O Lord our Governor, whose glory is in all the world: We commend this nation to your merciful care, that, being guided by your Providence, we may dwell secure in your peace. Grant to the President of the Republic of China, the Governor of this country, and to all in authority, wisdom and strength to know and to do your will. Fill them with the love of truth and righteousness, and make them ever mindful of their calling to serve this people in your fear; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.

治理我們的主啊！祢的榮耀充滿世界：我們將這個國家交付在祢慈悲的眷顧之下，這樣，我們得蒙祢的恩佑引領，就能在祢所賜的祥和中安然居住。求祢賞賜智慧和力量，給中華民國總統和所有執政掌權的人，使他們認識並遵行祢的旨意，心中充滿對真理與公義的熱愛。又使他們永遠記得自己的使命，以敬畏祢的心為民服務；這都是靠著我們的主耶穌基督，聖子和聖父、聖靈，一同永生，一同掌權，惟一上帝，永世無盡。阿們。
