AN EUCHARISTIC PRAYER.

THE things which I believe to have been

done for me,

which I call to remembrance, for which I
return thanks,

which I remember, of which I put Thee in
remembrance, which I commemorate,

which I offer, or which I pray Thee to offer; of these things make me a partaker, and apply them to me.

By the things which Thou didst, and bearedst, Thy Oblation and Sacrifice,

By Thy emptying Thyself, Thy humbling

Thyself,

Thy Conception, Thy Incarnation, By Thy Birth, Thy Circumcision, the first-fruits of Thy Blood,

By Thy Baptism, Thy Fasting,
By Thy Temptation, Thy Homelessness,
Thy Hunger, Thy Thirst,

By Thy Weariness, Thy Sleeplessness :

By Thy Injuries, Thy Patience, Thy Endurance,

By Thy apprehension as a thief, Thy bonds, By Gethsemane, Gabbatha, Golgotha, By Thy obedience unto Death, Thy endurance, even unto the Cross:

Let my prayer ascend to Thee:

Turn not away Thine Ear from us. As Thou didst deliver our Fathers, even so deliver us, O Lord!

As Thou didst deliver Noah from the Flood, Abraham from Ur of the Chaldees, Isaac from being offered as a sacrifice, Lot from Sodom,

Jacob from Laban and from Esau, Joseph from the calumnies of his mistress, from the prison,

Job from his trials,

Moses from Pharaoh, and from being stoned, Thy people from the Red Sea, and from Babylon,

David from Saul, Goliath, Keilah, Ahitophel, Absalom, Doeg, Sheba,

Elias from Jezebel,

Hezekiah from Rabshakeh

and from the sickness,
Esther from Haman,

Joash from Athaliah,

Jeremiah from the pit,

the Three Children from the furnace,

Jonah from the belly of the whale,

the Disciples from the storm, Peter from the prison of Herod, Paul from the shipwreck, from the stoning, from the viper;

Even so deliver us, O Lord, that put
our trust in Thee.

252 A PREPARATION TO THANKSGIVING.

PREPARATION TO THANKSGIVING.

BE

E Thou exalted, Lord, in Thine Own
strength;

So will we sing and praise Thy power.
All Thy works praise Thee, O Lord,
and Thy Saints give thanks unto Thee.
O Lord, open Thou my lips;

and my mouth shall shew forth Thy praise.

GROUNDS OF HOPE.

N Thee, O Lord, have I trusted;

Thou hast been my hope even from my
mother's breasts;

even from my youth.

Thy word, in which Thou hast caused me
to hope.

My flesh also shall rest in hope.

There is hope in Thine end.

The valley of Achor a door of hope.

Hope maketh not ashamed. We are saved by hope. The God of Hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing.

Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him. Thou that art the Saviour of them that put their trust in Thee:

We have hoped in Thy Holy Name,
in the covering of Thy wings,
in Thy shadow, under Thy feathers.
Thou, Lord, art my Hope,

The Hope of all the ends of the earth.
