So become imitators of God
as beloved children,
that is walk in love,
as also Jesus loved us,
and handed himself over for us
as an offering and sacrifice,
to God
for a fragrant aroma.
O Lord Jesus Christ,
stay beside me to defend me,
within me to guide me,
before me to lead me,
and above me to bless me,
that with you and in you,
I may live, and move and have my being,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
