Eternal God, who tarriest oft beyond the time we hope for, but not beyond the time appointed by thee; from whom cometh in due season the truth that cannot lie, the counsel that cannot fail: Make us faithful to stand upon our watchtower, and to wait for what thou wilt say to us; that by our faith we may live, and at the last behold thy righteousness prevail; to the glory of thy Name.
–Daily Prayer, Eric Milner-White and G. W. Briggs, eds. (London: Penguin Books 1959 edition of the 1941 original)
