 ALMIGHTY GOD and heavenly Father, we glorify Thee

 and harvest shall not fail. Blessed be Thou, who hast given us 
 the fruits of the earth in their season. Teach us to remember 
 that it is not by bread alone that man doth live; but grant that 
 we may feed on Him who is the true Bread which cometh down 
 from heaven, even Jesus Christ, ouV Lord and Saviour, to whom 
 with Thee, O Father, and Thee, O Holy Ghost, be honor and 
 glory for ever and ever. Amen. 
 
 MERCIFUL GOD, at who.se bidding the earth withholdetli 
 her increaf^e, or again rendereth her fruits in their seasons ; 
 give us grace that we may learn alike from Thy mercies and from 
 Thy judgments our entire dependence on Thee for the supply of 
 our daily bread, and being fully persuaded that whatever blessing 
 we receive at Thy hands is designed for our trial, as well as for 
 our comfort, may we give Thee of that which is Thine own, by 
 contributing to the maintenance of Thy Holy Church, and the

 LET trS'tftAYtbRA BLESSINa ON THE MISSIONS OF THE CHURCH: 
 
 ALMIGHTY GOD, whose dearly beloved Son, after His 
 resurrection from the dead, sent His Apostles into all the 
 world ; and on t]ie day of Pentecost endued thorn with special gifts 
 (»f the Holy Ghost, that they might gather in the spiritual harvest; 
 we beseech Thee to look down from heaven upon the fields now 
 white unto the harvest, in this country and in other hinds ; and to 
 send forth more labourers into Thy harvest, to gather fruit unto 
 eternal life. Grant us grace, we beseech Thoe, so to help them 
 with our praj'ers and ofl'erings, that when the harvest of the earth 
 is ripe, and the time for reaping is come, we, together with them, 
 may rejoice before Thee, according to the joy in harvest, through 
 Je.sus Christ our Lord. Amen. 
 
 IT After the General T^mnksfjiving shall be said one or more of the following 
 Prayers : 
 
 ALMIGHTY Father, we bless'and praise Thee, that in love to 
 Thy children Thou hast at this season bestowed upon us 
 such an abundant supply for all our necessities; grant that we may 
 never be destitute of those better gifts which nourish and enrich 
 the soul. Thou hast wacored our fields with the dews of heaven, 
 and poured out upon us the former and the latter rain, according 
 to our need : -Thou hast reserved unto us the appointed weeks of 
 the harvest. And now we further beseech Thee, merciful Father, 
 to shower down upon us Thy heavenly grace, and endue us with 
 the gifts of Thy. Holy Spirit, so that we may bring forth abundant 
 fruits to Thy glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 
 
IV.' 
 
 OMOST merciful Father, who of Thy gracious goodness hast 
 heard the devout prayers of Thy Church, and has granted 
 us to gather in the kindly fruits of the earth in their season ; we 
 give Thee humble thanks for this Thy bounty, beseeching Thee 
 to continue Thy loving-kindness towards us, that our land may 
 yield her increase, through Jesus Christ our LoM. Amen. 
 
 ^ This Prayer may be used, instead of the (wo former, when the harvest has 
 been defective. . ' . 
 
 ALMIGHTY GOD and heavenly Father, who art able either to 
 send us an abundance or scarceness, and who hast in wis- 
 dom seen fit to withhold from ub at this time Thine accustomed 
 bounty ; we most humbly praise Thee for still bestowing upon us 
 far more than we deserve. Make us truly thankful for our many 
 blessings. Increase in us more and more a lively faith and love, 
 and an humble submission to Thy blessed will. Be pleased to con- 
 tinue Thy favour, with the light of Thy Gospel, to us and our pos- 
 terity for evermore. Grant this, we beseech Thee, for Thy dear 
 Son's pake Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. .
