MORNING PRAYER.

At the beginning of Morning Prayer, the Minister shall read one or more of the following sentences of Scripture :

OUR

UR help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.

Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you. The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.

Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy Name, give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake.

The hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit, and they who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

I will arise and go to my Father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at

hand.

When the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness which he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.

I acknowledge my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me.

Hide thy face from my sins; and blot out all mine iniquities.

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God,to walk in his laws which he set before us.

Likewise I say unto you, There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

Hear what Christ the Lord said: He that heareth my word and believeth on Him that sent me hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come unto him.

Verily I say unto you, that in this place one is greater than the temple, Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?

The Lord is risen indeed. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.

Then, the People standing, the Minister shall say:
O Lord, open thou our lips.

Answer. And our mouth shall show forth thy praise.

Minister. Glory be to the Father, Almighty God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Ans. As it was in the beginning, is now,

shall be, world without end. Amen.

Min. Praise ye the Lord.

Ans. The Lord's name be praised.

and ever

Then shall be said or sung one of the following Psalms, for the proper Sunday of the month, unless otherwise ordered; and at the close of every such Psalm, this Doxology:

NOW

OW unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God;

Be honor and glory, through Jesus Christ, for ever and for ever. Amen.

Or else, the

"Gloria Patri," as above.

FIRST MORNING SONG.

IN THE ORDER OF THE MONTH.

First Sunday.

Venite, exultemus Domino.

COME, let us sing unto the Lord; let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and show ourselves glad in him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God; and a great King above all gods.

In his hand are all the corners of the earth; and the strength of the hills is his also.

The sea is his, and he made it; and his hands prepared the dry land.

O come, let us worship and fall down, and kneel before the Lord our Maker.

For he is the Lord our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; let the whole earth stand in awe of him.

For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth; and with righteousness to judge the world, and the people with his truth.

Closing with this Doxology, or with the Gloria Patri: Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God;

Be honor and glory, through Jesus Christ, for ever and ever. Amen.

COME, loud anthems let us sing,
Loud thanks to our Almighty King;
For we our voices high should raise,
When our salvation's rock we praise.

Into his presence let us haste,
To thank him for his favors past;
To him address, in joyful songs,
The praise that to his Name belongs.

The depths of earth are in his hand,
Her secret wealth at his command;
The strength of hills, that threat the skies,
Subjected to his empire lies.

The rolling ocean's vast abyss.
By the same sovereign right is his;
'Tis moved by his almighty hand,
That formed and fixed the solid land.

O let us to his courts repair,
And bow with adoration there;
Down on our knees devoutly all
Before the Lord our Maker fall.

Second Sunday.

Jubilate Deo.

BE joyful in the Lord, all ye lands: serve the
Lord with gladness, and come before his pres-

ence with a song.

Be ye sure that the Lord he is God; it is he that
