IT Instead of the Venite exultemus. God is our refuge and strength : a very present help in trouble. Therefore will we not fear, though the earth be moved : and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea. Though the waters thereof rage and swell ; and the mountains shake at the tempest of the same. The Lord of Hosts is with us : the God of Jacob is our refuge. For I will not trust in my bow : it is not my sword that shall help me. I will say unto the Lord : Thou art my hope, and my s'rong hold : my God^ in Him will I trust. For it is Thou that savest us from our enemies : and puttest them to confusion that hate us. The Lord shall give strength unto His people : the Lord shall give His people the blessing ofpeace^ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost. .^s it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen. H Proper Psalms, LI, and LXXVIT. First Lesson, Daniel IX. Verse 1 — 19. Second Lesson, St. Matt. III. Verse 1 — 12. Instead of the first collect for Morning Prayer, the following is to be used : — (( Almighty and Merciful God, who in our own days and in the days of our forefathers hast visited this kingdom with many li !B>'S. :f. =39; and great blessings, save and deliver us, we humbly beseech Thee, from the hands of our enemies, that being armed with Thy defence, we may be preserved from all perils, to glorify Thee, who art the only giver of all victory, through Jesus Christ, our Lord." Amen. Jtfter the prayer in the Litany, ( JVe humbly beseech Thee) the two following, instead of the prayers in Time of War and Tumults, and for the High Court of Parliament, are to be read : — ** O Almighty God, Maker of the Universe, and Sovereign Disposer of the affairs of men ; we Thine unworthy servants most humbly implore Thine aid in this time of peril and per- plexity, when in defence of the rights and independence of nations, we are exposed to the dangers and calamities of war. We confess, O Lord, that in many things we deserve Thine anger, and might justly fear Thy chastenings. But Thou art a merciful God, full of compassion, long suffering, and of great pity. Thou sparest when we deserve punishment, and in Thy wrath thinkest upon mercy. Enter not into judgment with Thy servants, who now humble themselves before Thee, and let not Thine heritage be brought to confusion. Direct, we beseech Thee, the counsels of our gracious Sovereign, and prosper all her measures to the preservation of tranquillity at home, and the restoration of peace throughout the world. Bless her counsel- lors with wisdom, and especially the great council of the nation now assembled in Parliament, that all things may be so ordered and settled by their endeavours, that peace and happiness, truth and justice, religion and piety may be established among us for all generations. Endue her commanders, and all her forces, both by sea and land, with valour and patience ; and teach them, amidst all their perils and hardships to show forth in their lives and actions the duties of Christian soldiers. O prosper them in all their doings with Thy gracious favour and protection. '' And whilst we pray Thee, O merciful Father, to defend us from them that rise up against us, inspire our hearts, and the hearts of our enemies with the love of peace. Let nothing be done through strife, or pride, or vain glory ; but teach us to be meek and merciful, tender hearted and full of compassion. And in Thy good time vouchsafe us, we pray Thee, such a secure and prosperous peace as may tend to the glory of Thy Name, to the honour of our Sovereign and her dominions, and to the common welfare of mankind. ^ " Grant this, O merciful Father, for Jesus Christ's sake, our only Mediator and Advocate. Amen.** " O God, our refuge and strength in every time of trouble, in whose hands are the issues of life and death, mercifully receive these our prayers and intercessions for our countrymen, and for those alliea with them, nowsuflfering the hardships of war- fare in a foreign land. Be with them, we beseech Thee, in all their trials and privations. Let them enter into battle with hearts full of repentance towards Thee, and of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ ; and let their courage in their country's cause be crowned with success, and tempered with mercifulness. Stay, we beseech Thee, the violence of disease. Relieve the sick- and wounded with the consolations of Thy Blessed Spirit, and support the fatherless and widows in their affliction. Grant that all the sorrows and trials which are endured may work together for the everlasting welfare of those who suffer them. Hear us, O Heavenly Father, for the sake of Thy dear Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.'* Then the General Thanksgiving, to the end of Morning Prayer, as usual. The Communion Service. Jfter the Prayer for the Queen, or instead of the Prayer for the whole state of ChrisVs Church, the following is to he used : — *' O Almighty God, we beseech Thee of thy great goodness mercifully to receive these our prayers, which we offer unto Thy Divine Majesty this day in behalf of our kingdom and nation. We confess, O Lord, that during, the long period of prosperity and peace with which thou hadst blessed our nation, we did not make that return for Thy mercies which Thou mightest justly have required at our hands. Mercifully forgive the sins whereby we have provoked Thy chastisement, and grant that we may learn righteousness from Thy judgments which are abroad. Take away from amongst us all pride and hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word ; endue us with a spirit of piety and devo- tion, of justice and temperance, of humility and charity, as be- comes our Christian profession ; that the blessings which we have long enjoyed, both spiritual and temporal, may through Thy providence, be continued to us and to our posterity. Above all, in every dispensation of Thy hand, whether it be of prosperity or adversity, teach us ever to lift up our hearts above this lower world to Thy heavenly kingdom, where pain and sorrow, and / V M if!. 7 6 I war and hatred shall be no more. And as Thou hast commanded us to love our enemies, and to pray for them that despitefully use us, have mercy, we beseech Thee, on our adversaries in the present war. Deliver them from the guilt of ambition and blood, and dispose their hearts to clemency and justice. Over- rule this strife to the renewal of kindly brotherhood amongst nations, the enlargement of the Redeemer's kingdom, and the union of the world in Christian faith and love, that all may unite together in striving to exalt and magnify Thy glorious Name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." Collect for the day, as before, " Almighty and merciful God, who in our days, and in the days of our forefathers, hast visited this kingdom with many and great blessings, save and deliver us, we humbly beseech Thee, from the hands of our enemies ; that being armed with Thy defence, we may be preserved from all perils, to glorify Thee who art the only Giver of all victory, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." • , IF For the Epistle. Jeremiah VIL Verse 1 — 7. The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, Stand in the gate of the Lord's House, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord. Thus saith the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these. For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if ye execute judgment between a man and his neighbour ; if ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt : then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land thai I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. 1[ The Gospel. St. Luke XVHL Verse 9—14. And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray : the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank Thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful unto me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather^ than the other ; for every one that ex- alteth himself shall be abased : and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. THE ORDER FOR EVENING PRAYER. II The Order for Evening Prayer shall he in the usual course, except as herein otherwise appointed. IF Let these Sentences of Scripture precede the exhortation, Lord, correct me, but with judgment ; not in Thine anger, lest Thou bring me to nothing. 1 will arise and go to my Father ; and will say unto Him, Father, I have sinned against Heaven, and before Thee, and am no more worthy to be called Thy son. II The Hymn appointed to be used at Morning Prayer^ in- stead of the Venite, 8fc, shall here also be used before the proper Psalms. H Proper Psalms, LXXXVI. and XCI. IT First Lesson 1 Kings IX; Verse 1 — 9. H Second Lesson, Rom. H. H Instead of the First Collect for Evening Prayer. " Almighty and merciful God," &c. — as above. IF Instead of the Prayers in Time of War and Tumults, and for the High Court of Parliament, and for all Conditions of Men, the three following shall be used.
