enter into and appear in Thy Presence,

may it find grace and come before Thee, and let it not return unto me void,

but as Thou knowest, and canst, and willest. Hear, bow down Thine ear,

C

hearken and consider, understand, listen, hearken, and do.

Deprecation.

AST not Thy servant away in

anger,

nor turn away Thine Eyes, nor hide Thy Face, nor cover Thyself with a cloud, nor shut Thine Ear,

nor forsake me, nor leave me for ever,

nor despise me,

nor be silent, nor slumber,

nor stand afar off, nor cast me away, nor utterly take Thy loving-kindness from me, nor belie Thy Truth,

nor rebuke me in Thine indignation, nor chasten me in Thy displeasure, nor cast me away from Thy Presence, nor reject me from among Thy children, nor take Thy Holy Spirit from me, nor forget me for ever,

nor be wroth very sore,

nor deliver me into the will of mine adversaries, nor consume me because of mine iniquities, nor tarry,

nor gather my soul with sinners.

If by Thy permission we suffer for a while the power of the enemy,

yet let us not in anywise be swallowed up by his insatiable jaws.

Let the lion be conquered by the lamb,
the spirit of violence by feeble flesh.

RE

Pleading.

EMEMBER what my substance is,
dust and ashes,

grass and a flower,

flesh and a wind that passeth away,

I

corruption and the worm.

As a stranger and sojourner upon earth,
inhabiting a house of clay,

whose days are few and evil,
to-day and not to-morrow,

at morning and not till evening,
now and not by and by,
in a body of death,
in a world of corruption,
that lieth in wickedness.

Remember this, O Lord.

Confession.

HAVE sinned;

of a verity, O Lord, and I am made of sins; for even my life maketh it manifest.

I confess it unto Thee, seeing that if I would, I could not conceal it from Thee, O Lord. Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? I am a sinner, of unclean seed,

of an unclean womb.

My mother conceived me in sin;
a root of bitterness,

a shoot of a wild olive-tree.

I have sinned with my fathers;
I have done amiss and dealt wickedly,
I have done perversely, I have committed
wickedness;

I have behaved myself frowardly
in the covenant;

I have cast away the law:
refused instruction;

vexed Thy Holy Spirit ;

walked after my own desires : fallen from one wickedness to another; have not feared Thee;

have not returned;
not even when recalled;

nor when afflicted;
but have hardened my heart;
provoked Thee;

and all this Thou hast seen;

and Thou hast held Thy peace.

In superfluity of naughtiness,
