O ALMIGHTY GOD, Heavenly FATHER, who hast renewed unto us our lives, and brought us before We draw near unto Thee in the Thee in peace; name of Thy SON JESUS CHRIST, who is the resurrection and the life, by whom Thou hast caused the light of eternal life to shine forth upon the world; We beseech Thee to give us hearts duly sensible of Thy goodness, and of Thy love in bringing us at this time into Thy presence, to offer unto Thee our morning song of adoration and praise. Thou hast crowned our lives with Thy mercies: Thou art the Saviour and Benefactor of our souls and bodies: Thou hast given us rest during the night past, and hast brought us again to the worship of Thine adorable name; Wherefore we glorify Thee, we give thanks unto Thee, O LORD God of our salvation. We thank Thee for this, Thine Holy Sabbath, which Thou hast blessed and hallowed for man's use in the keeping of which, we commemorate THY rest from the works of Creation, in which Thy glory was revealed.

O Thou, who hast given us these desires, and grace to hallow Thine holy sabbath, and to delight therein; sanctify, we pray Thee, the keeping of it by Thine own most gracious presence; come unto us; make Thine abode with us; and so fill us with the HOLY GHOST the Comforter, that the fire of Thy love may consume in us all the sinful lusts of the flesh and of the mind, and that being wholly given up to Thee and devoted to Thy service, we may be |
