H 32X 1 6 M COB A ^ FAMILY LITURGY; DESIGNED FOR THE USE OF MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND IN THB DIOCESE OF TORONTO. * COMPILED AND PUBLISHED WITH THE SANCTION OF THE LOBD BISHOP OF TORONTO. COBOURG: PRINTED AT THB DIOCESAN PRESS. M.DCCC.XLV. PREFACE. The want of a Formulary of Family Devotion, adapted for general use amongst the members of the Church of England in this Diocese, has long been felt, and has frequently been a subject of anxious dis- cussion by the Clergy at their official meetings. The Biishop of the Diocese, on being referred to upon this subject, has uniformly expressed it as his opinion, that such a compilation, if made at all, should be framed as exactly as possible after the model of our excellent Liturgy; for in nothing else, his Lordship conceived, should we have unity of design, or a col- lection of Prayers which would meet the approbation of alL The author of the following compilation, in being urged at various times to act upon this suggestion of bis Diocesan, came very naturally to the conclusion, that the most effectual as well as simple method of carrying out this view, was to adopt the system and order of the Prayer Book itself, with all the exactness which the time that could be allotted to Household Worship would allow. *'Oar Reformers,*' says a venerable dignitary of the Church,* " were clearly of opinion, and I believe that no one has ever tried the experiment without A2 * Archdeacon R. J. Wilberforce. - / "7 / I I !■ IV rBEFACE. witnessing to its success, that the constant reiteration of the same prayers, if men combine with one heart and one voice in giving them meaning and utterance, infuses rather a relish than a distaste for their use." Connected with these observations, we may affirm that this habitual and steady training to the use of our admirable Liturgy in the household, must conduce to its more faithful and profitable employment in the sanctuary; while, from its being thus constantly in the hands, and we v ill hope in the hearts, of both young and old of our communion, there will be fos- tered that regard for soundness of doctrine, and that feverence for soberness and order which character- izes our Ritual, and is a distinguishing feature in the framework of the Church. There is, too, a comfort and satisfaction in the thought that all, however [,epa- rated and distant, in using the same form of devotion, will be addressing their petitions to Almighty God, as it were, with one voice; a circumstance which must, with his blessing, conduce to the realization of that unity of spirit which is so constantly a subject of our prayers and hopes. It is but right to state that the present compilation was duly submitted to the examination of the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, and that it has received the benefit of many suggestions and improvements from his Lordship, as well as from several of the Clergy by whom, at his desire, it was carefully reviewed. While this compilation is more particularly design- ed for the purposes of Family Devotion, it will be perceived that it is equally appropriate for Sunday PREFACE. V Schools, and it might also be used with advantage In the visitation of Hospitals and Gaols, where time might not be allowed for the use of the full Morning or Evening Prayer. In the Appendix at the conclu- sion of the volume, special prayers will be found adapted to such occasional services. This Manual of Family Worship has been rendered as short as it was practicable to make it, consistently with the plan in view, and it is estimated that it will not occupy more than from ten to fifteen minutes on any one occasion. The work has also been contracted within the narrowest possible space, on grounds of economy ; so that, from the smallness of the expense, each member of a family may be furnished with a copy. The author of this compilation, in committing this little work to the members of the Church of England in this Diocese, does so with every confidence that it will be favourably received and widely used; because it embodies the most approved form of Devotions, — those furnished by the Prayer Book itself,— which could possibly be supplied; and in this hope id belief, the Divine blessing is earnestly implored on its behalf. A3 wmmmmmmmmmi FAMILY LITURGY. The Head qf the Family, (or Clergyman, if one be present) wiil commence by reading the fcUowing Sentences. To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgive- nesses, though we have rebelled against him : neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws which he set before us. J. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive our- selves, and the truth is not in us : but if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Then shall be said the General Confession, (all kneeling) each person present repeating the several petitions after the Head of the Family, or Minister. JL5T us PRAY. Almighty and most merciful Father ; We have erred, and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and de- sires of our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things which we ought not to have done : And there is no health in us. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare thou them, O God, which confess their faults. Re- store thou them that are penitent ; According to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesu I 8 FAMILY MTURQY. our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake; That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, To the glory of thy holy Name. Amen. Then shall follow this prayer : O Lord, we beseech thee, mercifully hear our pra\er8, and spare all those that confess their sins unto thee ; that they, whose consciences by sin are accused, by thy m«>rciful pardon may be absolved ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Thc/amili/ to answer here, and at the end qf all other prayers^ Amen. Then shall follow the Loids Prayer, each petition being repeated by ail present, a^ in the General Cortfession. Our 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 trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And kad us not into temptation ; But deliver us from evil : For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen. Then shall be said, O Lord, open thou our lips. Answer. And our mouth shall shew forth thy praise. O God, make speed to save us. Ansiver. O Lord, make haste to help us. Then, all rising from their knees, shall be said. Praise ye the Lord. Answer. The Lord's name be praised. FAMILY LITUEOT. I Father, a godly, thy holy lear our heir sins y sin are bsolved ; rpraj/ert, g repeated i be thy 3e done day our ses, As . And js from ^er, and rth thy Then $han follow the Pmlm, or Psalms Jor the day, ($ce Selection) the verses to be read alternately by the Head of the lamtly. and the other persona present ; each Psalm to be concluded with Gloria Patri. .,M Then mat/ be read a chapter, or portion qf a chapter, by the Head of the Family, or Minister ; from the Old Testament at Morning Prayer, and from the yew TestamctU at Evemng Prayer: it being recommended that the Scriptures should be regularly gone through with. V B—The Psalms and portion qf the Scripture may be omitted on Sundays, in cases where the Family have the rtieans qf attending Church : if they be so circumstanced that they can- not do so, it is recommended fhat the full Morning and Evening Prayer, according to the Prayer Book, be used on Sundays. After this, all standing up, the Head qf the Family, or Minister, shall say the Apostles' Creed,— all present joining with htm : I BELIEVE in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth : And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried, He descended into Hell; The third day he rose again from the dead, he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost ; the holy Catholic Church ; the Communion of Saints ; the forgive- ness of sins ; The Resurrection of the body. And the life everlasting. Amen, Then, all kneeling, the Head of the Family, or Minister, shall say, O Lord, shew thy mercy upon us. Answer. And grant us thy salvation. O Lord, save the Queen. to -Answer. AnA "po« thee.
