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 Jesus 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, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
O Lord, open thou our lips.
And our mouth shall show forth thy praise.
O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.
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.
Praise ye the Lord.
The Lord's Name be praised.
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. |
1 | When I was in trouble I called upon the Lord, * and he heard me. |
2 | Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, * and from a deceitful tongue. |
3 | What reward shall be given or done unto thee, thou false tongue? * even mighty and sharp arrows, with hot burning coals. |
4 | Woe is me, that I am constrained to dwell with Mesech, * and to have my habitation among the tents of Kedar. |
5 | My soul hath long dwelt among them * that are enemies unto peace. |
6 | I labour for peace, but when I speak unto them thereof, * they make them ready to battle. |
† | 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 | I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills; * from whence cometh my help. |
2 | My help cometh even from the Lord, * who hath made heaven and earth. |
3 | He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; * and he that keepeth thee will not sleep. |
4 | Behold, he that keepeth Israel * shall neither slumber nor sleep. |
5 | The Lord himself is thy keeper; * the Lord is thy defence upon thy right hand; |
6 | So that the sun shall not burn thee by day, * neither the moon by night. |
7 | The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil; * yea, it is even he that shall keep thy soul. |
8 | The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in, * from this time forth for evermore. |
† | 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 | I was glad when they said unto me, * We will go into the house of the Lord. |
2 | Our feet shall stand in thy gates, * O Jerusalem. |
3 | Jerusalem is built as a city * that is at unity in itself. |
4 | For thither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord, * to testify unto Israel, to give thanks unto the Name of the Lord. |
5 | For there is the seat of judgement, * even the seat of the house of David. |
6 | O pray for the peace of Jerusalem; * they shall prosper that love thee. |
7 | Peace be within thy walls, * and plenteousness within thy palaces. |
8 | For my brethren and companions' sakes, * I will wish thee prosperity. |
9 | Yea, because of the house of the Lord our God, * I will seek to do thee good. |
† | 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 | Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, * O thou that dwellest in the heavens. |
2 | Behold, even as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, * even so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until he have mercy upon us. |
3 | Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us; * for we are utterly despised. |
4 | Our soul is filled with the scornful reproof of the wealthy, * and with the despitefulness of the proud. |
† | 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 | If the Lord himself had not been on our side, now may Israel say; * if the Lord himself had not been on our side, when men rose up against us; |
2 | They had swallowed us up quick, * when they were so wrathfully displeased at us. |
3 | Yea, the waters had drowned us, * and the stream had gone over our soul. |
4 | The deep waters of the proud * had gone even over our soul. |
5 | But praised be the Lord, * who hath not given us over for a prey unto their teeth. |
6 | Our soul is escaped even as a bird out of the snare of the fowler; * the snare is broken, and we are delivered. |
7 | Our help standeth in the Name of the Lord, * who hath made heaven and earth. |
† | 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 | They that put their trust in the Lord shall be even as the mount Sion, * which may not be removed, but standeth fast for ever. |
2 | The hills stand about Jerusalem; * even so standeth the Lord round about his people, from this time forth for evermore. |
3 | For the rod of the ungodly cometh not into the lot of the righteous; * lest the righteous put their hand unto wickedness. |
4 | Do well, O Lord, * unto those that are good and true of heart. |
5 | As for such as turn back unto their own wickedness, * the Lord shall lead them forth with the evil doers; but peace shall be upon Israel. |
† | 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 | Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men: |
2 | And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown: |
3 | And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the Lord? |
4 | And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face: |
5 | And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the Lord will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him. |
6 | This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company; |
7 | And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the Lord to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the Lord doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi. |
8 | And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi: |
9 | Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them? |
10 | And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also? |
11 | For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the Lord: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him? |
12 | And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up: |
13 | Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us? |
14 | Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up. |
15 | And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the Lord, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them. |
16 | And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the Lord, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow: |
17 | And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the Lord every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer. |
18 | And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron. |
19 | And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all the congregation. |
20 | And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, |
21 | Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. |
22 | And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation? |
23 | And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, |
24 | Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. |
25 | And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him. |
26 | And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins. |
27 | So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children. |
28 | And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the Lord hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind. |
29 | If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the Lord hath not sent me. |
30 | But if the Lord make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the Lord. |
31 | And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them: |
32 | And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. |
33 | They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation. |
34 | And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also. |
35 | And there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense. |
36 | And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, |
37 | Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed. |
38 | The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the Lord, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel. |
39 | And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar: |
40 | To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the Lord; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the Lord said to him by the hand of Moses. |
41 | But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the Lord. |
42 | And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared. |
43 | And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation. |
44 | And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, |
45 | Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces. |
46 | And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the Lord; the plague is begun. |
47 | And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people. |
48 | And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed. |
49 | Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah. |
50 | And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed. |
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,

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.

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 after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul. |
2 | And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence, |
3 | We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness. |
4 | Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words. |
5 | For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes: |
6 | Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law. |
7 | But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands, |
8 | Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him. |
9 | And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so. |
10 | Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself: |
11 | Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship. |
12 | And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city: |
13 | Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me. |
14 | But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: |
15 | And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. |
16 | And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. |
17 | Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings. |
18 | Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult. |
19 | Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me. |
20 | Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council, |
21 | Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day. |
22 | And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter. |
23 | And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him. |
24 | And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. |
25 | And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. |
26 | He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him. |
27 | But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound. |
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.

O Lord, show thy mercy upon us;
And grant us thy salvation.
O Lord, save the State;
And mercifully hear us, when we call upon thee.
Endue thy Ministers with righteousness;
And make thy chosen people joyful.
O Lord, save thy people;
And bless thine inheritance.
Give peace in our time, O Lord;
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 Father, who hast given thine only Son to die for our sins, and to rise again for our justification; Grant us so to put away the leaven of malice and wickedness, that we may alway serve thee in pureness of living and truth, through the merits of the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 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 isdoings, being ordered by thy governance, may be righteous in thy sight, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O God the Father of heaven: have mercy upon us miserable sinners.

O holy, blessed, and glorious Trinity, three Persons, and one God: have mercy upon us miserable sinners.
O holy, blessed, and glorious Trinity, three Persons, and one God: have mercy upon us miserable sinners.
Remember not, Lord, our offences, nor the offences of our forefathers; neither take thou vengeance of our sins: spare us, good Lord, spare thy people, whom thou hast redeemed with thy most precious blood, and be not angry with us for ever.
Spare us, good Lord.

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. Amen.
O Lord, deal not with us after our sins:
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, Father of all mercies, we thine unworthy servants do give thee most humble and hearty thanks for all thy goodness and loving-kindness to us, and to all men: We bless thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all, for thine inestimable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And we beseech thee, give us that due sense of all thy mercies, that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful; and that we may show forth thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives; by giving up ourselves to thy service, and by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our days, through Jesus Christ our Lord; to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without end. 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.
