OUT

UT of the deep have I called unto Thee, O LORD:
LORD, hear my voice.

O let Thine ears consider well: the voice of my complaint.

If Thou, LORD, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss : O LORD, who may abide it ?

For there is mercy with Thee: therefore shalt Thou be feared.

I look for the LORD, my soul doth wait for Him : in His word is my trust.

My soul fleeth unto the LORD: before the morning watch, I say, before the morning watch.

O Israel, trust in the LORD: for with the LORD there is mercy and with Him is plenteous redemption. And He shall redeem Israel: from all his sins. Glory be to the FATHER, &c.

As it was in the beginning, &c.

BLES

LESSED be the LORD GOD of Israel : for He hath visited, and redeemed His people.

And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us: in the house of His servant David;

As He spake by the mouth of His holy Prophets : which have been since the world began;

That we should be saved from our enemies and from the hands of all that hate us;

To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers: and to remember His holy Covenant;

To perform the oath which He sware to our forefather Abraham : that He would give us;

That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve Him without fear;

:

:

In holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.

And thou, Child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest for thou shalt go before the face of the LORD to prepare His ways;

To give knowledge of salvation unto His people: for the remission of their sins,

Through the tender mercy of our GOD: whereby the Day-spring from on high hath visited us;

To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Glory be to the FATHER, &c.
As it was in the beginning, &c.

A General Confession.

To be said by all, kneeling.

ALMIGHTY and most merciful FATHER; We have erred and strayed from Thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against Thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things which we ought not to have done; And there is no health in us. But Thou, O LORD, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare Thou them, O GOD, which confess their faults. Restore Thou them that are penitent: According to Thy promises declared unto

mankind in CHRIST JESU our LORD.

And grant, O

most merciful FATHER, for His sake; That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, To the glory of Thy holy Name. Amen.

LORD, we beseech Thee, mercifully hear our prayers, and spare all those who confess their sins unto Thee; that they, whose consciences by sin are accused, by Thy merciful pardon may be absolved; through CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

Our FATHER, &c.

O LORD, open Thou our lips:

And our mouth shall show forth Thy praise.
The LORD's Name be praised:

From the rising up of the sun unto the going down thereof.

Into Thy hands, O LORD, we commend our spirits: For Thou hast redeemed us, O Lord, Thou God of truth.

(Collect for the Day.)

GOD, the GOD of the spirits of all flesh, we humbly beseech Thee to accept our intercessions in behalf of all men. We pray for Thy universal Church, that it may be guided by Thy HOLY SPIRIT in the way of truth and peace. O LORD, save the Queen. Bless Thy servants the clergy, and grant that they may shine like lights in the world, and adorn the doctrine of GOD our SAVIOUR in all things. We commend, O LORD, to Thy Fatherly goodness our relations, friends, and neighbours, and all who desire our prayers: (especially

-.) Succour the poor and needy; bind up the broken-hearted; have mercy on the sick and dying;

E

and help us by Thy grace to prepare ourselves daily for the hour of death; through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

LORD, have mercy upon us.

Christ, have mercy upon us. LORD, have mercy upon us.

WE

Let us pray.

E humbly beseech Thee, O FATHER, mercifully to look upon our infirmities; and for the glory of Thy Name turn from us all those evils that we most righteously have deserved, and grant, that in all our troubles we may put our whole trust and confidence in Thy mercy, and evermore serve Thee in holiness and pureness of living, to Thy honour and glory; through our only Mediator and Advocate, JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

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.

Psalm cii. 25-28. Initio Tu, Domine.

THOU, LORD, in the beginning hast laid the founda

:

tion of the earth and the heavens are the work of Thy hands.

They shall perish, but Thou shalt endure they all shall wax old as doth a garment.

And as a vesture shalt Thou change them, and they shall be changed: but Thou art the same, and Thy years shall not fail.

The children of Thy servants shall continue and their seed shall stand fast in Thy sight.

Glory be to the FATHER, &c.

Psalm xix. Coeli enarrant.

HE Heavens declare the glory of GoD and the firmament showeth His handy-work.

:

One day telleth another and one night certifieth another.

There is neither speech nor language: but their voices are heard among them.

:

Their sound is gone out into all lands and their words into the ends of the world.

:

In them hath He set a tabernacle for the Sun which cometh forth as a Bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a Giant to run his course.
