O loving God, who orderest all things by thine unerring wisdom and unbounded love: Grant us in all things to see thy hand; that, following the example and teaching of thy servant Charles Simeon, we may walk with Christ in all simplicity, and serve thee with a quiet and contented mind; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Charles Simeon was the only evangelical clergyman in Cambridge for some time. He served here at Trinity and faced great opposition. Later he would become provost at King’s College. When he died, all of Cambridge shut down for his funeral. pic.twitter.com/ZiWTl5AM7P
