seasonal & Liturgical Prayers
Collect for Advent Sunday
Cranmer's own composition for the first Sunday of Advent, repeated every day of Advent in the Book of Common Prayer.
Almighty God,
give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness,
and put upon us the armour of light,
now in the time of this mortal life,
in which thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility;
that in the last day,
when he shall come again in his glorious majesty
to judge both the quick and the dead,
we may rise to the life immortal;
through him who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost,
now and ever. Amen.
Book of Common Prayer, Advent Sunday
