Yea, the waters had drowned us, and the stream had gone over our soul; the deep waters of the proud had gone over our soul. But praised be the Lord, who hath not given us over as a prey unto them. The Lord hath wrought a mighty salvation for us. We got not this by our own sword, neither was it our own arm that saved us; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto us. The Lord hath appeared for us; the Lord hath covered our heads, and made us to stand in the day of battle. The Lord hath appeared for us; the Lord hath overthrown our enemies, and dashed in pieces those that rose up against us. Therefore not unto us, O Lord, not unto us; but unto thy name be given the glory. The Lord hath done great things for us; the Lord hath done great things for us, for which we rejoice. Our help standeth in the name of the Lord, who hath made heaven and earth. Blessed be the name of the Lord, from this time forth for evermore. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Te Deum laudamus.

The goodly fellowship of the Prophets praise thee. The noble army of Martyrs praise thee.

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 humble thyself to be born of a virgin. 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. us.

And we beseech thee, give us grace to improve this great mercy to thy glory, the advancement of thy Gospel, the honour of our country, and, as much as in us lieth, to the good of all mankind. And we beseech thee, give us such a sense of this great mercy, as may engage us to a true thankfulness, such as may appear in our lives, by an humble, holy, and obedient walking before thee all our days, through Jesus Christ our Lord; to whom, with thee, and the Holy Spirit, as for all thy mercies, so in particular for this victory and deliverance, be all glory and honour world without end. 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. At the Burial of the dead at sea, when the Office in the Common Prayer Book is used; only instead of these words, "We therefore commit his body to the ground, earth to earth," &c. say, We therefore commit his body to the deep, to be turned into corruption, looking for the resurrection of the body when the sea shall give up her dead, and the life of the world to come, through our Lord Jesus Christ; who at his coming shall change our vile body, that it may be like his glorious body, according to the mighty working whereby he is able to subdue all things to himself." 0 A Prayer for Sunday Morning, UR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those 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 GOD, who at the beginning didst graciously appoint the Sabbath unto man as a day of rest from his weariness and toil, and also as a sign of thy goodness and power in the creation of the world, and afterwards didst translate it to the first day of the week as a memorial of the highest act of thy mercy, in the resurrection of thy Son Jesus Christ from the dead; grant that I may always observe it according to thy blessed design, making it as far as I am able a season of repose from all worldly labour, and spending it devoutly in thy service and praise. May the Holy Ghost, who on the first day of the week did descend in miraculous gifts and graces on the apostles, come down on me thine unworthy servant, that I may be always in the spirit on the Lord's day! May his blessed inspirations enlighten and assist me in all its religious duties and services both in the secrecy |
