For our enemies. : O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, who hast commanded us to pray for our enemies; have mercy, we beseech thee, upon our brethren who have risen in arms against the constituted authorities of the land. Take from them all pride, prejudice and error, and forgive their sins. Lead them to lay down the weapons of rebellion; and vouchsafe, we entreat thee, a just and abiding peace. Move, by thy Holy Spirit, upon all hearts; assuage unholy passions, and bring the people of this land to be of one mind, for the sake of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. It must be so: else wherefore falls the Saviour's voice unheard, while from his pardoning cross he calls, "O spare as I have spared?"
