PRAYERS APPOINTED For the use of the Children of Christ's Hospital, BY THE RIGHT REVEREND FATHER IN GOD, HENRY COMPTON, LATE LORD BISHOP OF LONDON. MORNING PRAYERS. O GOD, my God, early will I seek thee; my soul thirsteth after thee. O all ye works of the Lord, bless ye the Lord, Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace, goodwill towards men.— Amen. Let us Pray, O God of Mercy and Father of all comfort, who of thy merciful goodness hast brought us to the beginning of this day, We, thine unworthy children, beg that the day-spring from on high may now and ever visit and shine upon us; and that pardoning our offences, and continuing to be good unto us, thou wouldst dispose us to a better conformity to thy Laws, and obedience to thy Commandments, through Jesus Christ our Lord and only Redeemer. -Amen. Remember not, Lord, the sins of our youth nor the follies of our childhood; but consider whereof we are made, and from what we are fallen by the transgression of our first parents, and be merciful unto us. O teach us betimes to number our days, that we may apply our hearts early unto wisdom, for Jesus Christ his sake.-Amen.

Amen. EVENING PRAYERS. O Father of Mercies, look upon us of thy great goodness: we have sinned against thee, and are no more worthy to be called thy children. The wantonness and folly of our youth have prevailed upon us; the frailty and stubbornness of our depraved nature have made us to err. O forgive us our sins. We come to thee heavy laden with the weight of this day's transgressions; refresh our drooping spirits, and grant us thy grace so to walk before thee for the future, that it may bring forth fruit meet for repentance, through Jesus Christ our Lord.-Amen. Water, we beseech thee, with the heavenly dew of thy blessing, Christ's Holy Church, particularly this portion of it, in which we live; guide, strengthen and protect it. Bless our most gracious Sovereign Lady Queen Victoria, and all the Royal Family, and all that are in authority under her. Bless this city and every member of it, particularly this foun |
