Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

THE OFFERING.

Let the Minister, having made such ANNOUNCEMENTS as are needful and fitting, then say, Let us make our Offering to Almighty God for (naming the cause). If the choir sing a Canticle or Anthem it should be one proper for the occasion. When the gifts are brought to the Table, the Minister shall dedicate them to God with a brief prayer for His blessing; the churchofficers who have gathered the gifts standing, and the congregation bowing down.

¶ On special occasions the Offering may be made after the Sermon.

A PRAYER OF DEDICATION.

ALL gracious God, who of Thine infinite love didst give Thine only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins and rise again for our justification, and hast made us partakers of the divine nature through the gift of the Holy Spirit; Accept the Offering which we now present unto Thee and grant that our bodies, souls, and spirits may be unto Thee a living sacrifice, holy and well-pleasing in Thy sight; and that going forth in Thy strength, we may be able truly to serve Thee, and in all things to obey Thy will; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

:

Then let the People stand up and sing

A HYMN.

Then the Minister, taking his text from the Word of God, and remembering that it is his office to instruct men in divine Truth, to hold forth Christ crucified as their Saviour, and to incite them to Christian faith and duty, shall preach

THE SERMON.

The Sermon being ended, let the People stand up and sing
A HYMN.

Then shall the Minister say,

Let us pray.

The People reverently bowing down, the Minister shall lead them in their devotions, using if he so desire one or more of the following Prayers, ending with the LORD'S PRAYER:

THE CLOSING PRAYER.

GRANT, we beseech Thee, Almighty God, that the words, which we have heard this day with our outward ears, may through Thy grace be so grafted inwardly in our hearts, that they may bring forth in us the fruit of good living, to the honour and praise of Thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

LE

ET Thy Gospel, O Lord, come unto us not in word only but in power, and in much assurance, and in the Holy Ghost, that we may be guided into all truth, and strengthened unto all obedience and enduring of Thy will with joyfulness; that, abounding in the work of faith, and the labour of love, and the patience of hope, we may finally be made partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

LORD Jesus Christ, who hast died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Thee; Be Thou our strength every morning, and our rest when the shadows of the evening are stretched out, O Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

GOD, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed; Give unto Thy servants that peace which the world cannot give; that both our hearts may be set to obey Thy commandments, and also that by Thee, we, being defended from the fear of our enemies, may pass our time in rest and quietness; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.

ETERNAL and ever-blessed God, who art the Author of

our life, and the End of our pilgrimage; We beseech Thee so to guide us by Thy Word and Spirit, amid all perils and temptations, that we may not wander from Thy way, nor stumble upon the dark mountains; but may finish our course in safety, and come to our eternal rest in Thee; through the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

LORD God, the Light of the faithful, the Strength of those who labour, and the Repose of the blessed dead; We bless Thee for all Thy saints who have witnessed in their lives a good confession, and especially for those dear unto us who have fallen asleep in Jesus. Grant us grace, O Lord, so to follow their good example, that we may be one with them in spirit, and finally share in their eternal rest; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

OUR

THE LORD'S PRAYER.

To be said by Minister and People.

UR Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil : For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

¶The People remaining in the posture of prayer, the Minister shall pronounce

THE BENEDICTION.

THE grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.

¶ Or this:

THE peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of His son Jesus Christ our Lord; and the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be amongst you, and remain with you always. Amen.

After the Benediction it is fitting that the Minister and People remain in silent prayer, beseeching God that none may leave His House without a blessing.

Note that the last Hymn may be omitted, or its place in the Service changed, according to the wish and usage of any church.

A BRIEF

ORDER OF WORSHIP.

¶ This Service is intended for the use of any company of Christians, gathered together to worship God, on land or at sea, where there are no regular Church Ordinances, or where a Minister of the Gospel is not present.

¶ If it be desired, the Service may begin with the Singing of a Hymn; after which the Leader, standing, may read one or more of the following SENTENCES taken from the HOLY SCRIPTURES.

SENTENCES.

MORNING.

THE Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to

all that call upon Him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear Him; He also will hear their cry, and will save them.

Our help is in the Name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Where two or three are gathered together in My Name, saith the Lord Jesus, there am I in the midst of them.

This is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us.

Having these promises, let us draw near to the throne of grace with true hearts, in full assurance of faith.

My voice shalt Thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up.

EVENING.

HE that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Lord, I cry unto Thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto Thee.

Let my prayer be set forth before Thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge, and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.

Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.

¶ Then shall he say,

Let us pray.

Let all the company bow down, following the Prayer in their hearts, and, if they so desire, joining audibly in the CONFESSION OF SINS and the LORD'S PRAYER.

PRAYERS.

ALMIGHTY God, unto whom all hearts are open, all

desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid; Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of Thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love Thee, and worthily magnify Thy holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

MOST holy and merciful Father; We acknowledge and

confess in Thy Presence: Our sinful nature prone to evil and slothful in good; And all our shortcomings and offenses against Thee. Thou alone knowest how often we have sinned: In wandering from Thy ways; In wasting Thy gifts; In forgetting Thy love. But Thou, O Lord, have pity upon us; Who are ashamed and sorry for all wherein we have displeased Thee. Teach us to hate our errors; Cleanse us from our secret faults; And forgive our
