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.
