Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is…

Almighty and everlasting God,

Whose will it is to restore all things in your well¯beloved Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords:

Mercifully grant that the peoples of the earth,

divided and enslaved by sin,

may be freed and brought together under his most gracious rule;

Who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Amen.
