Concluding Prayer.

WE thank thee, heavenly Father, for permitting us, at this time, to wait upon thee in thine earthly courts. Accept, we beseech thee, the prayers and praises of thine unworthy fervants. Pardon the imperfections which attend our beft fer

vicis. Affift us in the duties which further

lie before us. Enlighten our minds by thy holy Spirit, that we may fee the truth as it is in Jefus, receive it in the love of it, be guided thereby in the whole course of our lives, and attain to eternal falvation through thy mercy in Jefus Chrift, in whose words we conclude our prayers:

OUR Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; Give us day by day our daily bread; and forgive us our trefpaffes, as we forgive them that trespass against us: And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
