Thou hast set them their bounds which they shall not pass: neither turn again to cover the earth. He sendeth the springs into the rivers which run among the hills.

:

All beasts of the field drink thereof and the wild asses quench their thirst.

Beside them shall the fowls of the air have their habitation and sing among the branches. He watereth the hills from above: the earth is filled with the fruit of Thy works.

:

He bringeth forth grass for the cattle and green herb for the service of men ;

:

That He may bring food out of the earth, and wine that maketh glad the heart of man and oil to make him a cheerful countenance, and bread to strengthen man's heart.

The trees of the Lord also are full of sap even the cedars of Libanus which He hath planted; Wherein the birds make their nests: and the fir-trees are a dwelling for the stork.

The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats: and so are the stony rocks for the conies.

He appointed the moon for certain seasons : and the sun knoweth his going down.

Thou makest darkness that it may be night : wherein all the beasts of the forest do move.

The lions roaring after their prey do seek their meat from God.

The sun ariseth, and they get them away together and lay them down in their dens.

:

Man goeth forth to his work, and to his labour until the evening.

:

O Lord, how manifold are Thy works : in wisdom hast Thou made them all; the earth is full of Thy riches.

So is the great and wide sea also: wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

There go the ships, and there is that Leviathan whom Thou hast made to take his pastime therein.

:

:

These wait all upon Thee that Thou mayest give them meat in due season.

When Thou givest it them they gather it and when Thou openest Thy hand they are filled with good.

When Thou hidest Thy face they are troubled : when Thou takest away their breath they die, and are turned again to their dust.

When Thou lettest Thy breath go forth they shall be made and Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

:

:

The glorious Majesty of the Lord shall endure for ever the Lord shall rejoice in His works. The earth shall tremble at the look of Him if He do but touch the hills, they shall smoke.

:

I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live : I will praise my God while I have my being. And so shall my words please Him my joy

shall be in the Lord.

:

As for sinners, they shall be consumed out of the earth, and the ungodly shall come to an end praise thou the Lord, O my soul, praise the Lord.

:

Glory be to the Father, &c.
As it was in the beginning, &c.

LESSON.

ON the seventh day GOD ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it He had rested from all His work which GOD created and made.

I AM the Resurrection and the Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die.

:

Now is CHRIST risen from the dead, and become the first-fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by Man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in CHRIST shall all be made alive.

If ye then be risen with CHRIST, seek those things which are above, where CHRIST sitteth on the right hand of GoD. Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth.

Thanks be to the Lord.

BELIEVE in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And of all things visible and invisible:

And in one Lord JESUS CHRIST, the only-begotten Son of God, Begotten of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of very God, Begotten, not made, Being of one

substance with the Father; By Whom all things were made, Who for us men, and for our salvation came down from heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, And was made man, And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures, And ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead: Whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost, The Lord and Giver of life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, Who spake by the Prophets. And I believe one Catholick and Apostolick Church. I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins, And I look for the Resurrection of the dead, And the life of the world to come. Amen.

Let us pray.

Then let all, kneeling, pray.

GRANT, O LORD, that as we are baptized

into the death of Thy blessed Son our Saviour JESUS CHRIST, SO by continual mortifying our corrupt affections we may be buried with Him; and that through the grave, and gate of death, we may pass to our joyful resurrection; for His merits, Who died, and was buried, and rose again for us, Thy Son JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

MOST merciful Father, we beseech Thee to send upon Thy servants, the clergy, Thy heavenly blessing; that they may be clothed with righteousness, and that Thy Word spoken by them may have full success. Grant also to

us such grace meekly to hear and receive what they shall deliver, that in all our thoughts and words and deeds we may seek Thy glory, and the increase of Thy kingdom: through JESUS. CHRIST OUR LORD. Amen.

LORD, bless all our friends and relations,

the Church planted in this land, and Thy universal Church scattered throughout the whole world; bless Thy servant our Bishop; bless him also, O LORD, who ministers in this parish; bless all our superiors, teachers and benefactors; and grant that they and we may meet in Thy heavenly kingdom; through JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. Amen.

THE grace of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. Amen.
