O Lord Jesus Christ, who didst gloriously send into heaven after thy resurrection, grant us the help of thy grace, that as thou has promised to dwell with us always on earth, so in heart and mind we may never cease to dwell with thee in heaven; where with the Father and the Holy Spirit thou livest and reignest, one God, world without end. Amen.
