Prayer to be said silently before leaving Church after the blessing

:

O LORD, we thank Thee for the instruction which we have now received. Forgive what Thou hast seen amiss in us, and grant that what we have heard we may remember, and what we remember we may try to do, through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

Grace before Meals.

Bless, O LORD, these good things to our use and make us truly thankful, through JESUS CHRIST, our LORD. Amen.

Grace after Meals.

For these and all His gifts to us, GOD's holy Name be praised. Amen.

Confirmation.

A prayer to be said daily whilst preparing for Confirmation.

O LORD JESU CHRIST, Who hast sent the Holy Spirit into the world to strengthen us, to comfort us, and to lead us into all truth, I pray Thee to help me so to prepare and make ready my soul to receive the grace of confirmation, that I may come with true faith and

penitent heart unto that holy mystery, and obtain the fulness of those gifts which will enable me to resist all evil here, and follow Thy footsteps in lowliness of heart, and obtain in the end everlasting happiness, where Thou livest and reignest with the FATHER and the HOLY Amen. GHOST, GOD for ever and ever.

Ejaculations.

"Resist the devil, and he shall flee from you." In times of temptation, say to yourselves some short sentence from the Holy Bible.

For instance :

If you feel angry, say-" Peace, be still." If proud or conceited- "Walk humbly with thy God."

If bad thoughts come into your mind— "Blessed are the pure in heart."

If tempted to be disobedient or disrespectful "Honour thy father and mother."

If tempted to neglect your prayers or absent yourselves from church-"I must be about my Father's business."

If tempted to be selfish or unkind-" Even Christ pleased not Himself."

If tempted when alone-"Thou, God, seest

me.

[ocr errors]

If you feel that you have done wrong, say instantly-"Lord, have mercy upon me, and help me not to sin again."

INDEX TO FIRST LINES.

Again the day of gladness.

All glory, laud, and honour

All hail the power of JESU's name
Almighty GoD, Whose only Son..
Angels singing, church bells ringing
Around the throne of GOD a band
As St. Joseph lay asleep
Behold a little Child
Behold, behold He cometh
Beyond the Holy City wall

Blest are the pure in heart..

Brightly gleams our banner

Children of the endless morning

CHRIST is gone up, but ere He passed
CHRIST the LORD is risen again

Come, praise your LORD and SAVIOUR
Come, sing with holy gladness...
Come, ye faithful, raise the anthem
Come, ye thankful people, come
Daily, daily sing the praises.
Earth has many a noble city..
Eternal FATHER, strong to save
Fair waved the golden corn
For Thy mercy and Thy grace
Forty days and forty nights

From Greenland's icy mountains

Glory be to JESUS

Glory to the blessed JESUS

Glory to the FATHER give..

He led them unto Bethany

Here, LORD, we offer Thee all that is fairest

HOLY GHOST, come down upon Thy children.

Holy JESUS, we adore Thee.

I love the Holy Angels

I love to hear the story

In the Name of Him Who loves us..

In the paradise of JESUS

In token that thou shalt not fear

I think when I read that sweet story of old

It is a thing most wonderful

JESU, meek and gentle

JESU, royal JESU

Jerusalem the golden

JESUS CHRIST is risen to-day

JESUS lives no longer now

JESUS, Name of wondrous love

JESUS, our LORD, hath triumphed
Lift the strain of high thanksgiving
Lo! He comes with clouds descending
LORD, Who hast made me Thy dear child
LORD, Who throughout these forty days
Merciful and loving SAVIOUR
My SAVIOUR has called me

New every morning is the love
Now thank we all our GOD

Now the day is over

O come, all ye faithful

O FATHER, Thou Who hast created all.

O GOD, our help in ages past

O happy band of pilgrims

O Holy LORD, content to fill..

O JESU, GOD and Man

O JESU, I have promised

O JESUS, merciful and true
Once in Bethlehem of Judah.
Once in royal David's city..
Once was seen a Jewish Maiden
On the wings of living light
Onward, Christian soldiers..
Onward through the rolling ages..

Our blest REDEEMER ere He breathed

O Word of GOD above

Praise, O praise our GOD and King

Praise to Thee, LORD JESUS..

Rejoice, ye pure in heart

SAVIOUR, blessed SAVIOUR....
SAVIOUR, Who Thy flock art feeding.
Shall we not love thee, Mother.dear
Sing to-day with holy joy

......

Tender Shepherd, Thou hast stilled
The advent of our King.

The Church's One Foundation.

The Heavenly Child in stature grows..
The lilies in the field that grow
The Son of GOD goes forth to war

The strife is o'er

There is a green hill far away

There's a Friend for little children

There is no Name so sweet on earth
The Story of the Cross

The Story of the Nativity

The Story of the Resurrection

Thou didst leave Thy throne

Through the night of doubt and sorrow..
'Tis done! that new and heavenly birth
To the Name of our salvation

Waken, Christian children

We are the children of a King

We love the place, O GOD..
We plough the fields and scatter

We thank Thee, LORD, for this fair earth..
What star is this, with beams so bright?
When GOD of old came down from heaven
When morning gilds the skies

While shepherds watched

Who is this, so weak and helpless?.
