A Prayer For The South.
O God our Father,
Look down from heaven and have pity on the South,
Our country without place or name;
Forget not, O Father, your covenant with our fathers,
But renew your mercy to us their children,
And so turn the hearts of the people toward you,
That with repentance and joy they would once again
Love and serve you alone;
And grant that,
Having taught us to govern ourselves
By your Spirit and your law,
You would be graciously pleased to grant us,
A name and place among the nations of the earth,
That we might lead them in serving you,
Through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Ghost,
ever one God, world without end, Amen.
