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 | We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us * what thou hast done in their time of old; |
2 | How thou hast driven out the heathen with thy hand, and planted them in; * how thou hast destroyed the nations and cast them out. |
3 | For they gat not the land in possession through their own sword, * neither was it their own arm that helped them; |
4 | But thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance: * because thou hadst a favour unto them. |
5 | Thou art my King, O God; * send help unto Jacob. |
6 | Through thee will we overthrow our enemies, * and in thy Name will we tread them under, that rise up against us. |
7 | For I will not trust in my bow, * it is not my sword that shall help me; |
8 | But it is thou that savest us from our enemies, * and puttest them to confusion that hate us. |
9 | We make our boast of God all day long, * and will praise thy Name for ever. |
10 | But now thou art far off, and puttest us to confusion, * and goest not forth with our armies. |
11 | Thou makest us to turn our backs upon our enemies, * so that they which hate us spoil our goods. |
12 | Thou lettest us be eaten up like sheep, * and hast scattered us among the heathen. |
13 | Thou sellest thy people for nought, * and takest no money for them. |
14 | Thou makest us to be rebuked of our neighbours, * to be laughed to scorn, and had in derision of them that are round about us. |
15 | Thou makest us to be a byword among the heathen, * and that the people shake their heads at us. |
16 | My confusion is daily before me, * and the shame of my face hath covered me; |
17 | For the voice of the slanderer and blasphemer, * for the enemy and avenger. |
18 | And though all this be come upon us, yet do we not forget thee, * nor behave ourselves frowardly in thy covenant. |
19 | Our heart is not turned back, * neither our steps gone out of thy way; |
20 | No, not when thou hast smitten us into the place of dragons, * and covered us with the shadow of death. |
21 | If we have forgotten the Name of our God, and holden up our hands to any strange god, * shall not God search it out? for he knoweth the very secrets of the heart. |
22 | For thy sake also are we killed all the day long, * and are counted as sheep appointed to be slain. |
23 | Up, Lord, why sleepest thou? * awake, and be not absent from us for ever. |
24 | Wherefore hidest thou thy face, * and forgettest our misery and trouble? |
25 | For our soul is brought low, even unto the dust; * our belly cleaveth unto the ground. |
26 | Arise, and help us, * and deliver us for thy mercy's sake. |
† | 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 | My heart is inditing of a good matter; * I speak of the things which I have made unto the king. |
2 | My tongue is the pen * of a ready writer. |
3 | Thou art fairer than the children of men; * full of grace are thy lips, because God hath blessed thee for ever. |
4 | Gird thee with thy sword upon thy thigh, O thou most Mighty, * according to thy worship and renown. |
5 | Good luck have thou with thine honour: * ride on, because of the word of truth, of meekness, and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. |
6 | Thy arrows are very sharp, and the people shall be subdued unto thee; * even in the midst among the King's enemies. |
7 | Thy seat, O God, endureth for ever; * the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. |
8 | Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; * wherefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. |
9 | All thy garments smell of myrrh, aloes, and cassia; * out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. |
10 | Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women; * upon thy right hand did stand the queen in a vesture of gold, wrought about with divers colours. |
11 | Hearken, O daughter, and consider, incline thine ear; * forget also thine own people, and thy father's house. |
12 | So shall the King have pleasure in thy beauty; * for he is thy Lord God, and worship thou him. |
13 | And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; * like as the rich also among the people shall make their supplication before thee. |
14 | The King's daughter is all glorious within; * her clothing is of wrought gold. |
15 | She shall be brought unto the King in raiment of needlework; * the virgins that be her fellows shall bear her company, and shall be brought unto thee. |
16 | With joy and gladness shall they be brought, * and shall enter into the King's palace. |
17 | Instead of thy fathers thou shalt have children, * whom thou mayest make princes in all lands. |
18 | I will remember thy Name from one generation to another; * therefore shall the people give thanks unto thee, world without 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. |
1 | God is our hope and strength, * a very present help in trouble. |
2 | Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be moved, * and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea; |
3 | Though the waters thereof rage and swell, * and though the mountains shake at the tempest of the same. |
4 | The rivers of the flood thereof shall make glad the city of God, * the holy place of the tabernacle of the most Highest. |
5 | God is in the midst of her, therefore shall she not be removed; * God shall help her, and that right early. |
6 | The heathen make much ado, and the kingdoms are moved; * but God hath shewed his voice, and the earth shall melt away. |
7 | The Lord of hosts is with us; * the God of Jacob is our refuge. |
8 | O come hither, and behold the works of the Lord, * what destruction he hath brought upon the earth. |
9 | He maketh wars to cease in all the world; * he breaketh the bow, and knappeth the spear in sunder, and burneth the chariots in the fire. |
10 | Be still then, and know that I am God: * I will be exalted among the heathen, and I will be exalted in the earth. |
11 | The Lord of hosts is with us; * the God of Jacob is our refuge. |
† | 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 | Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: |
2 | But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. |
3 | For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. |
4 | None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. |
5 | They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. |
6 | Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. |
7 | Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths. |
8 | The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace. |
9 | Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness. |
10 | We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men. |
11 | We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us. |
12 | For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; |
13 | In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. |
14 | And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. |
15 | Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. |
16 | And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him. |
17 | For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke. |
18 | According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence. |
19 | So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. |
20 | And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord. |
21 | As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever. |
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 he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. |
2 | And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. |
3 | And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. |
4 | And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. |
5 | And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. |
6 | For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid. |
7 | And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. |
8 | And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves. |
9 | And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead. |
10 | And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean. |
11 | And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come? |
12 | And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. |
13 | But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him. |
14 | And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them. |
15 | And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. |
16 | And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them? |
17 | And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; |
18 | And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. |
19 | He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. |
20 | And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. |
21 | And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. |
22 | And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. |
23 | Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. |
24 | And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. |
25 | When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. |
26 | And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. |
27 | But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. |
28 | And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? |
29 | And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. |
30 | And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it. |
31 | For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day. |
32 | But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him. |
33 | And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way? |
34 | But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest. |
35 | And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. |
36 | And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, |
37 | Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me. |
38 | And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. |
39 | But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. |
40 | For he that is not against us is on our part. |
41 | For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. |
42 | And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. |
43 | And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: |
44 | Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. |
45 | And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: |
46 | Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. |
47 | And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: |
48 | Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. |
49 | For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. |
50 | Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another. |
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.
O Lord, we beseech thee to keep thy Church and houshold continually in thy true religion; that they, who do lean only upon the hope of thy heavenly grace, may evermore be defended by thy mighty power, through 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 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.

Good Lord, deliver 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. 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.
