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 | Bow down thine ear, O Lord, and hear me; * for I am poor, and in misery. |
2 | Preserve thou my soul, for I am holy: * my God, save thy servant that putteth his trust in thee. |
3 | Be merciful unto me, O Lord; * for I will call daily upon thee. |
4 | Comfort the soul of thy servant; * for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. |
5 | For thou, Lord, art good and gracious, * and of great mercy unto all them that call upon thee. |
6 | Give ear, Lord, unto my prayer, * and ponder the voice of my humble desires. |
7 | In the time of my trouble I will call upon thee; * for thou hearest me. |
8 | Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; * there is not one that can do as thou doest. |
9 | All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship thee, O Lord; * and shall glorify thy Name. |
10 | For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: * thou art God alone. |
11 | Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walk in thy truth: * O knit my heart unto thee, that I may fear thy Name. |
12 | I will thank thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart; * and will praise thy Name for evermore. |
13 | For great is thy mercy toward me; * and thou hast delivered my soul from the nethermost hell. |
14 | O God, the proud are risen against me; * and the congregations of naughty men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee before their eyes. |
15 | But thou, O Lord God, art full of compassion and mercy, * longsuffering, plenteous in goodness and truth. |
16 | O turn thee then unto me, and have mercy upon me; * give thy strength unto thy servant, and help the son of thine handmaid. |
17 | Shew some token upon me for good, that they who hate me may see it and be ashamed, * because thou, Lord, hast holpen me and comforted me. |
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 | Her foundations are upon the holy hills: * the Lord loveth the gates of Sion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. |
2 | Very excellent things are spoken of thee, * thou city of God. |
3 | I will think upon Rahab and Babylon * with them that know me. |
4 | Behold ye the Philistines also: * and they of Tyre, with the Morians; lo, there was he born. |
5 | And of Sion it shall be reported that he was born in her: * and the most High shall stablish her. |
6 | The Lord shall rehearse it when he writeth up the people; * that he was born there. |
7 | The singers also and trumpeters shall he rehearse: * All my fresh springs shall be in thee. |
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 Lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: * O let my prayer enter into thy presence, incline thine ear unto my calling. |
2 | For my soul is full of trouble, * and my life draweth nigh unto hell. |
3 | I am counted as one of them that go down into the pit, * and I have been even as a man that hath no strength. |
4 | Free among the dead, like unto them that are wounded, and lie in the grave: * who are out of remembrance, and are cut away from thy hand. |
5 | Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, * in a place of darkness, and in the deep. |
6 | Thine indignation lieth hard upon me, * and thou hast vexed me with all thy storms. |
7 | Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me, * and made me to be abhorred of them. |
8 | I am so fast in prison * that I cannot get forth. |
9 | My sight faileth for very trouble; * Lord, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched forth my hands unto thee. |
10 | Dost thou shew wonders among the dead? * or shall the dead rise up again, and praise thee? |
11 | Shall thy lovingkindness be shewed in the grave? * or thy faithfulness in destruction? |
12 | Shall thy wondrous works be known in the dark? * and thy righteousness in the land where all things are forgotten? |
13 | Unto thee have I cried, O Lord; * and early shall my prayer come before thee. |
14 | Lord, why abhorrest thou my soul, * and hidest thou thy face from me? |
15 | I am in misery, and like unto him that is at the point to die; * even from my youth up thy terrors have I suffered with a troubled mind. |
16 | Thy wrathful displeasure goeth over me, * and the fear of thee hath undone me. |
17 | They came round about me daily like water, * and compassed me together on every side. |
18 | My lovers and friends hast thou put away from me, * and hid mine acquaintance out of my sight. |
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 | Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. |
2 | And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the Lord of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims. |
3 | And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart. |
4 | And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark. |
5 | And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals. |
6 | And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. |
7 | And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God. |
8 | And David was displeased, because the Lord had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perez-uzzah to this day. |
9 | And David was afraid of the Lord that day, and said, How shall the ark of the Lord come to me? |
10 | So David would not remove the ark of the Lord unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. |
11 | And the ark of the Lord continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and the Lord blessed Obed-edom, and all his household. |
12 | And it was told king David, saying, The Lord hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness. |
13 | And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings. |
14 | And David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. |
15 | So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet. |
16 | And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart. |
17 | And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. |
18 | And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. |
19 | And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house. |
20 | Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! |
21 | And David said unto Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel: therefore will I play before the Lord. |
22 | And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour. |
23 | Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death. |
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 it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed. |
2 | But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren. |
3 | Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands. |
4 | But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles. |
5 | And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them, |
6 | They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about: |
7 | And there they preached the gospel. |
8 | And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked: |
9 | The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, |
10 | Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked. |
11 | And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men. |
12 | And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker. |
13 | Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. |
14 | Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, |
15 | And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein: |
16 | Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways. |
17 | Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. |
18 | And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them. |
19 | And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead. |
20 | Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. |
21 | And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, |
22 | Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. |
23 | And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. |
24 | And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia. |
25 | And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia: |
26 | And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled. |
27 | And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. |
28 | And there they abode long time with the disciples. |
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.
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 God, who hast given thine only Son to be unto us both a sacrifice for sin, and also an ensample of godly life; Give us grace that we may always most thankfully receive that his inestimable benefit, and also daily endeavour ourselves to follow the blessed steps of his most holy life, through the same 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 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.
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.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.

Pitifully behold the sorrows of our hearts.

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.

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.
