SUNDAY EVENING.

Evening Prayer.

Confession.

LORD, as we add days unto days, so we add sins

unto sins. O heavenly Father, we have this day sinned against Thee; In thought, word, and deed we have done amiss, And even in Thy House we have provoked Thee to anger. But have mercy upon us, O God, after thy great goodness, And according to the multitude of Thy mercies do away our offences. Forgive the wanderings of our thoughts, and the disorders of our hearts, And lay not to our charge every idle word. Grant that we may truly repent of our careless use this day of the means of grace; And so teach us to do Thy will, and incline our hearts to love Thee, That we may live this week, and the remainder of our lives, in Thy fear, and to the glory of Thy great Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Absolution.

A PRAYER FOR REMISSION OF SINS.

A. When the wicked, even mine enemies, and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh: they stumbled and fell.

M. Though an host of men were laid against me, yet shall not my heart be afraid: and though there rose up war against me, yet will I put my trust in him.

M. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his tabernacle: yea, in the secret place of his dwelling shall he hide me, and set me up upon a rock of stone.

A. And now shall he lift up mine head: above mine enemies round about me.

M. Therefore will I offer in his dwelling an oblation with great gladness: I will sing, and speak praises unto the Lord.

When my father and my mother forsake me : the Lord taketh me up.

M. Teach me thy way, O Lord and lead me in the right way, because of mine enemies.

A. Deliver me not over into the will of mine adversaries for there are false witnesses risen up against me, and such us speak wrong.

M. I should utterly have fainted: but that I believe verily to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

O tarry thou the Lord's leisure: be strong and he shall comfort thine heart; and put thou thy trust in the Lord.

M. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
