Minnesota's leading the Detroit Lions 22-19 in the 4th quarter. Wasn't there some prayer in the early middle ages about "save us from the Vikings"? I seem to recall hearing about it in church as a child. If anyone knows where to find the text of a prayer like that, please let me know. Thanks. :)

"From the fury of the Northmen, deliver us, O Lord"
or
"From the wrath of the vikings, deliver us, O Lord"

Thank you. It seemed longer when I was a kid :). Where might this have fit in the liturgy?

The Prayers of the People.

Especially on a Sunday when the response is, "Graciously hear our prayer, o Lord." ;)
