A

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.

LLELUIA!

Fifth Sunday.

Alleluia.

Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power,

unto the Lord our God!

Alleluia!

Praise our God, all ye servants of his, both small and great!

Alleluia!

For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth! let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him. Amen.

Or this Hymn:

ALLELUIA.

ALLELUIA, song of sweetness,
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:

THE CHRISTIAN FAITH.

HE Law was given by Moses, but grace and
Law was

truth came by Jesus Christ. St. John i. 17. Our Lord declares

This is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. St. John xvii. 3.

Our Lord also declares

Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. St. Matthew xxviii. 19.

St. Peter, for himself and the rest of the Apostles, confesses

We believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. St. John vi. 69.

St. John says―

This is the commandment of God, that we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another. 1 St. John iii. 23.

St. Paul says

As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Rom. viii. 14.-1 Cor. xiii. 13.

CLOSING PRAYERS.

At the close of the Sermon, whenever the previous Prayers have been read, the following may be the concluding Prayer:

ALMIGHTY

LMIGHTY God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplications unto thee, and hast promised by

thy beloved Son, that where two or three are gathered together in his name, thou wilt grant their requests; fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of thy servants, as may be most expedient for them, granting us in this world knowledge of thy truth, and in the world to come life everlasting. Amen.

Whenever the previous Prayers, on p. 18, have not been read, the Minister may say :

The Lord be with you;

Ans. And with thy spirit.

Min. Let us pray.

O Lord, show thy mercy upon us;
Ans. And grant us thy salvation.

Min. O God, make clean our hearts within us;
Ans. And take not thy Holy Spirit from us.

Then the Minister and People shall say the Lord's Prayer.
UR Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed he

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 trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

After the Hymn, which should be sung by Choir and Congregation, one of the Benedictions shall be given.

BENEDICTIONS.

THE grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost,

be with us all evermore.

Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen.

The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds, through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work, to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Grace be with you, mercy and peace from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all. Amen.
