Then may be said any other Collects and after that this COLLECT FOR PEACE. A Versicle may be used with the Collect.

O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed; Give unto Thy servants that peace which the world cannot give; that our hearts may be set to obey Thy commandments, and also that by Thee, we being defended from the fear of our enemies, may pass our time in rest and quietness; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Savior.

| The service may end with the Benedicamus; or a Closing Hymn may be sung, after which may be said:

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all.
