hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him at the last day.

[Verses before Prayer.]

O Lord God of my salvation, I have cried day and night unto Thee; let my prayer come before Thee, incline Thine ear unto my cry.

Let us pray.

(Reader.) The Lord be with you.
(Response.) And with thy spirit.

O God the Father, who hast made us and all the world:

Have mercy upon us, Thy ruined and erring children.

O God the Son, who hast redeemed us and all mankind :—

Have mercy upon us, Thy weak and mortal brethren.

O God the Holy Ghost, who sanctifieŝt us and all the elect people of God :—

Have mercy upon us, fallen and miserable sinners.

O holy, blessed, and glorious Trinity, three Persons and one God; we sinners do most humbly beseech Thee evermore to defend us by Thy power, to conduct us by Thy wisdom, to restrain us by Thy justice, and to comfort us by Thy mercy.

We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord.

From all overwhelming temptations; from provoking Thy wrath against us; from being given over to a hardened or reprobate mind; from living careless, or dying unprepared :—

Good Lord, deliver us.

From pride and anger; from envy and covetousness; from sloth and idleness; from excess in bodily desires or appetites :

Guard us, good Lord.

From carelessness and disobedience; from ill nature and cruelty; from all untrue words or deceitful ways:

Keep us, good Lord.

From dark doubts and spiritual fears; from despondency of mind; from weakening of our faculties, or loss of reason:

Spare us, good Lord.

From sore distress or hardships; from violence or oppression; from painful accidents and grievous diseases :

Save us,
good Lord.

With a sound judgment in all difficulties;
With success in our undertakings;
With moderation in our enjoyments:-

Vouchsafe to bless us, good Lord.

With living Faith to overcome evil :

With assured Hope of salvation :

With Heavenly Love to all Christ's people :
With Joy unspeakable and full of glory :-

Be pleased to enrich us, good Lord.

For all our relations, friends, and benefactors;
For those who are in any suffering or distress;
For the sick, the dying, and the bereaved :-

Son of God, we beseech Thee to hear us.

For the good of all among whom we live in this place;

For the prosperity of our native land;

For the welfare of the Church of which we are members :

Both now, and ever, we beseech Thee to hear us, O Christ.

[Here may be added any special Prayers or Collects.]

Wednesday Evening.

(Reader.) PEACE be to this house, and to all that dwell in it.
