A Prayer by Lancelot Andrewes

. . . since it's his feast today:

Almighty, everlasting God, let our prayer be set forth in thy sight as incense, the lifting up of our hands as the evening sacrifice. Give us grace to behold thee, present in thy Word and Sacraments, and to recognize thee in the lives of those around us. Stir up in us the flame of that love which burned in the heart of thy Son as he bore his passion, and let it burn in us to eternal life and to the ages of ages. Amen.
