Collects
Mason

Blessed Lord
who caused all holy Scriptures
to be written for our learning
help us so to hear them
to read, mark. Learn and inwardly digest them
that, through patience, and the comfort
of your holy word,
we may embrace and for ever hold fast
the hope of everlasting life
which you have given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ

Hymn
O heiland open wijd de poort
