A PRAYER IN TIME OF EARTHQUAKE

O God, who hast established the earth upon firm foundations,

graciously receive the prayers of Thy people:

and, having utterly removed the dangers of the shaken earth,

turn the terrors of Thy divine wrath

into the means of the salvation of mankind;

that they who are of the earth, and unto earth shall return,

may rejoice to find themselves citizens of heaven

by means of a holy life.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
