Supply O Lord, all the wants of thy church; Let all things be conducted among us in such a manthat we provide things honest, not only before God, but also before men; (2 Cor. viii. 21. Rom. xii. 17.) Bless the sweat of the brow, and the faithfulness in handicraft business;

Let none entangle himself with the affairs of this life;

(2 Tim. ii, 4.)

But may all our labor of body and mind be hallowed unto thee;

Hear us, gracious Lord and God?

O thou Preserver of men!

Send help to all that are in distress or danger; Strengthen and uphold those who suffer bonds and persecution for the sake of the gospel;

Defend, and provide for the fatherless children, and widows, and all who are desolate and oppressed; Be the support of the aged;

Make the bed of the sick, and, amidst all their sufferings, let them feel that thou lovest them; (Ps. xli. 3.) And when thou takest away men's breath, that they die, then remember, that thou hast died, not for our sins only, but also for the sins of the whole world;

Hear us, gracious Lord and God! Now, Lord,thou who art over all, God blessed for ever! Be the Saviour of all men; (1 Tim. iv. 10.) Yea, have mercy on thy whole creation; (Rom. viii. 19, 22.) For thou camest, by thyself to reconcile all things unto God, whether things on earth, or things in heaven;

Col, i. 20. Eph. ii. 16.)

Hear us, gracious Lord and God!

Thou Saviour of thy body!

(Eph. v. 23.)

Bless, sanctify, and preserve every member of thy church;

Grant that each, in every age and station, may enjoy the powerful and sanctifying merits of thy holy humanity; and make us chaste before thee in soul and body;

Let our children be brought up in the nurture and admonition of thee;

(Eph. vi. 4.)

(Acts ii. 18.)

Pour out thy Holy Spirit on all thy servants and handmaids; Purify our souls, in obeying the truth, through the Spirit, unto unfeigned love of the brethren;(1 Pet.i.22.) Hear us, gracious Lord and God! Keep us in everlasting fellowship with the church triumphant, and let us once rest together in thy presence from all our labor!

And hath redeemed us out of all nations of the earth; (Rev. v. 9.) Unto the Lord who purchased our souls for himself; (Acts xx.28.) Unto that Friend who loved us, and washed us from our

In the church that waiteth for him, and in that which is around him,

CHOIR. From everlasting to everlasting,

Amen!

I

The bishop or minister shall say:

Believe in the One only God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, who created all things by Jesus Christ, and. was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself.

I believe in God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath chosen us in him, before the foundation of the

world;

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son ;

Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ; who hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the Beloved.

CONG. This I verily believe.

MIN. I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes : even so, Father! for so it seemed good in thy sight.

Father! glorify thy name!

CONG. Our Father, which art in heaven; Hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven; give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever, Amen.

t

MIN. I believe in the name of the only begotten Son of God, by whom are all things, and we through him ; I believe, that he was made flesh, and dwelt among us ; and took on him the form of a servant;

By the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, was conceived of the virgin Mary; as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; was born of a woman;

And being found in fashion as a man, was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin;

For he was the Lord, the Messenger of the covenant, whom we delight in. The Lord and his Spirit hath sent him to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord:

He spoke that which he did know, and testified that which he had seen as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God.

Behold the Lamb of God! which hath taken away the sin of the world,

Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried;

Went by the Spirit and preached unto the spirits in prison; The third day rose again from the dead, and with him many bodies of the saints which slept ;

Ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the throne of the Father; whence he will come, in like manner as he was seen going into heaven.

CONG. The Spirit and the bride. of Christ say, come!

MIN.

Let ev'ry one that heareth, answer, come!

Amen! come, Lord Jesus! come, we implore thee;
With longing hearts we now are waiting for thee;
Come soon, O come!

The Lord will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, to judge both the quick and the dead.

This is my Lord, who redeemed me, a lost and undone human creature, purchased and gained me from all sin, from death, and from the power of the devil,

Not with gold or silver, but with his holy, precious blood, and with his innocent suffering and dying;.

To the end that I should be his own, and in his kingdom live under him and serve him, in eternal righteousness, innocence, and happiness;

So as he, being risen from the dead, liveth and reigneth, world without end.

CONG. This I most certainly believe.

MIN. I believe in the Holy Ghost, who proceedeth from the Father, and whom our Lord Jesus Christ sent, after he went away, that he should abide with us for ever;'
