to have done; And we have done those things which we ought not to have done; And there is no health in
us. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare thou them,
O God, who confess their faults. Restore thou them that are penitent; According
to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord, And grant, O
merciful Father, for his sake; That we may hereafter live a godly righteous, and
sober life, To the glory of thy holy name. Amen. ( II ) O
God, our Father, we have sinned against thee in thought, word and deed. We have

overcome our faults; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

95 O come, let us sing unto
the Lord: let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation. Let us come before
his presence with thanksgiving: and show ourselves glad in him with psalms. For the Lord is a great
God: and a great King above all gods. In his hand are all
the corners of the earth: and the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he
made it: and his hands prepared the dry land. O come, let us
worship, and fall down: and kneel before the Lord our Maker. For he is the Lord our
God: and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. [
Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts: as in the provocation,
and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness; When your fathers tempted
me: proved me, and saw my works. Forty years long was I
grieved with this generation, and said: It is a people that do err in their
hearts, for they have not known my ways; Unto whom I swore in my
wrath: that they should not enter into my rest.] Glory be to the Father:
and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; As it was in the
beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end
. Amen. ( II ) Psalm
100 O be joyful in the Lord,
all ye lands: serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a
song. Be ye sure that the
Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his
people and the sheep of his pasture. O go your way into his
gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him
and speak good of his name. For the Lord is
gracious, his mercy is everlasting and his truth endureth from generation to
generation. Glory be to the Father:
and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; As it was in the
beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end.

1: 68-79 Blessed be the Lord God
of Israel: for he hath visited, and redeemed his people; And hath raised up a
mighty salvation for us: in the house of his servant David; As he spake by the mouth
of his holy prophets: who have been since the world began; That we should be
saved from our enemies: and from the hands of all who hate us; To perform the mercy
promised to our fathers: and to remember his holy covenant; To
perform the oath: which he swore to our forefather Abraham; That he would give us,
that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies: might serve him without
fear; In
holiness and righteousness before him: all the days of our life. And thou, child, shalt be
called the Prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord
to prepare his ways; To
give knowledge of salvation unto his people: for the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy
of our God: whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us; To
give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: and to
guide our feet into the ways of peace. Glory be to the Father:
and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; As it was in the
beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end.

Thou sittest at the right hand of God: in the glory of the father. We believe that thou:
shalt come to be our Judge.
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants: whom thou hast redeemed with

with thy saints: in glory everlasting. O LORD, save thy
people, and bless thine heritage: govern them, and lift them up for ever. Day by day we magnify
thee: and we worship thy name ever world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin: O Lord, have mercy

of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; For
the means of grace, And for the hope of glory.
And, we beseech thee, give us that due sense of all thy mercies, That our
hearts may be unfeignedly thankful, And that we show forth thy praise, Not only
with our lips, but in our lives; By
giving up ourselves to thy service, And by walking before thee in holiness and
righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with thee and
the Holy Spirit be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen. The prayers and
thanksgiving’s may conclude with one of the following: (

most expedient for them; granting us in this world knowledge of thy truth, and
in the world to come life everlasting. Amen. (

and spirit, we may truly and freely serve thee, and in thy service find our
deepest joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (
III ) Heavenly
Father, giver of all good things,
who hast taught us that it is more blessed to give than to receive. We dedicate

earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

us, good Lord, to serve thee as thou deservest; to give and
