Prayer of the Day for Church Musicians and Artists

Collect of the Day: Fanny Crosby, Hymnwriter, 1915
(For Church Musicians and Artists, BCP p. 819)

O God, whom saints and angels delight to worship in heaven: As you did with blessed Fanny Crosby, your poet and songbird, 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.
