A Prayer for Church Musicians and Artists From
the Book of Common Prayer
O God, whom saints and angels delight to worship in heaven: be ever present with
your servants who seek through art and music to perfect the praises offered by your people on earth; and grant to them even
now glimpses of your beauty, and make them worthy at length to behold it unveiled for evermore; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
