duty, keep Thy holy will and commandments, and walk in the same all the days of my life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

IV.

HOLY Jesus, Sun of righteousness, Who descendedst from the fountain of eternal purity and splendour, to enlighten us who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, cause the bright beams of Thy sacred and saving light to shine into my darkened heart, dispel and dissipate thence all those clouds of ignorance, sinfulness, and error, which too much infest and infect the same. Make me a

child of the light and of the day; not of the night and of darkness. Let the light of Thy truth direct me, and the light of Thy grace support me, in those sacred paths that lead to light and life everlasting, blessed Saviour and Redeemer Jesu. Amen.

༨.

LORD our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, Who hast safely brought me to the beginning of this day, defend me in the same by Thy most mighty power, and grant that this day I fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger, but that all my doings may be ordered by Thy governance, to do always that which is righteous in Thy sight, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

PRES

VI.

RESERVE me, O Lord, this day from any evils of mine, and me from the evils of the day. Let not my days consume in vanity, nor my years in trouble but let my condition be ever peaceful

and contenting in myself, useful and beneficial to others, well-pleasing and acceptable unto Thee; that when my body shall lie down in the bed of darkness, my soul may pass into the regions of eternal light, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

VII.

PREVENT me, O Lord, in all my doings with

Thy most gracious favour, and further me with Thy continual help, that in all my works begun, continued, and ended in Thee, I may glorify Thy holy Name, and finally by Thy mercy may obtain everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

In Whose most holy Name and words, I beseech Thee to hear me with all Thy faithful people, saying,

Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that 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.

EVENING PRAYERS.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

I.

BLESSING and honour, and glory and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the Throne, and to the Lamb for evermore. Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, and honour, and power, for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created. Blessed be

Thy holy Name for my creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; more particularly, that Thou hast preserved me from all perils and dangers of the day past, wherein many thousands perhaps better than I am, have been cut off, and sent to bewail their sins in the bitter sorrows of a sad eternity. And it is of Thy great mercies that I also am not consumed, even because Thy compassions fail not. 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; blessed be Thy holy Name from this time forth, and for evermore. Amen.

BU

II.

UT I am unworthy, O Lord, to take Thy holy Name in my mouth, or that Thy praise should come within my polluted lips; for I have grievously sinned against Thee in thought, word, and deed, from my youth up until now, and more particularly I have sinned this day, by

[Here confess in particular the sins of the day past; what you have done, and what you have left undone.] Enter not into judgment with Thy servant, O Lord, for in Thy sight no flesh living is righteous. Blessed Lamb of God that takest away the sins of the world, take away mine also, who am a notorious offender. Blessed Lamb of God that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon me; speak peace to my poor soul, and say unto me, I am Thy salvation and grant that I may ever hereafter serve and please Thee in newness of life, living soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world, to the glory of Thy holy Name. Amen.

III.

GOD, from Whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed, give unto me Thy servant that peace which the world cannot give, and grant that both my heart may be alway set to obey Thy Commandments, and also that by Thee I being defended from all my enemies, ghostly and bodily, may pass my time in rest and quietness, through the merits of Jesus Christ my Saviour. Amen.

IV.

LIGHTEN my darkness, I beseech Thee, O

Lord, and by Thy great mercy defend me from all perils and dangers of this night, for the love of Thy only Son our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

V.

PRESERVE me this night from all outward accidents that may harm the body; from all sinful thoughts, desires, words, actions, that may assault and defile the soul; from all the spirits and powers of darkness; from Thy wrath, and from everlasting death, good Lord, deliver me: and grant me this night such quiet, chaste, innocent sleep and repose, that I may rise on the morrow with a pure heart and a clean body to praise Thy blessed Name, and to serve Thee with all cheerfulness and gladness of soul all the days and nights of my life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. 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.
