Thought is poor, and poor expression,
Who can sing that wondrous song?
Brightness of the Father's glory!
Shall thy praise unuttered lie?
Break, my tongue, such guilty silence,
Sing the Lord who came to die.

Third Sunday.

Te Deum laudamus.

WE
W to be the Lord.

E praise thee, O God! we acknowledge thee

All the earth doth worship thee. the Father everlasting.

To thee all angels cry aloud, the heavens and all the powers therein.

To thee cherubim and seraphim continually do

cry,

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts!

Heaven and earth are full of the majesty of thy glory.

The glorious company of the apostles, praise thee. The goodly fellowship of the prophets, praise thee.

The noble army of martyrs, praise thee.

The holy church, throughout all the world, doth acknowledge thee,

The Father of an infinite majesty;
Thy holy, true, and only Son;
Also, the Holy Ghost, the Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory, O God!
And Jesus Christ thy well-beloved Son.

When thou gavest him to deliver man, it pleased thee that he should be born of a virgin.

When he had overcome the sharpness of death, he opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. He sitteth at the right hand of God, in the glory of the Father.

We believe that he shall come to be our judge.

We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, whom thou hast redeemed through his most precious blood. Make them to be numbered with thy saints, in glory everlasting.

O Lord, save thy people, and bless thine heritage.
Govern them, and lift them up for ever.
Day by day' we magnify thee;

And we worship thy Name, ever, world without end.

Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin. O Lord, have mercy upon us; have mercy upon us. O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, as our trust is in thee.

O Lord, in thee have we trusted; let us never be confounded.

Or this Hymn:

TE DEUM.

GOD, we praise thee, and confess

That thou the only Lord

And everlasting Father art,
By all the earth adored.

To thee all angels cry aloud;
To thee the powers on high,
Both cherubim and seraphim,
Continually do cry;

C. M.

O holy, holy, holy Lord,
Whom heavenly hosts obey,
The world is with the glory filled
Of thy majestic sway.

The apostles' glorious company,
And prophets crowned with light,
With all the martyrs' noble host,
Thy constant praise recite.

The holy church throughout the world,
O Lord, confesses thee,
That thou eternal Father art

Of boundless majesty.

L. M.

Awake, my soul, awake my tongue;

Hosanna to the eternal Name,

And all his boundless love proclaim.

See where it shines in Jesus' face,
The brightest image of his grace;
God, in the person of his Son,
Has all his mightiest works outdone.

The spacious earth and spreading flood
Proclaim the wise and powerful God;

And thy rich glories from afar
Sparkle in every rolling star.
But in his looks a glory stands,
The noblest labor of thy hands;
The pleasing lustre of his eyes
Outshines the wonders of the skies.
Grace! 'tis a charming theme;
My thoughts rejoice at Jesus' Name;
Ye angels, dwell upon the sound-
Ye heavens, reflect it to the ground.

Voice of joy, eternal lay;

Alleluia is the anthem

Of the choirs in heavenly day,
Which the angels sing, abiding
In the house of God alway.

8s & 7s.

Alleluia, thou resoundest,
Salem, mother ever blest;
Alleluias without ending,

Fit yon place of gladsome rest;
Exiles, we by Babel's waters
Sit in bondage, and distressed.

Alleluia, we deserve not

Here to chant for evermore;
Alleluia, our transgressions
Make us for a while give o'er,
For the holy time is coming,
Bidding us our sins deplore.

Deity of endless glory,

Hear thy people as they cry;
Grant us all to keep thy sabbath
In our home beyond the sky,-
There to Thee our alleluia

Singing everlastingly. Amen.

THE SCRIPTURES.

The Scriptures may be read in two separate lessons, from the Old and New Testaments, or in such selections as the Minister may choose. It is desirable that the Psalter, whenever used, should be read responsively by the Minister and People.

As often as once a month the Commandments, with responses, as hereafter printed, should be read in the Morning Service, at the close of the lesson, and as often also the Minister shall declare the Faith of the Gospel, in the words of Christ and of his Apostles—thus :
