Keep Thy servant also from presumptuous sins, lest they get the dominion over me: so shall I be undefiled, and innocent from the great offence. Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart be alway acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord my strength, and my redeemer. Psalm xxv. UNTO NTO Thee, O Lord, will I lift up my soul; my God, I have put my trust in Thee: O let me not be confounded, neither let mine enemies (my sins) triumph over me. For all they that hope in Thee shall not be ashamed but such as transgress without a cause shall be put to confusion. Shew me Thy ways, O Lord: and teach me Thy paths. Lead me forth in Thy truth, and learn me for Thou art the God of my salvation; in Thee hath been my hope all the day long. Call to remembrance, O Lord, Thy tender mercies and Thy loving-kindnesses, which have been ever of old. O remember not the sins and offences of my youth but according to Thy mercy think Thou upon me, O Lord, for Thy goodness. Gracious and righteous is the Lord therefore will He teach sinners in the way. Them that are meek shall He guide in judgment and such as are gentle, them shall He learn His way. All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth: unto such as keep His covenant, and His testimonies. For Thy Name's sake, O Lord be merciful unto my sin, for it is great. What man is he, that feareth the Lord: him shall He teach in the way that He shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease and his seed shall inherit the land. The secret of the Lord is among them that fear Him and He will shew them His covenant. Mine eyes are ever looking unto the Lord for He shall pluck my feet out of the net. Turn Thee unto me, and have mercy upon me : for I am desolate, and in misery. The sorrows of my heart are enlarged: O bring Thou me out of my troubles. Look upon my adversity and misery and forgive me all my sin. Consider mine enemies, how many they are : and they bear a tyrannous hate against me. O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be confounded, for I have put my trust in Thee. Let perfectness and righteous dealing wait upon me for my hope hath been in Thee. Deliver Israel, O God: out of all his troubles. IN MY BAPTISM I did renounce the Devil and all his works, the pomps and vanity of this wicked world, and all the sinful lusts of the flesh, And I did promise (GOD being my helper) to keep His holy will and commandments, and to walk in the same all the days of my life. I The Articles of the Christian Faith. BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, 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 at 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. Let us pray. ¶ All kneeling. For Conversion from Sin. LORD Jesu Christ, Who at Thy first coming didst send Thy messenger to prepare Thy way before Thee; Grant that the ministers and stewards of Thy mysteries may likewise so prepare and make ready Thy way, by turning the hearts of the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, that at Thy second coming to judge the world we may be found an acceptable people in Thy sight, Who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen. For Pardon. LORD, we beseech Thee favourably to hear the prayers of Thy people; that we, who are justly punished for our offences, may be mercifully delivered by Thy goodness, for the glory of Thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Saviour, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. For Purity. Amen. GOD, whose Blessed Son was manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil, and make us the sons of God, and heirs of eternal life; Grant us, we beseech Thee, that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves, even as He is pure; that, when He shall appear again with power and great glory, we may be made like unto Him in His eternal and glorious kingdom; where with Thee, O Father, and Thee, O Holy Ghost, He liveth and reigneth, ever one God, world without end. Amen. Final Prayers. Be Thou, O LORD, Over me to shelter me, 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. MONDAY MORNING. BE NEWNESS OF LIFE. E not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. 1 Cor. xv. 33, 34. HYMN. AWAKE, my soul, and with the sun Let all thy converse be sincere, Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart, Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow; Praise Him above, angelic host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. |
