O God Almighty, who didst make the heaven in understanding, and didst
found the earth on its firmness, thou builder and creator of all; look
upon thy servant, _name_, who purposeth, in the might of thy strength,
to erect a house for habitation, and to set it up with a building. Do
thou stablish the same on a firm rock, and, according to thy divine
evangelical voice, so found it that neither wind nor water, nor
anything whatsoever may be able to injure it. Be pleased to bring it to
completion, and deliver them that desire to live therein from every snare
of the enemy.
For thine is the might, and thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the
glory, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, now and
ever, and to ages of ages. Amen.
