O Lord, support us all the day long of this troublous life until the shadows lengthen, the evening comes and the busy world is hushed, the fever of life is over and our work done. Then Lord in Thy mercy grant us safe lodg- ings, a holy rest and peace at the last through Jesus Christ our Lord.

This altar was beautified to the Glory of God and in grateful memory of the men of Mere who gave their lives in the Great War of 1914-1918
