Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:42

πολλῶν οὖν καὶ μεγάλων καὶ ἐνδόξων μετειληφότες πράξεων ἐπαναδράμωμεν ἐπὶ τὸν ἐξ ἀρχῆς παραδεδομένον ἡμῖν τῆς εἰρήνης σκοπόν, καὶ ἀτενίσωμεν εἰς τὸν πατέρα καὶ κτίστην τοῦ σύμπαντος κόσμου καὶ ταῖς μεγαλοπρεπέσι καὶ ὑπερβαλλούσαις αὐτοῦ δωρεαῖς τῆς εἰρήνης εὐεργεσίαις τε κολληθῶμεν.

English · Claude translation

Having therefore shared in many great and glorious deeds, let us hasten back to the goal of peace handed down to us from the beginning, and let us fix our eyes on the Father and Creator of the whole world, and cling to his magnificent and surpassing gifts and benefits of peace.
