From
the Book of Common Prayer, A Prayer for Church Musicians and Artists
O God, whom saints and angels delight to
worship in heaven: be ever present with your servants who seek through art and music to perfect the praises offered by your
people on earth; and grant to them even now glimpses of your beauty, and make them worthy at length to behold it unveiled
for evermore; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
