Vouchsafe, O LORD, everlasting blessedness unto those that fear Thy Name, (Lu.) that our life and conduct may be such as to win high reward in heaven for good fruits. (1.)

O GOD,* Who by the voice of the Prophet declaredst them blessed that fear Thee, grant us such well-pleasing reverence of Thy fear, that we may walk henceforth in Thy ways. Let our labour be, under Thy guidance, pleasing in Thy sight, and let its fruit be most sweet unto Thee in the day of reward, and let the labour itself be so done heartily in love, that the produce thereof may be stored up in blessedness. (11.)

Bless us, (D. C.) O LORD, who fear Thee, and make us to walk continually in Thy ways, bless us with Thy holy benediction, that we may behold the everlasting joys of Jerusalem. (1.)
