Prosper the labors of all churches bearing the name of Christ

Prosper the labors of all churches bearing the name of Christ and striving to further righteousness and faith in Him. Help us to place thy truth above our conception of it and joyfully to recognize the presence of thy Holy Spirit wherever he may choose to dwell among men. Teach us wherein we are sectarian in our intentions and give us grace humbly to confess our fault . . . that we may become worthy and competent to bind up in the church the wounds of which we are guilty, and hasten the day when there shall be one fold under one Shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Charles Henry Brent (1862-1929)
