Farmer.

O LORD, I toil in vain, if Thou dost not bless me. Let me reap what I sow, and receive what I hope for; taking care to employ honestly to my comfort, others' good, and Thy glory what I reap and receive.

As my labour is Eden-work, let me seek innocency in it and with it, being refreshed by Thy blessing and a good conscience. Help me to plough up the fallow ground of my heart by repentance, to receive into it the precious seed of Thy Word, to ask and wait for the dew of Thy grace; that, in the end of the world, I may be gathered into Thy barn. O Thou great Husbandman of souls, teach me this holy husbandry-so to thrive in grace that I may grow rich in glory, through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

Business or work of any kind. O eternal GOD, guide me in all my affairs, that I may be

diligent, just, and faithful in my calling. Bless and prosper my labours, as Thou in Thy wisdom seest most convenient for me; and teach me to be thankful for all Thy mercies.

What I know to be unjust or wrong, let me not do. What I doubt, let me delay, till I can know and do the right. Let neither custom nor the desire of gain lead me against Thy law and my conscience. May I never lose my soul in my work, or give for money of little value what was bought with Precious Blood. May I rather be a beggar in this world, than a bankrupt in the next.

In

In the way of just dealing Thou canst prosper me. that good way let me ever depend on Thee; that Thou mayest bless me in all that I do, and make me a partaker of Thy heavenly treasure, through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

Servant.

Blessed LORD and Saviour JESUS CHRIST, Who, when Thou wast the Son of GOD, didst take upon Thee the form of a servant: Grant that I may with gentleness of and willingness of mind serve spirit, singleness of heart, those under whom I am placed. Help me to do all

For soul and body freely fed, In all Thy gifts Thy love may see,

And use our strength in serving Thee. Amen.

Journey.

Before a Journey. Let Thy Presence go with me, O LORD, that I may be safe. Guide me, prosper me, and lead me to the end. Let not my sins follow me; but let Thy mercy put them from me, and Thy grace accept me. LORD, save me and mine, and all that travel by land or sea; for JESUS CHRIST's sake. Amen.

After a Journey. O GOD, Who hast been with me, and of Thy great mercy hast preserved me: Make me grateful for all that Thou hast done for me, and accept my praises. LORD, bless me and mine; and grant that, by the guidance and assistance of Thy grace, we may at last arrive at the land of everlasting life; to love, adore, and rejoice

Almighty GoD, Maker and Preserver of all things: Help us cheerfully to commit ourselves and all that belongs to us to Thy merciful care. May we ever look up to Thee for what we want, and be thankful for Thy favours. May we never resist Thy dealings with us, nor despise the means of grace which Thou hast appointed for us.

Grant us an interest in all the prayers of Thy Holy Church, which have this day been offered at the throne of grace.

Blessed be GOD, Who gives us what is best for us, keeps us from dangers, and provides for us what we have not deserved! The good LORD make us mindful of our duty; that we, who often learn how we ought to walk and to please GOD, may continue to do so all the days of our lives; through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

Order our steps, O LORD, that we may not stumble at the uneven ways of the world; but steadily go on to our glorious home; neither complaining of the road, nor turning aside from it.
