for protecting me from dangers, and for the food and the comforts which I have received during the day from thy hand. Truly in thee I live, and breathe, and have my being, and thy visitation sustains my life.

O Lord, the searcher of all hearts, give me grace to understand my ways, and to know my transgressions. In every portion of my time, O Lord, I sin against thee, and come far short of thy glory. This day, O Lord, I have sinned against thee: I have done things which I should not have done, and I have neglected things which I should have attended to. Good Lord, have mercy upon me, and wash me this evening in the blood of Christ from all the sins which I have this day committed.

O God, I bless thee for providing a way by which sins may be forgiven, and thy favour enjoyed. Glory to thy name, O God, that Jesus Christ gave himself a ransom for sinners, and that he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Through him, O Lord, I approach thee, through him I implore the forgiveness of my sins, and through him I beseech thee to grant me thy peace, and the light of thy countenance.

Gracious Father, may a sense of my own weakness and sinfulness lead me to true humility of mind in thy sight, and to a more earnest watchfulness over myself, that I may not fall into sin. May I walk humbly and circumspectly before thee every day of my life. May I fear to offend thee; may I hate every thing that is sinful; and may I flee the appearance of evil. Strengthen me, O Lord, for I am weak; guide me, O Lord, for I am ignorant: may thy Spirit ever be within me; and may thy right hand be upon me.

O Lord, I thank thee for keeping me in some measure in thy fear this day. I bless thee for having enabled me to set thee before me in my various duties, and to seek to honour and glorify thy name. unto me, O Lord, not unto me, but unto thy name, be all the honour and glory. O Lord, I lament, that with these desires, I come so far short of thy holy will: alas, O Lord, when I would do good, sin is often

present with me, and brings me into subjection. But, O Lord, thou knowest all things, and knowest that the desires of my heart are only towards thee. O my Father, forgive all my sins, I beseech thee, through Jesus Christ thy Son, and sanctify me wholly to thyself through thy Holy Spirit dwelling in me.

Father, into thy hands I commend myself this night. To thee, O Lord, the darkness and the light are one. Thou, the Keeper of Israel, slumberest not nor sleepest. Watch over me, O my Father, through this night, and graciously defend me from every harm. Be pleased, O Lord, to grant me, quiet and refreshing sleep through the silent hours of the night. May my thoughts, O Lord, be on thee when I lie down, may my thoughts be on thee should I awake in the night watches, and when I awake in the morning may my first thoughts turn to thee.

O Lord God, how precious is thy favour: what a blessedness it is to lie down in peace with thee: what a happiness it is to awake in the enjoyment of thy smile! Glory be to thee, my God, for having cast such a lot for me, in thy Son Jesus Christ. Through his atonement and his intercession 1 look unto thee, and hope in thy mercy. That good work, O Lord, which thou hast begun in me, be pleased to continue, and to increase until the end; and at the coming of Christ, may I be presented before his presence with exceeding joy, and be crowned with everlasting glory. Thus, O Lord, fulfil unto me thy rich and gracious promises to poor sinners through thy Beloved Son, my dear and glorious Redeemer.

O my Father, I adore thee anew for all the mercies of this day; cleanse me, O Lord, from all the sins I have committed, and take me under thy gracious care through the night. O my Father, never leave me : O my Father, never forsake me. Bless me in time, and bless me in eternity, for the sake of Jesus Christ. O Lord, in Jesus my Redeemer, smile on me: ( smile and shine on me now, and for ever, and for evermore: amen, and amen.
