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. |
1 | I am well pleased, * that the Lord hath heard the voice of my prayer; |
2 | That he hath inclined his ear unto me: * therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. |
3 | The snares of death compassed me round about, * and the pains of hell gat hold upon me. |
4 | I shall find trouble and heaviness, and I will call upon the Name of the Lord; * O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul. |
5 | Gracious is the Lord, and righteous; * yea, our God is merciful. |
6 | The Lord preserveth the simple: * I was in misery, and he helped me. |
7 | Turn again then unto thy rest, O my soul; * for the Lord hath rewarded thee. |
8 | And why? thou hast delivered my soul from death, * mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. |
9 | I will walk before the Lord * in the land of the living. |
10 | I believed, and therefore will I speak; but I was sore troubled: * I said in my haste, All men are liars. |
11 | What reward shall I give unto the Lord * for all the benefits that he hath done unto me? |
12 | I will receive the cup of salvation, * and call upon the Name of the Lord. |
13 | I will pay my vows now in the presence of all his people: * right dear in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. |
14 | Behold, O Lord, how that I am thy servant: * I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid; thou hast broken my bonds in sunder. |
15 | I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, * and will call upon the Name of the Lord. |
16 | I will pay my vows unto the Lord, in the sight of all his people, * in the courts of the Lord's house, even in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord. |
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 | O praise the Lord, all ye heathen; * praise him, all ye nations. |
2 | For his merciful kindness is ever more and more towards us; * and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise the Lord. |
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 | O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious; * because his mercy endureth for ever. |
2 | Let Israel now confess that he is gracious, * and that his mercy endureth for ever. |
3 | Let the house of Aaron now confess, * that his mercy endureth for ever. |
4 | Yea, let them now that fear the Lord confess, * that his mercy endureth for ever. |
5 | I called upon the Lord in trouble; * and the Lord heard me at large. |
6 | The Lord is on my side; * I will not fear what man doeth unto me. |
7 | The Lord taketh my part with them that help me; * therefore shall I see my desire upon mine enemies. |
8 | It is better to trust in the Lord, * than to put any confidence in man. |
9 | It is better to trust in the Lord, * than to put any confidence in princes. |
10 | All nations compassed me round about; * but in the Name of the Lord will I destroy them. |
11 | They kept me in on every side, they kept me in, I say, on every side; * but in the Name of the Lord will I destroy them. |
12 | They came about me like bees, and are extinct even as the fire among the thorns; * for in the Name of the Lord I will destroy them. |
13 | Thou hast thrust sore at me, that I might fall; * but the Lord was my help. |
14 | The Lord is my strength, and my song; * and is become my salvation. |
15 | The voice of joy and health is in the dwellings of the righteous; * the right hand of the Lord bringeth mighty things to pass. |
16 | The right hand of the Lord hath the preeminence; * the right hand of the Lord bringeth mighty things to pass. |
17 | I shall not die, but live, * and declare the works of the Lord. |
18 | The Lord hath chastened and corrected me; * but he hath not given me over unto death. |
19 | Open me the gates of righteousness, * that I may go into them, and give thanks unto the Lord. |
20 | This is the gate of the Lord, * the righteous shall enter into it. |
21 | I will thank thee, for thou hast heard me, * and art become my salvation. |
22 | The same stone which the builders refused, * is become the headstone in the corner. |
23 | This is the Lord's doing, * and it is marvellous in our eyes. |
24 | This is the day which the Lord hath made; * we will rejoice and be glad in it. |
25 | Help me now, O Lord: * O Lord, send us now prosperity. |
26 | Blessed be he that cometh in the Name of the Lord: * we have wished you good luck, ye that are of the house of the Lord. |
27 | God is the Lord who hath shewed us light: * bind the sacrifice with cords, yea, even unto the horns of the altar. |
28 | Thou art my God, and I will thank thee; * thou art my God, and I will praise thee. |
29 | O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious, * and his mercy endureth for ever. |
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 | Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon. |
2 | And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a roll, and therein was a record thus written: |
3 | In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be builded, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits; |
4 | With three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expences be given out of the king's house: |
5 | And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to his place, and place them in the house of God. |
6 | Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-boznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be ye far from thence: |
7 | Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in his place. |
8 | Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expences be given unto these men, that they be not hindered. |
9 | And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests which are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail: |
10 | That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons. |
11 | Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this. |
12 | And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed. |
13 | Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shethar-boznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily. |
14 | And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia. |
15 | And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king. |
16 | And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy, |
17 | And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel. |
18 | And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses. |
19 | And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month. |
20 | For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves. |
21 | And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the Lord God of Israel, did eat, |
22 | And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the Lord had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel. |
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 Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, |
2 | The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, |
3 | And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. |
4 | Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. |
5 | But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: |
6 | And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. |
7 | But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. |
8 | Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. |
9 | Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. |
10 | So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. |
11 | And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: |
12 | And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. |
13 | Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. |
14 | For many are called, but few are chosen. |
15 | Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. |
16 | And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. |
17 | Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Cæsar, or not? |
18 | But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? |
19 | Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. |
20 | And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? |
21 | They say unto him, Cæsar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Cæsar the things which are Cæsar's; and unto God the things that are God's. |
22 | When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. |
23 | The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, |
24 | Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. |
25 | Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: |
26 | Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. |
27 | And last of all the woman died also. |
28 | Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. |
29 | Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. |
30 | For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. |
31 | But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, |
32 | I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. |
33 | And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine. |
34 | But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. |
35 | Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, |
36 | Master, which is the great commandment in the law? |
37 | Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. |
38 | This is the first and great commandment. |
39 | And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. |
40 | On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. |
41 | While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, |
42 | Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David. |
43 | He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, |
44 | The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? |
45 | If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? |
46 | And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. |
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. 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, show thy mercy upon us;
And grant us thy salvation.

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 God, the King of glory, who hast exalted thine only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph unto thy kingdom in heaven; We beseech thee, leave us not comfortless; but send to us thine Holy Ghost to comfort us; and exalt us unto the same place whither our Saviour Christ is gone before; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. 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.

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.

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.
