℣. O Lord, hear my prayer.
℟. And let my cry come unto thee.
Let us pray.
O God, who year by year dost gladden us by the solemn feast day of thy Blessed Martyr and Bishop Eusebius, mercifully grant that we who keep his birthday, may ever feel the joyful effects of his protection.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
℟. Amen.
