 T T EAR me, when I call, God of my righteous-

 distress. 
 
 Congregation. 
 
 Truly my soul resteth on God alone ; from Him 
 
 cometh my salvation. 
 Trust in Him at all times, ye people ; pour out your 
 
 heart before Him ; God is our refuge* 
 Hear the righteous cause, O Lord ; attend to my 
 cry ; give ear to my prayer from lips without 
 deceit. 
 May my sentence come forth from Thy presence; 
 
 may Thine eyes behold uprightness. 
 Probest Thou my heart, visitest Thou me in the 
 night, triest Thou me like gold, mayest Thou 
 find nothing evil. 
 My thoughts do not vary from my lips, as to the 
 
 deeds of men. 
 Through Thy word I have kept me from the paths 
 
 of the destroyer. 
 Support my steps in Thy paths, that my foot may 
 
 not slip. 
 
 I call upon Thee, God ! for Thou wilt hear me ; 
 incline Thine ear to me, and listen to my 
 prayer. 
 
 Show forth Thy loving-kindness, Thou that savest 
 by Thy right hand, those that seek refuge in 
 Thee from their adversaries.
 
 FOP. WEEK-DAYS. O 
 
 Guard me as the apple of the eye ; hide me under 
 
 the shadow of Thy wings. 
 Stand in awe, and sin no more ; commune with your 
 
 hearts upon your beds, and be at peace. 
 Offer sacrifices of righteousness, and put your 
 
 trust in the Lord. 
 There are many that say, who will show us any 
 
 good? 
 Lord, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance 
 
 upon us. 
 Thou puttest gladness in my heart, more than 
 
 when corn and wine increase. 
 I will lay me down in peace, and sleep ; for Thou, 
 O Lord, makest me dwell in safety. 
 
 The Lord is my shepherd ; I shall not want. 
 
 He maketh me lie down in green pastures; He 
 
 leadeth me beside the still waters. 
 He reviveth my soul; He leadeth me in paths of 
 
 safety, for His name's sake. 
 When I walk through the valley of the shadow 
 
 of death I fear no evil; for Thou art with 
 
 me; Thy stay and Thy staff, they comfort 
 
 me. 
 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of 
 
 mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with 
 
 oil ; my cup runneth over, 
 surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the 
 
 days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house 
 
 of the Lord forever.

 shield around our homes during our sleeping hours. 
 Preserve us from evil occurrences, from the sword of 
 the foe, from civil troubles, from pestilence, famine 
 and destruction. May we put aside all our cares and 
 surrender our lives and the lives of our loved ones 
 into Thy keeping. May we readily forgive those who 
 wronged us, and seek forgiveness of those whom we 
 have wronged. So shall Thy blessing attend the 
 closing and the opening days, and Thy peace, O God, 
 abide within us. 
 
 May the words of my mouth and the meditation 
 of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, Lord, my 
 strength and my redeemer.

 beneficent ends, and in the fulness of time we shall

 pRESERVE me, O God, for to Thee do I look 
 for help. I have said to the Lord, Thou art 
 my God ; I have no happiness beyond Thee. The 
 holy that are in the land, and the excellent, in 
 them is my delight. They who hasten after false 
 gods have multiplied sorrows. The Lord is my 
 portion and my cup ; Thou wilt maintain my lot. 
 My portion has fallen to me in pleasant places ; 
 yea, I have a goodly inheritance. I will bless the 
 Lord who careth for me ; yea, in the night my 
 heart admonisheth me. I set the Lord before me 
 at all times ; since He is at my right hand, I 
 shall not fall. Therefore my heart is glad, and my 
 spirit rejoiceth ; yea, my flesh dwelleth in security. 
 Thou wilt show me the path of life ; in Thy pres- 
 ence is fullness of joy; at Thy right hand are 
 pleasures evermore.

 The Lord is nigh to all that call upon Him; that 
 call upon Him in truth. 
 
 Offer unto God the sacrifices of righteousness; 
 call upon Him in the day of trouble, and He will 
 deliver thee.. 
 
 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a 
 broken and contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not 
 despise. 
 
 Thus saith the Lord, the High and Holy One: 
 I dwell in the high and holy place, yet with him 
 also that is of a contrite and humble spirit; to 
 revive the spirit of the humble and to quicken the 
 heart of the contrite. 
 
 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord, who shall 
 stand in his holy place ? He that hath clean hands, 
 and a pure heart ; who hath not lifted up his soul 
 unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive 
 the blessing of the Lord, and righteousness from the 
 
 God of his salvation.

 Who forgiveth thine iniquities ; who healeth all thy

 Who redeemeth thy life from the grave ; who 
 crowneth thee with loving-kindness and ten- 
 der mercies. 
 The Lord is merciful and kind, slow to anger and 
 
 rich in mercy. 
 
 He hath not dealt with us according to our 
 sins, nor requited us according to our ini- 
 quities. 
 As high as are the heavens above the earth, so great 
 
 is His mercy to them that fear Him. 
 And as far as the east is from the west, so far hath 
 
 He removed our transgressions from us. 
 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord 
 
 pitieth them that fear Him. 
 For He knoweth our frame, He remembereth that 
 
 we are dust. 
 As for man, his days are as grass ; as a flower of the

 24 EVENING SERVICE AT 
 
 Meditation : 
 
 OD is nigh to all that call upon Him in truth ; 
 He answereth those that wait for Him, and 
 sendeth light and rest to the longing heart. Every 
 reverent thought is a blessing ; every act of homage 
 prompted by our sense of His greatness is a bene- 
 diction; no true prayer remains unrewarded. But 
 the purest offering is that prayer which springs from 
 our sympathy with the afflicted and our compassion 
 with the sorrowing and bereaved. For it is free 
 from all selfish motives ; it is inspired by the love of 
 our fellowmen and sanctified by our pity with the 
 suffering. 
 
 Whilst we are assembled with our friends in the 
 shadow that has fallen on their home, and are 
 entering sincerely into their grief, we will raise our 
 voices together in prayer to the Father above, be- 
 seeching for them His comfort and His strength. 
 They need light in the gloom that has gathered 
 around their hearth ; and whence can it come to 
 them but from the Father of Light? They need 
 fortitude, patience and resignation under the chas- 
 tenings of the Lord. Whence can they receive these 
 gifts save from Him who has laid the burden of 
 suffering on them? Who amongst us has not 
 passed through similar trials and endured like visit- 
 ations ? Some bear fresh wounds in their own 
 hearts, and therefore feel more keenly ths human kin- 
 ship of sorrow. Others whose days of trial are more 
 remote, but who have not yet forgotten them, recall 
 the soothing comfort that fellow-feeling brought to
 
 THE HOUSE OF MOURNING. 25 
 
 their broken spirits. And those who have not yet 
 tasted of the bitter cup cannot know how soon they 
 may be called upon to drink of it. We are travelers 
 on the same road which leads to the same goal. 
 All that we prize most highly is but lent to us for a 
 time, and we must surrender it when the Power 
 above demands. 
 
 May we not leave unheeded the lessons which 
 every house of mourning teaches : 
 
 Number well thy earthly days, 
 Let thy heart to wisdom turn ; 
 Riches go not with us hence. 
 Worldly honors stay behind ; 
 Practice virtue, walk upright, 
 Blissful shall thy end then be. 
 For God regards His servant's soul, 
 Forsaketh not who trusts in Him ! 
 
 "In the day of prosperity be joyful ; but in the 
 day of adversity consider : God has set the one day 
 over against the other : He has made this as well as 
 that, and no man can find out what follows after it." 
 Ecdesiastes vii, 14- 
 
 "What? Shall we receive the good at God's 
 hand and shall we not receive evil." 
 
 The Lord hath given, the Lord hath taken 
 away; let the name of the Lord be praised forever 
 and aye.

 *** Almighty Ruler of the universe, who renderest 
 just reward unto all Thy creatures ; eternal is Thy 
 love, as Thy might is infinite. Thou sustainest in

 Thou hast put on us. Where can we find sup- 
 port but in Thee? Let us lie down in peace, 
 though our hearts are sorely rent: let, in the night 
 which enshrouds us now, Thy light shine upon 
 us, that we may still find the path of life, and 
 willingly pursue it to the goal which Thou ap- 
 pointest to each of Thy children. We know that 
 every night has its morning : that after the hours of 
 darkness come again the hours of daylight. Grant 
 that we,too,may rise again to do our allotted tasks in 
 peace of soul ; that we, too, may remember that the 
 seed, oft sown in tears, ripens into a harvest to be 
 gathered in joy. 
 
 We thank Thee for the life which in Thy love 
 Thou hast given, and in Thy wisdom hast taken 
 away. Make us to know Thy ways, that in our love 
 we triumph over selfish woe and grief. Blessed art 
 Thou who lowerest into the grave, but bringest up 
 again, who woundest, and bindest up. Let the balm 
 of Thy assurance be distilled into our troubled 
 spirits, that athwart our tears may arch the rainbow 
 of Thy eternal promise. Praise be to Thee, God, 
 who comfortest the mourners. Amen.

 \\J~E remember that we are only pilgrims upon 
 this earth; that it is our duty to walk in 
 Thy ways, to do what is good in Thy sight, to keep 
 our souls pure from sin; and when Thou callest 
 us hence, attain that reward which is prepared 
 for those who have earnestly striven to live in 
 accordance with Thy will. To Thee we look for 
 comfort and strength when one of our beloved is 
 taken from us, and a link broken in the chain of 
 love that binds us together in family union. And 
 when our time conies to walk into the valley of 
 the shadow of death, we will fear no evil, for 
 Thou art with us in death as in life, here and 
 hereafter. Blessed be Thou, O Eternal, our God. 
 in all Thy dispensations; and hallowed shall be 
 Thy name, whatsoever Thou mayest send us.

 Thee. Satisfy us early with Thy mercy, that we

 36 MORNING SERVICE 
 
 My God, the soul which Thou hast given unto 
 me came pure from Thy hands. Thou hast created 
 it; Thou hast formed it; Thou hast breathed it 
 into me ; Thou hast preserved it in this body and, 
 at the appointed time, Thou wilt take it from this 
 earth that it may enter upon the life everlasting. 
 While the soul animates my being I will worship 
 Thee, Sovereign of the world and Lord of all souls. 
 Blessed be Thou, O Lord, in whose hands are the 
 souls of all the living and the spirts of all flesh. 
 
 May it please Thee to lead us in the way of Thy 
 law, that our hearts may cleave to Thy command- 
 ments. O suffer us not to fall into the power of sin 
 and transgression, help us to overcomo temptation 
 and save us from contempt of Thy ordinances. May 
 Thy good spirit within us always prompt us to do 
 the works of goodness. May not wicked men be 
 our associates, but may we have fellowship with the 
 righteous and the wise who serve Thee in purity of 
 heart. And when we have gone astray and done 
 amiss, may Thine admonitions bring us back to Thee 
 and restore to us the joy of a peaceful conscience. 
 May we live through this day and all the days of 
 our pilgrimage as it behooves those to whom Thou 
 hast revealed the holiness of Thy being and the 
 righteousness of Thy law.

 loving-kindness upon all Thy creatures; Thou re- 
 memberest the goodness of the fathers, and Thou 
 sendest redemption to their descendants for the sake 
 of Thy name. Thou art our help, our redeemer and 
 protector. Praise be to Thee, O God, shield of 
 Abraham. 
 
 Thou art mighty, O Lord ; Thine is the power to 
 save. In Thy kindness Thou sustainest the living, 
 upholdest the falling, healest the sick, and settest 
 captives free. Thou wilt, of a surety, fulfil Thy 
 promise of immortal life unto those who sleep in 
 the dust. Who is like unto Thee, Almighty, author 
 of life and death, source of salvation. Praise be to 
 Thee, God, who hast implanted within us immor- 
 tal life.

 58 MORNING SERVICE 
 
 Prayer : 
 
 /~\ LORD, our God, Thou hast in Thy grace dis- 
 ^-^ tinguished man from all other beings by 
 endowing him with knowledge and understanding, 
 that he may walk in Thy light and follow Thy 
 precepts in his life. Teach us, O God, the knowl- 
 edge of Thy ways, and enlighten our understand- 
 ing by Thy truth. May Thy law be written on 
 our hearts. May we cheerfully employ our best 
 powers in Thy service. 
 
 Bless, O Lord, the work of our hands, the fruits 
 of every toil, and may all Thy children be satisfied 
 with Thy goodness. Imbue our hearts with love 
 and compassion toward those who suffer want, and 
 make us cheerful givers to the needy and distressed. 
 
 Grant, O Lord, that the sound of freedom be 
 heard throughout all lands, and all nations en- 
 joy the blessings of true liberty ; let the reign of 
 wickedness vanish like smoke and all dwellers 
 on earth recognize Thee alone as their King, and 
 all Thy children be united in a covenant of peace 
 and love. 
 
 Remember, God, in love the just and virtuous 
 of all nations, and strengthen all who sincerely 
 trust in Thee. Help us in our weakness, enlighten 
 our darkness, and arm us against danger and temp- 
 tation. 
 
 Hear, O Father, the voice of our supplication; 
 receive graciously our prayers and the prayers of
 
 FOR WEEK-DAYS 59 
 
 all Thy children who come to seek Thee, and may . 
 we ever know how to serve Thee in truth. Praise 
 be to Thee, God, who acceptest in mercy the 
 grateful worship of Thy children. Amen. 
 
 Silent Prayer: 
 
 "DEFORE Thee, O my God, lie open the secrets 
 ^-* of every heart. Thou understandest my 
 thoughts afar off and art acquainted with all my 
 ways. Thou knowest how grateful I am for the 
 manifold mercies which Thou hast shown to mo 
 and to my loved ones. They are more than I can 
 number, greater than I can measure, and better than 
 I can understand. When it seemed good to Thee 
 to try me with sorrows and to take from me what 
 was so unspeakably dear to me, Thou didst not 
 leave me comfortless. Thy power sustained me, and 
 I have learned to trust in Thee and to believe truly 
 that all Thy dispensations are meant for good and 
 not evil. Help me, Father, to preserve in my 
 home the blessings of peace and of the sweet inter- 
 course of souls united in the bonds of love. Let 
 me always remember that I must not live to myself 
 only, but to Thee and to my fellow-men, especially 
 the poor and the distressed. Hear the prayers of 
 those who worship with me in this house, who pour 
 out their souls to Thee, and grant them the joy that 
 comes to us whenever we commune with Thee. Let 
 Thy light shine upon us and be gracious unto us, 
 Thy children. Amen.

 Thy providence which are manifested to us at all

 from speaking guile ; may evil counsels not prevail 
 against us and may we be always ready to forgive 
 those who offend against us. May our nation be 
 exalted through righteousness, and peace and qui- 
 etude reign within our borders. Amen.

 I. 
 
 THOU infinite One, who art in heaven and on 
 earth, and near unto every heart, we worship 
 Thee with all our mind and all our soul. We rever- 
 ence Thee, who art the permanent in things that 
 change, the foundation of what lasts; the wisdom 
 and the justice that hold and "bless this world of 
 matter and of men. We remember before Thee our 
 several wants and conditions of life, and we thank 
 Thee for the happiness that crowns our days, for the 
 success that attends our efforts in our various 
 spheres of activity, for the brightness we gather in 
 our homes, and the love wherein our hearts rejoice. 
 But we remember also in our prayer the sorrows 
 that stain our face with weeping, and fill our souls 
 with sadness and distress. We thank Thee that we 
 know Thine eye pities us in our sorrows ; and that 
 Thy chastenings are meant for good and not for evil. 
 Help us to grow stronger and nobler by this world's 
 changes, and to enlarge our spiritual being by the 
 various events of our mortal life. May we see Thy 
 hand in all that comes upon us, and may that faith 
 endow us with the strength of patience and the com- 
 fort of hope. Amen.

 cast ; we thank Thee for our fathers, men of mighty 
 faith, lifting up valiant hands before Thee ; and for 
 the rights which they have left us for our heritage. 
 We bless Thee for every good institution in our 
 midst, for the unbounded opportunities we have to 
 develop our mental and moral faculties, and to enjoy 
 the inestimable blessing of the liberty of our souls. 
 We thank Thee for the great ideas of our nature, and 
 for the revelation and inspiration which Thou 
 makest therein ; for the knowledge of Thyself and 
 Thine infinite perfection, for the duties which Thou 
 hast imposed upon us and the voice that calls us to 
 obedience and submission. May we strive to be 
 useful in all works that tend towards the improve- 
 ment of our social life, and the lifting up of the 
 lowly, the ignorant and the wayward, and may our 
 daily walk be so ordered that we may make it a 
 perpetual service to Thee, v/ho establishest the works 
 of our hands for us. Amen.

 A 1 TE come into Thy presence, O Lord, our God, 
 * * to commune with Thee, to lift up our souls 
 above worldly cares and worldly interests. We 
 come to seek light from Thy light, wisdom from 
 Thy wisdom, and strength and comfort from our 
 firm trust in Thy love, justice and mercy. When 
 we fail because of our ignorance, teach us, O God, 
 and guide our footsteps aright. When our weak- 
 ness and infirmities master us and enslave us,
 
 CARIOUS PRAYERS 63 
 
 strengthen, Thou, God, our will and our resolu- 
 tions for the betterment of our lives. Give us 
 purer hearts, nobler minds and grander characters. 
 Teach us to emulate the great men whom Thou in 
 every age sendest to us as examples of righteous- 
 ness. Bless our nation with representative men of 
 integrity. Let our country's leaders ever be im- 
 bued with the true spirit of loyalty to truth and 
 virtue. May they ever recognize Thy providential 
 hand guiding the destinies of nations. 
 
 Bless all men with a true understanding of Thy 
 sacred law of right. Break down the barriers that 
 separate men from one another. Let all fanaticism 
 be eradicated. Let the scepter of liberty rule over 
 the earth. 
 
 0, our Father, we ask Thee to lift the burden 
 from the afflicted soul, dry the tears of the unfor- 
 tunate, turn sorrow into happiness, weeping into 
 smiling, mourning into rejoicing. Lift the clouds 
 from their sad lives, and let the pure rays of heav- 
 enly bliss enter their souls. Let them sing because 
 their cup of joy is filled; let them sound Thy 
 praises in gladness and cheerfulness. Bless, O my 
 soul, the Lord. Amen. 
 
 IV. 
 
 TN Thine all-encompassing love, O God, Thou 
 * revealest Thyself to us; Thy majesty and Thy 
 power are everywhere made manifest. To our an- 
 cestors Thou didst give precepts of life; do Thou
 
 64 VARIOUS PRAYERS 
 
 also unto us extend Thy mercy by making us 
 receptive of them. All-merciful Father, inspire our 
 hearts with affection and earnest zeal for truth and 
 knowledge, that we may lovingly cleave to the 
 teachings of Thy law, understand and esteem, learn 
 and teach them. Enlighten Thou our eyes in Thy 
 law, confirm our hearts in Thy precepts, and let us 
 unite with all our fellow-men in the love of Thee 
 and the reverence of Thy name. 
 
 Forgive us if we fall into sin, and save us from 
 every ill. Hold sickness and suffering far from us ; 
 and if Thou dost send them, grant us patience and 
 humble submission to Thy will. Grant that the 
 idols of vanity and superstition shall disappear 
 from the earth ; that the light of truth shall spread 
 to every land an.l illumine every nation. Be with 
 all those who labor for the good of their fellow- 
 men, and may Thy gracious spirit ever guide and 
 sustain them. Guard our tongues from evil, and 
 our lips from speaking guile. Grant us calmness 
 towards those who wish us evil, and humility to- 
 wards all men ; and may we never hesitate to forgive 
 those who offend against us. May we shun all 
 ways that are not good in Thy sight, and rejoice to 
 do that which is in accordance with Thy will ; so 
 that we may indeed sanctify Thy name in the eyea 
 of all men. Amen.
