A Collect for Martin Luther Pastor and Reformer, 1546 O GOD, OUR REFUGE AND OUR STRENGTH, who raised up thy servant Martin Luther to reform and renew thy church in the light of thy word: Defend and purify the church in our own day and grant that, through faith, we may boldly proclaim the riches of thy grace, which thou hast made known in Jesus Christ our Savior, who with thee and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, One God, Now and Forever, Indeed. AMEN
