FROM the rising of the

sun, unto the going down of the same, the Lord's name is to be praised.

O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together; for with him is the fountain of life, and in his light shall we see light.

Let our prayers be set forth in his sight as incense; and the lifting up of our hands be an evening sacrifice.

We will go into his tabernacle; we will worship at his footstool; we will worship, and fall down, and kneel before the Lord our Maker.

For he is kind to all, even unto the evil and unthankful. He has nour

offences. We deplore the sins which we have at

thought, or affection, in word, or deed, Against each other and against thee. And we humbly be seech thee, Through thy mercy declared unto us by thy Son Jesus Christ, To look graciously upon us, and forgive us, And assist us to lay aside every weight, And the sins which so easily beset us; To mortify our evil and corrupt affections, And to subdue our thoughts and desires to the obedience of the gospel. May we be convinced, O God, That till we know thee, we know nothing aright; That without thee, we have nothing of any worth; And in wandering from thee, we leave all that is truly good. Let us cast ourselves into the arms of thy mercy, And offer thee our whole being, our bodies and our souls, That they may be thy temple for ever. And wilt thou take us, O Lord, entirely into thy hands, with all that we have, And let nothing henceforward either in life or death, ever separate us from thee any more. Amen.

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.

Then shall the Minister say,

LORD, open thou our lips;

Answ. And our mouths shall show forth thy praise. Min. O God make speed

to save us.

Answ. O Lord make haste to help us.

Min. O Lord let thy mercy be shown upon us; Answ. As we do put our trust in thee.

Min. Praise ye the Lord. Answ. The Lord's name be praised.

Then shall be said, by the Minister and People, alternately, the Psalms

SING unto the Lord

a new song; for he hath done marvellous things.

ness hath he openly shown in the sight of the heathen.

He hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel; and all the ends of the world have seen the salvation of our God.

Show yourselves joyful unto the Lord, all ye lands; sing, rejoice, and give thanks.

Praise the Lord upon the harp; sing to the harp with a psalm of thanksgiving;

With trumpets also and shawms, O show yourselves joyful before the Lord the king.

Let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is; the round world and they that dwell therein.

Let the floods clap their hands; and let the hills be joyful together before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth.

With righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

Or this.

Quam dilecta! PSALM LXXXIV.

dwellings, thou Lord

The Lord declared his salvation; his righteous

of hosts!

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the Lord; my heart and

my flesh cry out for the living God.

As the sparrow findeth a house, and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young, so let me dwell at thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.

Blessed are they who dwell in thy house; they will be always praising thee.

Blessed are the men whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are thy ways.

They will go from strength to strength, till every one of them appeareth before God in Sion.

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of ungodliness.

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from those who walk uprightly.

O Lord, God of hosts, blessed is the man who trusteth in thee.

Then shall the Minister read the SECOND LES

SON from the Epistles, and at the end of it he shall say, Here endeth the Second Lesson. Then shall be sung, or else repeated by the Minister and People, alternately, the 67th Psalm, as followeth.

Deus misereatur.

GOD

PSALM LXVII.

OD be merciful unto us, and bless us; and show us the light of his countenance, and be merciful unto us;

That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.

Let the people praise thee, O God; yea, let all the people praise thee.

O let the nations rejoice and be glad; for thou shalt judge the folk righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.

Let the people praise thee, O God; yea, let all the people praise thee.

Then shall the earth bring forth her increase; and God, even our own God, shall give us his blessing.

God shall bless us, and all the ends of the world shall fear him.

Or this.

Levavi oculos meos. PSALM CXXI.

I WILL lift

up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

My help cometh from the Lord, who hath made heaven and earth.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; he who keepeth thee will not sleep. Behold, he who keepeth his people shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord himself is thy keeper; the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, neither the moon by night.

The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil; it is even he who shall keep thy soul.

The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in, from this time forth for evermore.

Min. O God make clean our hearts within us; Answ. And take not thy holy Spirit from us.

Then shall the Minister offer the following Pray

ers.

A PRAYER FOR AID AGAINST PERILS.

THOU great Author of our being, who knowest all our wants, and who alone art able to supply them; who perceivest all the dangers and evils to which we are exposed, and who alone canst defend us ; whither shall we go but unto thee! We pray thee to compassionate our weakness, to guard us in peril, to direct us in doubt, and to save us from falling into sin. In every exposure may thy shield be over

us.

Heavenly Father, we beseech thee to watch over us this night, and preserve us from all harm. In the night of affliction and trouble may we look up unto thee, and be comforted
