[LET US PRAY.]

LL-SEEING GOD, who dwellest in the midst of light, in whose holy presence even the angels are veiled: We praise Thee that the justice which condemns, is magnified by the mercy which redeems, and that all Thy perfections meet and are glorified in Thine infinite and everlasting love.

We praise Thee that Thy law is honored in the earth, by many souls in generous sentiments, by many lives in noble deeds, and that the Church of the Redeemer is enlarging the triumph of righteousness and charity.

We praise Thee for the prophecy that the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdom of the LORD and of his Christ; and most heartily we pray,

Thy kingdom come, O Lord our God.

Look down from heaven, O LORD, and behold from the habitation of Thy holiness and of Thy glory: The dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. Thou lookest for justice-but, behold! oppression: for righteousness-but, behold! a cry.

We believe in Thee, O LORD, and trust Thou wilt compass us with songs of deliverance. Thou doest all things well, and makest all things work together for good to them that love Thee; yet the voice ever goeth up from Thine altar, How long, O LORD, holy and true? Thou hast put the times and the seasons in

should pray for as we ought; but the spirit itself maketh intercession for us, with yearnings which cannot be uttered.

Bow down Thine ear, O Lord, and hearken to our prayer.

¶ Supplication.

LET the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, and all desires and thoughts which are alien to Christ, perish from the land.

From unreasonable and wicked men, and from the throne of iniquity that frameth mischief by a law,

Good Lord, deliver us.

From principalities and powers which are not subject to Thee-from the rulers of the darkness of this world-and from spiritual wickedness in high places,

Good Lord, deliver us.

Thy kingdom, O LORD, is established in righteousness: Let Thy deliverance begin in our own hearts, and Thy judgment at the house of GOD.

From doubt or denial of Thy righteous government from the carnal mind, which is enmity against Thee-from the delusions of selfishness, from the coldness of indifference, and from a dead faith,

Mercifully deliver us, O Lord our Redeemer.

Revive Thy work in our midst, by awakening us to a sense of religion personal to ourselves. Open Thou our ears, that we may hear

ing in all Thy works. Open Thou our eyes into undimmed vision of the beauty of holiness, that our souls may feel its renewing power. Breathe upon our faith, that it may become a quickening spirit, and upon our hope, that it may become a living trust. May Thy holy word be within us as the ever-burning fire on the altar of old, and our speech continually glow with refining and ennobling thoughts.

Help us to honor Thee in all the duties of life. Not slothful in business, may we be fervent in spirit, serving the LORD. May our homes be sanctuaries of peace and good-will, opening into the kingdom of heaven, and the angels pass through our hearts in their mission of sympathy and charity.

Deliver us, O LORD, from the sin and woe of striving against Thee. Save us, we beseech Thee, from laying up sorrow against a cloudy and bitter day; and in the darkest night of our experience, and in the dark valley, may we walk in the starlight of Thy presence, and feel our supplication transformed into a psalm of praise.

Hear us, O Lord, and have mercy upon us: 0 Lord, be Thou our Helper.

Thanksgiving.

HOU art, O GOD, the fountain of light and life, and gratitude traces every stream of happiness to its source in Thee.

All that memory testifies, of joy experienced

forth in Thy hopeful and helpful promise, meet in this hour of devotion, to exalt our souls into thankfulness and praise.

O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.

Thou hast called upon us to love Thee with all the heart and mind; yet who are we, that Thou shouldst seek to win the regard of all our powers! and what are we, that Thou shouldst desire or accept our love at all!

We praise Thee for having made every thing beautiful in its tinie, and for all things bountiful in our time of need.

We bless Thee for reason and conscience, for the generosities and joys of social life, for freedom of worship, and for the liberties of the land.

Above all, we adore Thee for the merciful mission of Thy beloved Son, for the means of grace, for light in darkness, for strength in weakness, for comfort in sorrow, and for the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith in the Redeemer's triumph over death and hell.

Thanks be to God who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

¶ After a Hymn, the Congregation will rise, and join the Minister in the following, in verses alternately. Another

Selection may be substituted.

THE LORD reigneth: let the people tremble: Let all

He maketh darkness His secret place: His pavilion round about Him is dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

He maketh the clouds His chariot, the winds His messengers, and His ministers a flaming fire.

In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my GoD: He heard my voice out of His holy temple, and my cry came before Him.

He bowed the heavens also, and came down, and darkness was under His feet.

Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD MY GOD, Thou art exceeding glorious: Thou art clothed with honor and majesty.

Thou coverest Thyself with light as with a garment, and spreadest out the heavens like a curtain.

To the merciful Thou showest Thyself merciful, and righteous to the upright: To the pure Thou wilt appear pure, and wrathful to the froward.

Let my sentence come forth from Thy presence, O LORD.

As for me, I will behold Thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied when I awake with Thy likeness.

Show Thy marvellous loving-kindness, O LORD: Guard me as the apple of the eye: Hide me under the shadow of Thy wings.

-The LORD reigneth: let the earth rejoice: Let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. Clouds and dark
