Grant unto us, O God, that in all time of our testing we may know thy presence and obey thy will; that, following the example of thy servant John Mason Neale, we may with integrity and courage accomplish what thou givest us to do, and endure what thou givest us to bear; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Today the Church commemorates John Mason Neale, Priest and Hymn Writer. He is perhaps best known for his translations of Latin hymns, which include 'O come, O come, Emmanuel', 'Creator of the Stars of Night', 'Of the Father's Love Begottten' and 'Good King Wenceslas'.
