Then shall follow the Public Catechising or Address, the children first standing up and repeating together the text of Holy Scripture given out at the previous Children's Service. The text for the following Sunday shall then be given to them.

[HYMN AND BLESSING.]

Whilst the Children are leaving the Church, one by one, each Class being preceded by its teacher, it will be found conducive to good order if one of the processional hymns be sung, the Choir retaining their places till the last verse.

Morning Service.

Where there is a Children's Morning Service, the following order is suggested :

Let the Service begin with one of the following Hymns: Nos. 1, 52, 53.

Then shall follow the GENERAL CONFESSION, all kneeling, the Minister first saying—

Dear children, I pray and beseech you, as many as are here present, &c.

Almighty and most merciful Father, &c.

If the Service be said by a Priest, then shall follow

THE ABSOLUTION.

Almighty GOD, the FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, &c.

OUR FATHER, which art in heaven, &c.

V. O LORD, open Thou our lips.

R. And our mouth shall show forth Thy praise.

V. O GOD, make speed to save us.

R. O LORD, make haste to help us.

Then, all standing

Glory be to the FATHER, &c.

As it was in the beginning, &c.

I BELIEVE IN GOD the FATHER Almighty, &c.

V. The LORD be with you.
R. And with thy Spirit.

All kneeling

Let us pray.

COLLECT FOR THE DAY.

COLLECT FOR GRACE.

O LORD, our heavenly FATHER, Almighty and Everlasting GOD, &c.

THE CHILDREN'S PRAYER (page viii.) O ever blessed JESUS, &c.

The grace of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, &c.

MORNING.

NEW every morning is the love

Our wakening and uprising prove;

Through sleep and darkness safely brought, Restored to life, and power, and thought. 2 New mercies, each returning day, Hover around us while we pray, New perils past, new sins forgiven, New thoughts of GOD, and hopes of heaven.

3 If on our daily course our mind

Be set to hallow all we find,

New treasures still, of countless price,
GOD will provide for sacrifice.

4 The trivial round, the common task,
Will furnish all we need to ask;
Room to deny ourselves, a road
To bring us daily nearer GOD.
5 Only, O LORD, in Thy dear love
Fit us for perfect rest above;
And help us, this and every day,

To live more nearly as we pray. Amen.
