The collect for the 25th Sunday after Trinity, from Garth's "Thirty collects", 1794.
Garth was a 'cellist and concert promoter based in Durham (the foreword to Thirty Collects is addressed from Bishop Auckland). His settings of the collects were not intended for liturgical use (the collect of the day was invariably read) but they were intended for "those who wish to have something in the vocal way easy and proper for their Sunday evenings' recreation".
In popular tradition this collect (which should be used on the last Sunday before Advent when not the same as the 25th after Trinity) signals "Stir up Sunday", an exhortation to prepare the year's Christmas sweetmeats, both cake and mincemeat.

Lyrics: Book of Common Prayer, 1662
Stir up, we beseech thee, O Lord, the wills of thy faithful people, that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works, may of thee be plenteously rewarded, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
