would stay our minds on Thee. Let not trouble cast us down in despair; nor success uplift us in pride. Help us so to live, that our names may not be stained with disgrace; nor others be put to shame, by any fault of ours. Teach us to be prudent in our conduct, to be modest in our behaviour, to be truthful and kind in all our conversation.

Let us not be envious of others' good, nor do anything to cloud their happiness; but rather be full of good-will, ready to rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

(Response.) Quicken me, O Lord, according to Thy loving-kindness.

In our family life especially bless us, O Lord. May we together be strong for all life's difficulties, true and faithful to each other, in all the changes and chances of this mortal life. So may our dwelling together in this household be abundantly blessed by Thee; to train us up for a heavenly home, in higher companionship with the spirits of just men made perfect, with the holy angels, and above all with Christ our Saviour, in His glorious kingdom.

(Response.) Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth, and keep the door of my lips.

Do good, O Lord, to all our relations and friends, according to their need. For all who ever have done us good, we entreat Thy Fatherly blessing. Return all their kindness double into their own bosoms: rewarding them with Thy richest mercies here, and eternal happiness hereafter.

If we have any enemies, do Thou soften and turn their hearts. Let us never willingly give cause of offence; nor let the sun go down upon our wrath : but strive to be merciful, as our Heavenly Father is merciful.

(Response.) Let the words of our mouth, and the meditations of our heart, be always acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our strength and our Redeemer.

We therefore plead Thy promise, O Heavenly Father, that Thou wilt give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Thee. May He be more and more our Teacher, to guide us into all truth: our Comforter, to cheer and refresh our souls: our Sanctifier, to make our hearts pure and holy.

(Response.) My soul waiteth for the Lord, more than they that watch for the morning.
