After which, as follows.

GOD! of infinite wisdom, power and goodness,

we acknowledge thee as the Creator of all things in the heavens above, in the earth beneath, and in the paths of the sea. We adore thee for the grandeur and beauty of all thy works. We adore thy lovingkindness, in having made them subservient to the wants and happiness of thy children. What is man, that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man, that thou visitest him! Thou hast given him dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowls

of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Thou hast given to him for meat every moving thing that liveth, and every herb yielding seed, and every fruit tree yielding fruit, after its kind. Thou hast crowned us with mercy and loving-kindness.

WE adore thee for thy gracious promise of old, that while the earth remaineth, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, shall not cease. Thou visitest the earth and blessest it. Thou sendest the springs into the valleys which run among the hills. Thou causest the grass to grow for all cattle, and herb for the service of man, that he may bring forth food out of the earth. Thou makest the furrows of the field soft with showers; thou blessest the springing thereof. The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy. Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; thy clouds drop fatness; they drop upon the pastures of the wilderness, and the little hills rejoice on every side. O Lord! how manifold are thy

works

in wisdom hast thou made them all.

WE would adore thee, O God! not only in the riches of thy bounty and compassion, but in thy righteous judgments. Thou openest thine hand, and we are filled with good; thou hidest thy face, and we are troubled.

But we know, O God! that

in thy wrath thou rememberest mercy; and we acknowledge thy long-suffering and thy loving-kind

ness. Give us grace to believe and feel, that whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth; and make us ever ready to offer unto thee, in spirit and in truth, the prayer of the holy prophet: Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines, the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls; yet we will rejoice in the Lord, we will joy in the God of our salvation.

FOR ourselves and our country, O gracious God! we thank thee, that notwithstanding our manifold transgressions of thy holy laws, thou hast so constantly done good to us; that thou hast given us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. These have been among the witnesses of thy great goodness, for they certify of thee that thou art the living God. Teach us to believe with a strong faith, that thou art Lord of the seasons; that thou biddest the earth to bring forth, and it obeyeth thee. Accept our thanksgivings for all the blessings of the year now drawing to a close; fill our hearts with humility and love, with gratitude and trust; continue thy loving-kindness to us, and assist us to show forth the fruits of grace, in a sincere obedience to his will, through whom all blessings are vouchsafed, thy Son our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Here may be sung a Psalm or Hymn.

Let us pray.

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 the 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 Lord! 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
