Let us pray.

LORD! have mercy upon us; hear our prayers, and let our supplications come unto thee.

O Lord! let thy mercy shine upon us, and grant us thy salvation.

O Lord, preserve thy Holy Church, and favourably hear, through thy grace, all who call upon thee. Clothe thy ministers with righteousness, and cause thy chosen people to rejoice.

O Lord! save thy people and bless thine heritage. Grant us peace in our day, for thou only canst defend us.

O God! make clean our hearts within us, and take not thy Holy Spirit from us.

ETERNAL and Almighty God! we thank thee

O

that thou hast brought us safely to the beginning of this day. Keep us through the same, by thy great power; preserve us from sin, guard us against danger, and so direct us by thy holy guidance, that all our doings may be righteous in thy sight. Lord! we desire to present ourselves unto thee, a living sacrifice; to consecrate to thee our bodies, our souls, our lives, all that is within us, and all that depends upon us; and to employ them to thy glory. Enable us to resign ourselves unto thy will, O God! to confide in thy providence; and to submit ourselves to all the events which it shall please thee to ordain. Do with us whatsoever shall seem good unto thee; and may thy holy will be done in us and by us; for the love of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.

ETERNAL and Almighty God! we implore thy Divine Majesty to receive the sacrifice of praise which we offer, and to hear the prayers which we address unto thee, at the close of this day. Protect us, we beseech thee, during the night. Preserve us from sin and danger, that we may praise and serve thee at all times. O Lord! we commit our souls to

thy care. Guide us whilst awake; guard us whilst we sleep; so that, by day or by night, we may be always with thee; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Here introduce such of the Special or Occasional Prayers or Thanksgivings, from Part III., as are suitable, may be requested, or the Minister's discretion may suggest.

ALMIGHTY God! who hast commanded us to pray for all mankind, and desirest that all may come to a knowledge of the truth, and be saved, favourably hear the supplications which we offer unto thee, for the peace and happiness of all nations, and for the conversion of all who sit in darkness. We implore thy grace for all rulers and magistrates, and especially for the President of the United States, and all others in authority over us. We beseech thee, O God! to preserve and sanctify thy Church, throughout the world, and especially the Church in our own country. Strengthen thou the pastors and ministers of thy word. Have mercy on all nations and persons in affliction. Deliver all who are under persecution, or in captivity, for the sake of the truth. Relieve, comfort and assist the sick and the dying. Vouchsafe unto sinners opportunity and means for repentance and amendment. Strengthen all who are weak in faith and in godliness. Give unto those who love and fear thee, grace to persevere and advance continually in holiness. Bless all who are engaged in works of piety and charity. Grant peace, O Lord! to these

United States. Bless the fruits of the earth. (Bless this city, and all its inhabitants.) Bless all who are here present, and who call upon thee with sincerity of heart. Favourably hear us, O God! Give us grace to pass our days in thy fear, and to end them in thy peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, blessed forever. Amen.

A

Or the following Prayer.

LMIGHTY God! suffer not thy holy name to be

reproached on account of our offences. We have sinned against thee in various ways; we have not obeyed thy word as we ought, but have daily provoked thine anger, so that thou mightest justly have punished us. But, O Lord! remember us in mercy, and have compassion on us. Give us grace to be deeply sensible of our sins, to repent of them, and to amend our lives. Bless thy people, O God! Strengthen thy ministers, that they may preach thy word, and exercise their ministry, with faithfulness and zeal. Strengthen, likewise, all rulers and magistrates, that they may use the trust committed to them for thy glory, and the good of thy people. Send down thy blessing on the President of the United States, and on all others in authority over us. O gracious God! turn aside thy judgments from us, and be always our Protector. Confound all designs against thy church, and against thy gospel. O Lord! deprive us not of thy word, and take not thy
