The righteous shall inherit the | land,
And dwell there in for ever.

Thou shalt not kill.

Let thy mercies come unto me, that | I may | live;
For thy law is my delight.

Neither shalt thou commit adultery.

Thy word is very | pure:

Therefore thy servant | loveth | it.

Neither shalt thou steal.

Righteous art | Thou, O JEHOVAH ;

And | upright | are thy | judgments.

Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbor.

Through thy precepts I get | under standing:

Therefore every | false way | do I hate.

Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbor's wife.

I have in clined my heart

To perform thy statutes always, to the end.

Neither shalt thou covet thy neighbor's house, his field, or his man-servant, or his maid-servant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbor's.

Thou art | near, O JEHOVAH ;

And all thy com mandments are truth.

THE BLESSINGS.

MATTHEW Vv.

AND seeing the multitudes, He went up into a moun

tain and when He had sat down, his disciples came unto Him. And He opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see GOD. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of GOD.

Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness' sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are ye, when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Rejoice and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in heaven for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you.

The People may answer:

THE law was given by Moses; but grace and truth came by JESUS CHRIST.

Then may follow a Selection.
