Excita, quaesimus, Domine, potentiam tuam, et veni: ut ab imminentibus peccatorum nostorum periculis, te mereamur protegente eripi, te liberante salvari: Qui vivis et regnas cum Deo Pater in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.
Sitr up Thy power, we beseech Thee, O Lord, and come: that from the threatening dangers of our sins we may deserve to be rescued by Thy protection, and to be saved by Thy deliverance: Who livest and reignest with God the Father in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen. (Collect for the First Sunday of Advent)
