Collect for the fourth Sunday in Advent

Lord, come among us, we pray, with your power and help us with your great
might so that, although we are hindered by our sins and wickedness from
running the race set before us, your bountiful grace and mercy may speedily
help and deliver us through the work of your Son our Lord to whom with you
and the Holy Spirit be honour and glory now and forever. Amen. (An English Prayer Book, Church Society, 1994)
