Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life.

As many as are led by the spirit of God, they are sons of God.

We know that all things work together for good to them that love God.

This is life eternal, that they

might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

We have a building of God, building of God, a house not made with hands,

eternal in the heavens.

Glory to God in the highest. And on earth peace, goodwill toward men.

THE LORD'S PRAYER.

To be said by the Minister and People.

Increase, O Lord, our

O Lord, open thou our eyes. That we may behold wonderful things out of thy law.

O Lord, open thou our lips. And our mouth shall show forth thy praise.

Praise ye the Lord.

The Lord's name be praised. (Here may be sung a Hymn or Anthem.)

Y

Minister.

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord: in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

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

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

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 the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be always acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.

Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

When the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.

Rend your heart, and not

the Lord your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

EXHORTATION.

THE Scripture moveth us

in sundry places to acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness; and that we should not dissemble nor cloak them before the face of Almighty God, our heavenly Father; but confess them with a lowly, penitent and obedient heart; to the end that we may obtain forgiveness of the same, by his infinite goodness and mercy.

And although we ought at all times humbly to acknowledge our sins before God; yet ought we chiefly so to do, when we assemble and meet together to render thanks for the great benefits that we have received at his hands, to set forth his most worthy praise, to hear his most holy word, and to ask those things which are requisite and necessary, as well for the body as the soul. Wherefore I pray and beseech you,

as many as are here present, to accompany me with a pure heart and humble voice unto the throne of the heavenly grace: saying with me:

A CONFESSION.

To be said by the Minister and People.

ALMIGHTY and most merciful Father: we have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. Spare thou those, O God, who confess their faults. Restore thou those who are penitent, according to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of thy holy name. Amen.

Then shall the Minister say this Prayer.

LORD, we beseech thee, mercifully hear our pray

ers, and spare all those who confess their sins unto thee: that they whose consciences by sin are accused, by thy merciful pardon may be absolved, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE LORD'S PRAYER. To be said by the Minister and People.

OUR Father who art 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 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.

O Lord, open thou our lips. And our mouth shall show forth thy praise.

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God;

Be honor and glory, through Jesus Christ, forever and ever. Praise ye the Lord.

The Lord's name be praised.

(Here a Hymn or Anthem may be sung.)

One or more sentences to be read by the

Minister.

WHEREWITH

I

HEREWITH shall come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? and who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

If thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there remember that thy brother hath aught against thee, leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

EXHORTATION.

AGAIN we rest from the

our

active duties of earthly pilgrimage, to sing our songs of gratitude and adoration, and renew our souls at the fountains of life. We are not strangers or servants, but

children of the household of God. With humble and fervent spirits let us offer up our prayers to Him who, though he dwelleth on high, yet never faileth to listen to the lowly and contrite who call upon him. And when we leave this place, may we all with fresh zeal and love go on our way rejoicing to the blessed and everlasting home.

SENTENCES.

To be said by Minister and People.

HEAR, O Israel: the Lord

our God is one Lord; and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.

This is the first commandment.

And the second is like, namely, this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
