The Brotherhood Prayer Book: Hymn for Transfiguration
An image of that heavenly light,
The goal the Church keeps ay in sight,
Christ on the holy mount displays
Where He outshines the sun’s bright rays.
Let every age proclaimer be
How, on this day, the chosen three
With Moses and Elias heard
The Lord speak many a gracious word.
As witnesses to grace are nigh
Those twain, the Law and Prophecy;
And to the Son, from out the cloud,
The Father’s record thunders loud.
With garments whiter than the snows,
And shining face, Lord Jesus shows
What glory for those saints shall be
Who joy in God with piety.
The vision and the mystery
Make faithful hearts beat quick and high,
So on this solemn day of days
The cry goes up of prayer and praise.
O God the Father, God the Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
Vouchsafe to bring us, by Thy grace,
To see Thy glory face to face. Amen.

Seed-Grains of Prayer: Christmas
“Almighty God, we bless Thee that Thou hast had compassion upon our miserable estate, and for us hast given Thine only begotten Son to become Man. We beseech Thee, graciously enlighten our hearts rightly to apprehend this comfort; to enjoy the same in every need and temptation; to praise Thee with all angels; and let us have peace that we may heartily rejoice, and so overcome all anguish and sorrow of this world. Amen.”

Seed-Grains of Prayer: Wednesday Evening Prayer
“Almighty and most gracious God, I give thanks unto Thee that Thou hast this day so graciously guarded me from all evil and danger in body and soul. By Thy divine grace, I beseech Thee, cover over all sins I have this day committed in thought or word, and especially my transgressions against Thee and Thy holy law, and leave not me, Thy creature, whom Thou hast purchased at so great a price with the blood of Thy Son, Jesus Christ, but shield me this night under the wings of Thy grace against the evil one who cometh abroad like a roaring lion to devour me. Cause me to rest and sleep in the shadow of Thy mercy, that the evil one come not nigh or be able to harm me. Amen.”
