away from thy presence; but we confess our guilt, and humbly trust to the greatness of thy mercy.

O GOD! who desirest not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his wickedness and live; who despisest not the prayers and sighs. of such as call upon thee, hearken unto us, and to all who confess their faults. Give thy grace unto those who are penitent. Turn us unto thee, that, forsaking our sins and living in newness of life, we may be acceptable in thy sight.

O LORD our God! we ask these blessings through thine infinite goodness, in the name of thy Son, our Redeemer, who hath taught us to pray unto thee, saying:

UR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy

OUR

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 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.

After which, the prayer following, and a Benediction.

LORD, our God! Creator and Father of the human race! who hast commanded that prayer and supplication be made for all mankind, we beseech thee that the light of thy holy Gospel may shine upon all nations and upon all men, who still sit in darkness, to the end that thy name, which is great and holy, may be known and glorified in all places; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

We pray to thee, O God! for the prosperity of the Church Universal. Guide it always by thy word and Spirit; and suffer not the gates of hell to prevail against it. Deliver all Churches which suffer persecution. Take away, we beseech thee, the errors and dissensions which disturb thy people; and unite them all in the bonds of truth, of godliness, and of peace. Vouchsafe thy blessing to the Churches of these States; preserve them from error and from vice; remove from them ignorance and scandal; and grant that peace, order and piety may prevail among them. O Lord! be gracious unto this Church, and increase in us the knowledge and the fear of thy name.

WE commend to thy favour, O God! all pastors and ministers, who have been ordained to lead thy flocks. Sanctify and endue plenteously with thy gifts, those who exercise the holy ministry, and those who are preparing for it; and send forth always

faithful labourers into thy harvest. Grant success to the pious designs and holy efforts of all thy servants, who seek thy glory and the edification of thy church. Purify thy sanctuary, and rekindle the zeal of pastors and people; that thy holy name may be more and more glorified among us.

We offer also unto thee our prayers for all rulers and magistrates. Give them a knowledge of thyself, and inspire them with true zeal for thy glory and the good of thy church. We pray for thy blessing on the President of these United States, and on all in authority over us. Guide them in the discharge of their respective duties, and grant that they may have constantly in view the advancement of the public good.

O GOD! continue to watch over our country, and to bless us. Withdraw not thy grace from the people of these States. Turn away from us thy judgments, and be favorable unto us, for the sake of thy holy name.

We implore thy grace for all who are in tribulation. We commend, especially, to thy mercy all those who are under the cross, and who suffer persecution for righteousness' sake. Comfort and deliver them; raise up those who are fallen; and strengthen all, that they may glorify thee in life and in death. Pity and relieve all who are troubled in mind, body, or estate. Grant them repentance and resignation, and grace to make a right use of their afflictions.

FINALLY, we beseech thee, O Lord! to hear the

prayers, and accept the praises, which have this day been offered up unto thee; and give us, we pray thee, a due sense of all thy mercies, that we may show forth thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives; by giving up ourselves to thy service, and by walking before thee, in holiness and righteousness, all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.
