...that so, among the sundry and manifold changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found...

From the Daily Offices for the Week of the Fifth Sunday in Lent in the Book of Divine Worship.
Collect for the Fifth Sunday in Lent.
O Almighty God, who alone canst order the unruly wills and affections of sinful men: Grant unto thy people that they may love the thing which thou commandest, and desire that which thou dost promise; that so, among the sundry and manifold changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
