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 | O sing unto the Lord a new song; * sing unto the Lord, all the whole earth. |
2 | Sing unto the Lord, and praise his Name; * be telling of his salvation from day to day. |
3 | Declare his honour unto the heathen, * and his wonders unto all people. |
4 | For the Lord is great, and cannot worthily be praised; * he is more to be feared than all gods. |
5 | As for all the gods of the heathen, they are but idols; * but it is the Lord that made the heavens. |
6 | Glory and worship are before him; * power and honour are in his sanctuary. |
7 | Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, * ascribe unto the Lord worship and power. |
8 | Ascribe unto the Lord the honour due unto his Name; * bring presents, and come into his courts. |
9 | O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; * let the whole earth stand in awe of him. |
10 | Tell it out among the heathen that the Lord is King, * and that it is he who hath made the round world so fast that it cannot be moved; and how that he shall judge the people righteously. |
11 | Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; * let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is. |
12 | Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it; * then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the Lord. |
13 | For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth; * and with righteousness to judge the world, and the people with his truth. |
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 | The Lord is King, the earth may be glad thereof; * yea, the multitude of the isles may be glad thereof. |
2 | Clouds and darkness are round about him: * righteousness and judgement are the habitation of his seat. |
3 | There shall go a fire before him, * and burn up his enemies on every side. |
4 | His lightnings gave shine unto the world: * the earth saw it, and was afraid. |
5 | The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord; * at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. |
6 | The heavens have declared his righteousness, * and all the people have seen his glory. |
7 | Confounded be all they that worship carved images, and that delight in vain gods: * worship him, all ye gods. |
8 | Sion heard of it, and rejoiced; * and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy judgements, O Lord. |
9 | For thou, Lord, art higher than all that are in the earth: * thou art exalted far above all gods. |
10 | O ye that love the Lord, see that ye hate the thing which is evil: * the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of the ungodly. |
11 | There is sprung up a light for the righteous, * and joyful gladness for such as are true-hearted. |
12 | Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; * and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness. |
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen. |
1 | And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead. |
2 | Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon. |
3 | And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it? |
4 | Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away. |
5 | When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return. |
6 | And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ish-tob twelve thousand men. |
7 | And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men. |
8 | And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ish-tob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field. |
9 | When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians: |
10 | And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon. |
11 | And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee. |
12 | Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord do that which seemeth him good. |
13 | And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him. |
14 | And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem. |
15 | And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together. |
16 | And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them. |
17 | And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him. |
18 | And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there. |
19 | And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more. |
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 | Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek: |
2 | Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. |
3 | Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek. |
4 | And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem. |
5 | And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily. |
6 | Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, |
7 | After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. |
8 | And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. |
9 | And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. |
10 | And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them. |
11 | Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis; |
12 | And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days. |
13 | And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither. |
14 | And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. |
15 | And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us. |
16 | And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: |
17 | The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. |
18 | And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. |
19 | And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers, |
20 | And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, |
21 | And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans. |
22 | And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. |
23 | And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: |
24 | Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. |
25 | And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. |
26 | And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed. |
27 | And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. |
28 | But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. |
29 | Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, |
30 | And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? |
31 | And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. |
32 | And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. |
33 | And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. |
34 | And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house. |
35 | And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go. |
36 | And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace. |
37 | But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out. |
38 | And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans. |
39 | And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city. |
40 | And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed. |
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; * for he hath visited and redeemed his people; | |
And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us, * in the house of his servant David; | |
As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets, * which have been since the world began; | |
That we should be saved from our enemies, * and from the hand of all that hate us: | |
To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers, * and to remember his holy covenant; | |
To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather Abraham, * that he would give us; | |
That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies * might serve him without fear; | |
In holiness and righteousness before him, * all the days of our life. | |
And thou, Child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest: * for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; | |
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people * for the remission of their sins, | |
Through the tender mercy of our God; * whereby the Day-spring from on high hath visited us; | |
To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, * and to guide our feet into the way of peace. | |
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen. |
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; The third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; The holy Catholic Church; The Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body; And the Life everlasting. Amen.
The Lord be with you:
And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Our Father, whichwho art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done inon earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

Because there is none other that fighteth for us, but only thou, O God.
O God, make clean our hearts within us;
And take not thy Holy Spirit from us.
Almighty God, who 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.

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.

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.
