Dearly beloved brethren, the Scripture moveth us in sundry places to acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness; and that we should not dissemble nor cloak them before the face of Almighty God our heavenly Father; but confess them with an humble, lowly, penitent, and obedient heart; to the end that we may obtain forgiveness of the same, by his infinite goodness and mercy. And although we ought at all times humbly to acknowledge our sins before God; yet ought we most chiefly so to do, when we assemble and meet together, to render thanks for the great benefits that we have received at his hands, to set forth his most worthy praise, to hear his most holy Word, and to ask those things which are requisite and necessary as well for the body as the soul. Wherefore I pray and beseech you, as many as are here present, to accompany me with a pure heart, and humble voice, unto the throne of the heavenly grace, saying after me:
Almighty and most merciful Father, We have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep: We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts: We have offended against thy holy laws: We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things which we ought not to have done; And there is no health in us. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders: Spare thou themthose, O God, whichwho confess their faults: Restore thou them thatthose who are penitent; According to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesu our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, To the glory of thy holy Name. Amen.
Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who desireth not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his wickedness and live; and hath given power and commandment to his Ministers, to declare and pronounce to his people, being penitent, the absolution and remission of their sins: He pardoneth and absolveth all them thatthose who truly repent, and unfeignedly believe his holy Gospel. Wherefore let us beseech him to grant us true repentance, and his Holy Spirit; that those things may please him which we do at this present, and that the rest of our life hereafter may be pure and holy; so that at the last we may come to his eternal joy, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Father, whichwho art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done inon earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them thatthose who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
1 | O come, let us sing unto the Lord; * let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation. |
2 | Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, * and shew ourselves glad in him with psalms. |
3 | For the Lord is a great God, * and a great King above all gods. |
4 | In his hand are all the corners of the earth, * and the strength of the hills is his also. |
5 | The sea is his, and he made it; * and his hands prepared the dry land. |
6 | O come, let us worship and fall down, * and kneel before the Lord our Maker. |
7 | For he is the Lord our God; * and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. |
8 | Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts: * as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness; |
9 | When your fathers tempted me, * proved me, and saw my works. |
10 | Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, * It is a people that do err in their hearts, for they have not known my ways; |
11 | Unto whom I sware in my wrath, * that they should not enter into my rest. |
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen. |
105 | Thy word is a lantern unto my feet, * and a light unto my paths. |
106 | I have sworn, and am stedfastly purposed, * to keep thy righteous judgements. |
107 | I am troubled above measure: * quicken me, O Lord, according to thy word. |
108 | Let the free-will offerings of my mouth please thee, O Lord; * and teach me thy judgements. |
109 | My soul is alway in my hand; * yet do I not forget thy law. |
110 | The ungodly have laid a snare for me; * but yet I swerved not from thy commandments. |
111 | Thy testimonies have I claimed as mine heritage for ever; * and why? they are the very joy of my heart. |
112 | I have applied my heart to fulfil thy statutes alway, * even unto the end. |
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen. |
113 | I hate them that imagine evil things; * but thy law do I love. |
114 | Thou art my defence and shield; * and my trust is in thy word. |
115 | Away from me, ye wicked; * I will keep the commandments of my God. |
116 | O stablish me according to thy word, that I may live; * and let me not be disappointed of my hope. |
117 | Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe; * yea, my delight shall be ever in thy statutes. |
118 | Thou hast trodden down all them that depart from thy statutes; * for they imagine but deceit. |
119 | Thou puttest away all the ungodly of the earth like dross; * therefore I love thy testimonies. |
120 | My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; * and I am afraid of thy judgements. |
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen. |
121 | I deal with the thing that is lawful and right; * O give me not over unto mine oppressors. |
122 | Make thou thy servant to delight in that which is good, * that the proud do me no wrong. |
123 | Mine eyes are wasted away with looking for thy health, * and for the word of thy righteousness. |
124 | O deal with thy servant according unto thy loving mercy, * and teach me thy statutes. |
125 | I am thy servant, O grant me understanding: * that I may know thy testimonies. |
126 | It is time for thee, Lord, to lay to thine hand; * for they have destroyed thy law. |
127 | For I love thy commandments * above gold and precious stone. |
128 | Therefore hold I straight all thy commandments; * and all false ways I utterly abhor. |
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen. |
129 | Thy testimonies are wonderful; * therefore doth my soul keep them. |
130 | When thy word goeth forth, * it giveth light and understanding unto the simple. |
131 | I opened my mouth, and drew in my breath; * for my delight was in thy commandments. |
132 | O look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, * as thou usest to do unto those that love thy Name. |
133 | Order my steps in thy word; * and so shall no wickedness have dominion over me. |
134 | O deliver me from the wrongful dealings of men; * and so shall I keep thy commandments. |
135 | Shew the light of thy countenance upon thy servant, * and teach me thy statutes. |
136 | Mine eyes gush out with water, * because men keep not thy law. |
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen. |
137 | Righteous art thou, O Lord; * and true is thy judgement. |
138 | The testimonies that thou hast commanded * are exceeding righteous and true. |
139 | My zeal hath even consumed me; * because mine enemies have forgotten thy words. |
140 | Thy word is tried to the uttermost, * and thy servant loveth it. |
141 | I am small, and of no reputation; * yet do I not forget thy commandments. |
142 | Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, * and thy law is the truth. |
143 | Trouble and heaviness have taken hold upon me; * yet is my delight in thy commandments. |
144 | The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: * O grant me understanding, and I shall live. |
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen. |
1 | And David spake unto the Lord the words of this song in the day that the Lord had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul: |
2 | And he said, The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; |
3 | The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. |
4 | I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. |
5 | When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid; |
6 | The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me; |
7 | In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears. |
8 | Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth. |
9 | There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. |
10 | He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet. |
11 | And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind. |
12 | And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies. |
13 | Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled. |
14 | The Lord thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice. |
15 | And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them. |
16 | And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the Lord, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils. |
17 | He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters; |
18 | He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me. |
19 | They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay. |
20 | He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me. |
21 | The Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me. |
22 | For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not wickedly departed from my God. |
23 | For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them. |
24 | I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity. |
25 | Therefore the Lord hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight. |
26 | With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright. |
27 | With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury. |
28 | And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down. |
29 | For thou art my lamp, O Lord: and the Lord will lighten my darkness. |
30 | For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall. |
31 | As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. |
32 | For who is God, save the Lord? and who is a rock, save our God? |
33 | God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect. |
34 | He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places. |
35 | He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. |
36 | Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great. |
37 | Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip. |
38 | I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them. |
39 | And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet. |
40 | For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me. |
41 | Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me. |
42 | They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the Lord, but he answered them not. |
43 | Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad. |
44 | Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me. |
45 | Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me. |
46 | Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places. |
47 | The Lord liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation. |
48 | It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me, |
49 | And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. |
50 | Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name. |
51 | He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore. |
We praise thee, O God; * we acknowledge thee to be the Lord. | |
All the earth doth worship thee, * the Father everlasting. | |
To thee all Angels cry aloud; * the Heavens, and all the powers therein. | |
To thee Cherubin and Seraphin * continually do cry, | |
Holy, Holy, Holy, * Lord God of Sabaoth; | |
Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty * of thy glory. | |
The glorious company of the Apostles * praise thee. | |
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets * praise thee. | |
The noble army of Martyrs * praise thee. | |
The holy Church throughout all the world * doth acknowledge thee; | |
The Father * of an infinite Majesty; | |
Thine honourable, true, * and only Son; | |
Also the Holy Ghost * the Comforter, | |
Thou art the King of Glory, * O Christ; | |
Thou art the everlasting Son * of the Father. | |
When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man, * thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb. | |
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, * thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers. | |
Thou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father. | |
We believe that thou shalt come * to be our Judge. | |
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, * whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood. | |
Make them to be numbered with thy saints, * in glory everlasting. | |
O Lord, save thy people, * and bless thine heritage. | |
Govern them * and lift them up for ever. | |
Day by day * we magnify thee; | |
And we worship thy Name * ever, world without end. | |
Vouchsafe, O Lord, * to keep us this day without sin. | |
O Lord, have mercy upon us, * have mercy upon us. | |
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, * as our trust is in thee. | |
O Lord, in thee have I trusted; * let me never be confounded. |
1 | And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. |
2 | And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth. |
3 | Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law? |
4 | And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest? |
5 | Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. |
6 | But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question. |
7 | And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided. |
8 | For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both. |
9 | And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God. |
10 | And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle. |
11 | And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome. |
12 | And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. |
13 | And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy. |
14 | And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul. |
15 | Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him. |
16 | And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul. |
17 | Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him. |
18 | So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee. |
19 | Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me? |
20 | And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly. |
21 | But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee. |
22 | So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me. |
23 | And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cæsarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night; |
24 | And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor. |
25 | And he wrote a letter after this manner: |
26 | Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting. |
27 | This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman. |
28 | And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council: |
29 | Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds. |
30 | And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell. |
31 | Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris. |
32 | On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle: |
33 | Who, when they came to Cæsarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him. |
34 | And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia; |
35 | I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall. |
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; * for he hath visited and redeemed his people; | |
And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us, * in the house of his servant David; | |
As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets, * which have been since the world began; | |
That we should be saved from our enemies, * and from the hand of all that hate us: | |
To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers, * and to remember his holy covenant; | |
To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather Abraham, * that he would give us; | |
That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies * might serve him without fear; | |
In holiness and righteousness before him, * all the days of our life. | |
And thou, Child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest: * for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; | |
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people * for the remission of their sins, | |
Through the tender mercy of our God; * whereby the Day-spring from on high hath visited us; | |
To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, * and to guide our feet into the way of peace. | |
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen. |
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; The third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; The holy Catholic Church; The Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body; And the Life everlasting. Amen.
The Lord be with you:
And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Our Father, whichwho art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done inon earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

Because there is none other that fighteth for us, but only thou, O God.
O God, make clean our hearts within us;
And take not thy Holy Spirit from us.
Almighty God, who showest to them that bethose who are in error, the light of thy truth, to the intent that they may return into the way of righteousness; Grant unto all them thatthose who are admitted into the fellowship of Christ's religion, that they may eschew those things that are contrary to their profession, and follow all such things as are agreeable to the same, through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
O God, who art the author of peace, and lover of concord, in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life, whose service is perfect freedom; Defend us thy humble servants in all assaults of our enemies; that we surely trusting in thy defence, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O Lord our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day; Defend us in the same with thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger; but that all our doings may be ordered by thy governance, to do always that is righteous in thy sight, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O God the Father of heaven: have mercy upon us miserable sinners.

Neither reward us after our iniquities.
Let us pray.
O God, merciful Father, thatwho despisest not the sighing of a contrite heart, nor the desire of such as beare sorrowful; Mercifully assist our prayers that we make before thee in all our troubles and adversities, whensoever they oppress us; and graciously hear us, that those evils, which the craft and subtilty of the devil or man worketh against us, be brought to nought, and by the providence of thy goodness they may be dispersed; that we thy servants, being hurt by no persecutions, may evermore give thanks unto thee in thy holy Church, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
O Lord, arise, help us, and deliver us for thy Name's sake.
O God, we have heard with our ears, and our fathers have declared unto us, the noble works that thou didst in their days, and in the old time before them.
O Lord, arise, help us, and deliver us for thine Honour.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.
From our enemies defend us, O Christ.
Graciously look upon our afflictions.
Pitifully behold the sorrows of our hearts.
Mercifully forgive the sins of thy people.
Favourably with mercy hear our prayers.
O Son of David, have mercy upon us.
Both now and ever vouchsafe to hear us, O Christ.
Graciously hear us, O Christ; graciously hear us, O Lord Christ.
O Lord, let thy mercy be showed upon us;
As we do put our trust in thee.
Let us pray.
We humbly beseech thee, O Father, mercifully to look upon our infirmities; and for the glory of thy Name, turn from us all those evils that we most righteously have deserved; and grant, that in all our troubles we may put our whole trust and confidence in thy mercy, and evermore serve thee in holiness and pureness of living, to thy honour and glory, through our only Mediator and Advocate, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Most gracious God, we humbly beseech thee, as for this nation in general, so especially for the Legislature at this time assembled: That thou wouldest be pleased to direct and prosper all their consultations to the advancement of thy glory, the good of thy Church, the safety, honour, and welfare of thy people; that all things may be so ordered and settled by their endeavours, upon the best and surest foundations, that peace and happiness, truth and justice, religion and piety may be established among us for all generations. These and all other necessaries, for them, for us, and thy whole Church, we humbly beg in the Name and Mediation of Jesus Christ our most blessed Lord and Saviour. Amen.
Almighty God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplications unto thee; and dost promise that when two or three are gathered together in thy Name, thou wilt grant their requests; Fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of thy servants, as may be most expedient for them; granting us in this world knowledge of thy truth, and in the world to come life everlasting. Amen.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. Amen.
