Almighty and everlasting God, who didst will to restore all things in thy well beloved Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords: mercifully grant that all the kindreds of the earth, set free from the calamity of sin, may be brought under his most gracious dominion. Who with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, liveth and reigneth God, world without end.
