and forbearing, patient and humble, honest and true in all our words and actions. Grant us to walk always in Thy Presence, to seek first Thy Kingdom and Righteousness, and to trust firmly in Thy good providence to give us all things needful for our souls and bodies.

Bless Thy Holy Church throughout the world, and may we be faithful members of it all the days of our life. Bless our relations and friends. Have mercy upon this parish. Bless the Clergy-convert sinners, enlighten the ignorant, succour the tempted and all who are in any special need. These blessings we humbly ask, O most merciful FATHER, in the Name of JESUS CHRIST, our only LORD and SAVIOUR. Amen.

Our FATHER, Which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. Amen.

The LORD bless and keep us, the LORD make His Face to shine upon us, and be gracious unto us, the LORD lift up the

light of His Countenance upon us, and give us peace, now and for evermore. Amen.

EVENING PRAYERS.

Kneel down reverently, and say,

Remember not, LORD, our offences, nor the offences of our forefathers. Spare us, good LORD, spare Thy servants whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy most Precious Blood, and be not angry with us for ever. Spare us, good LORD.

O Almighty and Eternal GOD, we Thine unworthy servants, beseech Thee to look graciously upon us, who come before Thy Throne of Mercy to offer up our humble thanksgivings for all Thy goodness and love to us for the mercies and comforts of this day, and above all, for Thy great love in the Redemption of the world by our LORD JESUS CHRIST. O Heavenly FATHER, we confess that we are not wor

thy of the least of all Thy mercies; we have sinned against Heaven and before Thee, and are no more worthy to be called Thy children. [Pause, and call to mind wherein you have sinned.] We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings. Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, and forgive us for JESUS CHRIST'S sake, and bring us to everlasting life. Amen.

Our FATHER, &c.

O GOD, make speed to save us.
O LORD, make haste to help us.

Rise and read aloud a short portion of Holy Scripture. After reading, let all say,

B. Thanks be to GOD.
I believe in GOD, &c.

Then kneel down again, and say,

LORD, have mercy upon us.
CHRIST, have mercy upon us.
LORD, have mercy upon us.
V. Vouchsafe, O LORD, to keep us;
B. This night without sin.

V. O LORD, have mercy upon us;
B. Have mercy upon us.

V. LORD, hear our prayer;

B. And let our cry come unto Thee.

Let us pray.1

Almighty GoD, Who through Thy onlybegotten SoN JESUS CHRIST hast overcome death, and opened unto us the gate of everlasting life; we humbly beseech Thee that, through the grave, and gate of death, we may pass to our joyful resurrection; for His merits, Who died, and was

1 On Sunday first say :

Almighty and everlasting GoD, Heavenly FATHER, we give Thee humble thanks, for that Thou hast vouchsafed to call us to the knowledge of Thy grace, and faith in Thee: increase this knowledge, and confirm this faith in us evermore. Renew in us Thy HOLY SPIRIT, that as we have been, in Holy Baptism, born again and made heirs of everlasting salvation, through our LORD JESUS CHRIST, we may continue Thy servants, and attain Thy promises; through the same LORD JESUS CHRIST Thy SON, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in the unity of the same HOLY SPIRIT, everlastingly. Amen.

Almighty GoD, we beseech Thee graciously to behold this Thy family, for which our LORD JESUS CHRIST was contented to be betrayed, and given up into the hands of wicked men, and to suffer death upon the Cross, Who now liveth and reigneth with Thee and the HOLY GHOST, ever one GOD, world without end. Amen.

buried, and rose again for us, Thy SON JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

Visit, we beseech Thee, O LORD, this habitation, and drive far from it all snares of the enemy; let Thy Holy Angels dwell herein, to preserve us in peace, and let Thy Blessing be upon us for ever; through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

O GOD, Merciful and Faithful, the aid of all that trust in Thee, keep safely under the shadow of Thy wings, ourselves, our relations, our friends and benefactors, and all Thy servants. Bless and preserve all Christian kings and governors, [especially the Queen,] all Bishops and Pastors, [especially our own,] all Missionaries in distant lands, all those in Religious Societies set apart for Thy service, and all who are mindful of the poor and afflicted. Remember all widows and orphans, and all who call upon Thee, and have none else to help them, and also such as never pray for themselves. Heal the sick, succour the dying. Convert sinners, and have mercy upon all for whom Thy dear SON shed His Precious Blood. Finally, O LORD, remember all who have asked our prayers, all for whom we are in any way bound to pray, and all who pray for us, and grant
