The Guild of Clerical Ringers Prayer

(Written for the Guild by John Nixon R.I.P. 2017)

Almighty God, whose glory fills the skies
And whose steadfast love fills all creation:
Bless we pray you the members of our Guild,
That by our works in belfry, sanctuary, city, town and village,
your love may be known amongst all people,
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
One God now and forever. Amen.
