hast appointed, lest the night surprise me una

wares.

1 John v. 14. This is the confidence we have in God, that if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us.

That it may be unto thy servant according to his word, I beseech Thee to hear me in the full importance of that holy prayer which thy blessed Son hath taught us:

OUR FATHER, WHICH ART IN HEAVEN:

In whom we live, and move, and have our being; grant that I, and all Christians, may live worthy of this glorious relation, and that we may not sin; knowing that we are accounted thine. We are thine by adoption; O make us thine by the choice of our will.

HALLOWED BE THY NAME.

O God, whose name is great, wonderful, and holy, grant that I and all thy children may glorify Thee, not only with our lips, but in our lives; that others, seeing our good works, may glorify our Father which is in heaven.

THY KINGDOM COME.

May the kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of the Lord and of his Christ. And may all that own Thee for their King, become thy faithful subjects, and obey thy laws. Dethrone, O God, and destroy Satan, and his kingdom; and enlarge the kingdom of grace.

THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH, AS IT IS IN
HEAVEN.

We adore thy goodness, O God, in making thy will known to us in thy Holy Word. May this Thy Word be the rule of our will, of our desires, of our lives, and actions. May we ever sacrifice our will to thine; be pleased with all thy choices for ourselves and others; and adore thy providence in the government of the world.

GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD.

O Heavenly Father, who knowest what we have need of, give us the necessaries and comforts of this life with thy blessing; but above all, give us the bread that nourisheth to eternal life.

Acts xvii. O God, who givest to all life, and breath, and all things; give us grace to impart, to such as are in want, of what Thou hast given more than our daily bread.

AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES, AS WE FORGIVE THEM THAT TRESPASS AGAINST US.

Make us truly sensible of thy goodness, and mercy, and patience towards us, that we may from our hearts forgive every one his brother their trespasses.

May my enemies ever have place in my prayers and in thy mercy.

AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION.

Support us, O Heavenly Father, under all our saving trials, and grant that they may yield us the peaceable fruits of righteousness.

BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

From all sin and wickedness, from our ghostly enemy, and from everlasting death, good Lord deliver us.

Deliver us from the evil of sin, and from the evil of punishment.

Deliver us, O Heavenly Father, from our evil and corrupt nature, from the temptations and snares of an evil world,-and from falling again into the sins we have repented of.

FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, AND THE POWER, AND THE GLORY, FOR EVER AND EVER. AMEN.

By thy Almighty power, O King of Heaven, for the glory of thy name, and for the love of a Father, grant us all these blessings which thy Son has taught us to pray for.

Unto him that is able to do for us abundantly more than we can ask or think, unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus, throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

To God the Creator, the Preserver, and Disposer of all things, be the glory of all the good wrought in us, by us, and upon us.

Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever.

Amen.

Thine infinite power, wisdom, goodness, faithfulness, and truth, are the only sure foundation on which we may depend. O give us a firm faith in these thy glorious perfections.

With angels and archangels, and all the com

pany of Heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious name, evermore praising Thee, and saying, Holy, holy, holy LORD GOD of Hosts, heaven and earth are full of thy glory. Glory be to Thee, O GOD most High. Amen.

Jude 24, 25. Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy; to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Rom. xi. 36. For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things; to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

Rom. xvi. 27. To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ, for ever and ever. Amen. Mark ix. 23. All things are possible to him that believeth.

Yes, Lord, and therefore I beg that faith of Him to whom all things are possible, that I may be able to discover, to avoid, to resist, and to root out, whatever is evil in me.

O Jesus, obtain this grace for thy otherwise help less creature.

Grant that I may this day escape all the snares laid for me by the devil, the world, or mine own corrupt heart.

Grant that I may this day omit no part of my duty.

God

1 Tim. iv. 15. Give thyself wholly to these things, that thy profiting may appear to all. God grant that I may do so and I 3 preserve me from ease, idleness, and trifling away my precious time.

Philemon 4. I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers.

Extend and suit thy graces to all conditions of men, that we may all be upright in our dealings, obedient to our governors, peaceable in our lives, sober, honest, temperate, chaste in our conversation, and charitable to the poor, and one towards another.

Increase the number and the graces of all such as love and fear Thee, enlighten the minds of the ignorant, awaken the consciences of the careless, silence the gainsayers, convert the profane, and all that hold the truth in unrighteousness.

Rebuke the spirit of antichrist, idolatry, and libertinism, the sins of drunkenness, whoredom, litigiousness, and defrauding the public.

In tender mercy remember, O God, all sick and dying persons, that they may omit nothing that is necessary to make their peace with Thee. Be gracious unto all that are under any affliction of mind or body, or under any pressing calamity, all desolate widows and fatherless children,—all that call upon Thee in their distress, and have none else to help them.

Prov. xxi. 1. The king's power is in the hand of the Lord; as the rivers of waters, he turneth it whithersoever he will.

Let this thy power, O Lord, be magnified on his Majesty, and on all that are put in authority under him, That we may be governed with truth and justice, by men fearing and honouring God, protecting the Christian Religion, and punishing evil doers. To this end vouchsafe them, I beseech Thee, all the graces necessary for their high station, and for their eternal happiness.
