holy Church, that every member of the same, in his vocation and ministry, may truly and godly serve Thee; through our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. Amen.

Evening.

Almighty and everlasting GOD, Who, of Thy tender love towards mankind, hast sent Thy SON, our SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, to take upon Him our flesh, and to suffer death upon the cross, that all mankind should follow the example of His great humility; Mercifully grant, that we may both follow the example of His patience, and also be made partakers of His resurrection; through the same JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

O Almighty GoD, Who out of the mouths of babes and sucklings hast ordained strength, and madest infants to glorify Thee by their deaths; Mortify and kill all vices in us, and so strengthen us by Thy grace, that by the innocency of our lives, and constancy of our faith even unto death, we may glorify Thy holy Name; through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

SATURDAY.
Morning.

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.

O Almighty LORD, and everlasting GOD, vouchsafe, we beseech Thee, to direct, sanctify, and govern, both our hearts and bodies, in the ways of Thy laws, and in the works of Thy commandments; that through Thy most mighty protection, both here and ever, we may be preserved in body and soul; through our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. Amen.

Evening.

O Almighty God, Who hast knit together Thine elect in one communion and fellowship, in the mystical body of Thy SON CHRIST our LORD; Grant us grace so to follow Thy blessed Saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those unspeakable joys which Thou hast prepared for them that unfeignedly love Thee; through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

Assist us mercifully, O LORD, in these our supplications and prayers, and dispose the way of Thy servants towards the attainment of everlasting salvation ; that, among all the changes and chances of this mortal life, they may ever be defended by Thy most gracious and ready help; through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. Amen.

Again the dawn gives warning meet
The holy dues to pay;

And with a fresh thanksgiving greet
The fresh return of day:

But from the face of CHRIST there fled

A darker night away;

His glorious Rising from the dead

Eclipsed the morning ray.

The glories which each night conceals

Each rising sun restores;

The soul the Mighty Maker feels,

And in His work explores:

But CHRIST, of hearts the unsetting Light,

A better radiance pours;

In Him the FATHER'S Image bright

The gazing soul adores.

D

O ever-blessed Three in One,

Give light and guidance true;

What Thou forbidd'st give strength to shun, And what Thou bidd'st, to do.

II.

Glory to Thee, Who safe hast kept,
And hast refreshed us whilst we slept :
Grant, LORD, when we from death shall wake,
We may of endless life partake.

Our mispent time may we redeem,
And each new day our last esteem;
Our talent use with holy care,
And for the Judgment-day prepare.

Direct, control, suggest, this day,
All we design, or do, or say;

Guard the first springs of thought and will,

And with Thyself our spirits fill.

Praise GOD, from Whom all blessings flow,

Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly Host,
Praise FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST.

III.

O FATHER, though the anxious fear
May cloud to-morrow's doubtful way,
Nor fear nor doubt shall enter here,

All shall be Thine at least to-day.

We will not bring divided hearts
To worship at Thy sacred shrine;
But each unholy thought departs,

And leaves the temple wholly Thine.
Not now on Zion's height alone

Thy favoured worshipper may dwell,
Nor where, at sultry noon, Thy SON
Sat weary by the patriarch's well.

From every place beneath the skies,
The grateful song, the fervent prayer,
The incense of the heart, may rise

To heaven, and find acceptance there.
To Thee shall age, with snowy hair,

And strength and beauty, bend the knee,
And childhood lisp, with reverent air,
Its praises and its prayers to Thee.

Thy SPIRIT on our hearts shall move,
Shall softly sweep their trembling strings;
And make the harmony of love

Meet music for the King of kings.

Evening.
I.

O Thou true Life of all that live,
Who dost unmoved all motion sway;

Who dost the morn and evening give,
And through its changes guid'st the day;
