LORD Jesus Christ, Who art the Light of the blind, the Way of the erring, and the Resurrection of the dead; Enlighten the darkness of my heart and mind, bring me to repentance, and make me to live in Thee and for Thee, Whom, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, we worship and glorify, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

HE glorious majesty of the Lord our God

our hands upon us: O prosper Thou our handywork. Amen.

The Hymn.

HRIST, Whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the only Light,

Sun of Righteousness, arise,

Triumph o'er the shades of night;
Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, in my heart appear.
Dark and cheerless is the morn
Unaccompanied by Thee;
Joyless is the day's return

Till Thy mercy's beams I see,
Till they inward light impart,
Glad my eyes, and warm my heart.

Visit then this soul of mine;

Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;

Fill me, Radiancy Divine;

Scatter all my unbelief;

More and more Thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day. Amen.

GOD, Who hast defended me by Thy gracious power through that part of the day which is past; Grant that through that which remains I may abide blameless in Thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil: For Thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.

The Hymn.

COME, Holy Ghost, eternal God,

Proceeding from above,

Both from the Father and the Son,
The God of peace and love;

Visit our minds, into our hearts
Thy heavenly grace inspire;
That truth and godliness we may
Pursue with full desire.

O Holy Ghost, into our minds
Send down Thy heav'nly light;
Kindle our hearts with fervent zeal,
To serve God day and night.

Our weakness strengthen and confirm,
(For, Lord, thou know'st us frail ;)
That neither devil, world, nor flesh,
Against us may prevail.

Put back our enemy far from us,
And help us to obtain

Peace in our hearts with God and man,
(The best, the truest gain.)

Of strife and of dissension
Dissolve, O Lord, the bands,

And knit the knots of

peace

and love

Throughout all Christian lands.

Grant us the grace that we may know
The Father of all might,

That we of His beloved Son

May gain the blissful sight;

And that we may with perfect faith
Ever acknowledge Thee,

The Spirit of Father, and of Son,
One God in Persons Three.

SATURDAY EVENING.

Praise the Lord, O my soul;

And all that is within me, praise His holy Name.

LORD, my God and Father, blessed be Thy Name for ever; Dispose my heart, open my lips, and guide me by Thy Holy Spirit, that my prayers and praises may be acceptable in Thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Psalm.

PSALM LXXXIV.

HOW amiable are Thy dwellings : Thou

Lord of hosts!

My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the Lord my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.

Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young even Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.

Blessed are they that dwell in Thy house : they will be alway praising Thee.

Blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee in whose heart are Thy ways.

:

Who going through the vale of misery use it for a well and the pools are filled with water.

:

They will go from strength to strength : and unto the God of gods appeareth every one of them in Sion.

O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: hearken, O God of Jacob.

Behold, O God our defender upon the face of Thine Anointed.

and look

For one day in Thy courts: is better than a thousand.

I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God: than to dwell in the tents of ungodliness.

For the Lord God is a light and defence: the Lord will give grace and worship, and

no good thing shall He withhold from them that live a godly life.

O Lord God of hosts: blessed is the man that putteth his trust in Thee.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.

a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think: but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

For

as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office; so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.-Rom. xii. 1-5.

Lord, have mercy.

Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.
