Pour, (Lu.) O LORD, upon Thy Church the charity of brotherly love and peace amongst us, that sprinkled with the dew of spiritual anointing, we may rejoice in the grace of Thy blessing. (1.)

CHRIST the LORD,* Whose holy Name is as ointment poured out; grant, we beseech Thee, that the ointment of Thy head may be poured down by Thee, so as to descend on the beard of Thy people, and come to the very edge of the garment of this mortal life which they put on. (5.)

Bestow on us, (D. C.) O LORD, the gift of Thy grace, that we may dwell together in unity, joined in love, that so being of a sweet savour unto Thee, we may obtain Thy blessing and life for evermore. (1.)
