Commontide
Proper 8
O God, your never-failing providence sets in order all things both in heaven and on earth: Put away from us all hurtful things, and give us those things that are profitable for us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Its Latin original is over a thousand years old, traceable to an early-medieval sacramentary and carried through the Sarum Missal into every generation of the English prayer book.
