O God …

O God,

who before the passion of your only ­begotten Son
revealed his glory upon the holy mountain:

Grant to us that we,
beholding by faith the light of his countenance,
may be strengthened to bear our cross,
and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory;

through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God,

for ever and ever.
Amen. BCP
