Beatitudes.

BLESSED are the poor in spirit: for theirs is

the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peace-makers; for they shall be called the children of God.

Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Or this Hymn:

COME, YE DISCONSOLATE.

P. M.

COME, ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish;

Come, at the shrine of God fervently kneel; Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish ;

Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.

Joy of the desolate, light of the straying,

Hope, when all others die, fadeless and pure, Here speaks the Comforter, in God's name saying, Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure.

Here see the bread of life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, living and pure; Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing, Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure.

THE EXPOSITION OR ADDRESS.

This portion of the Service should refer to the Scriptures that have been read, and is designed to occupy about fifteen minutes. At the close, the Minister will say, "Let us pray;" and the Silent Prayer shall continue a minute or two, after which, without any announcement, shall follow the Lord's Prayer, or some voluntary in like spirit.

UR Father, who art in heaven,

Hallowed' be thy 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 debts as we forgive our

debtors;

And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,

CONGREGATIONAL HYMN.

This shall be named by the Minister, with the tune, without being read; and it should be, both in words and music, suited to Congregational singing.

Good Lord, deliver us.
