| _For the Conversion of the Jews_.
|
| [_A prayer of Bishop Wilson_.]
|
| O God, the God of Abraham, look upon thine everlasting covenant,
| and cause the captivity of Judah and Israel to return. They are
| thy people; O be thou their Saviour, that all who love Jerusalem
| and mourn for her may rejoice with her; for Jesus Christ's sake,
| their Saviour and ours. _Amen_.
|
| _For the Conversion of Mohammedans, and all who know not Christ_.
|
| Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who in thy goodness hast caused
| the light of the Gospel to shine in our land; Extend thy mercy,
| we beseech thee, to the nations of the world that still walk in
| darkness. Enlighten the Moslems with the knowledge of thy truth;
| and grant that the Gospel of salvation may be made known in all
| lands, that the heart of the peoples may be turned unto thee,
| through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
|
| _For the Conversion of the Heathen_.
|
| O God, who hast made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell
| on all the face of the earth, and didst send thy blessed Son to
| preach peace to them that are far off and to them that are nigh:
| Grant that the people who sit in darkness and the shadow of death
| may feel after thee and find thee; and hasten, O Lord, the
| fulfilment of thy promise to pour out thy Spirit upon all flesh,
| through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
|
| O God of all the nations of the earth, remember the multitudes
| of the heathen, who, though created in thine image, are ignorant
| of thy love, and, according to the propitiation of thy Son Jesus
| Christ, grant that by the prayers and labours of thy holy Church
| they may be delivered from all superstition and unbelief, and
| brought to worship thee; through him whom thou hast sent to be
| our Salvation, the Resurrection and the Life of all the faithful,
| the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
|
| _For Missionaries in Distant Lands_.
|
| O God our Saviour, who willest that all men should be saved and
| come to the knowledge of the truth; Prosper, we pray thee, our
| brethren who labour in distant lands, [especially those for whom
| our prayers are desired]. Protect them in all perils by land and
| sea; support them in loneliness and in the hour of trial; give
| them grace to bear faithful witness unto thee; and endue them with
| burning zeal and love, tha
