EVENING PRAYER.

by thought, word, and deed, against Thy Di­vine Majesty, provoking most justly Thy wrath and indignation against us. We have neglected Thy great salvation vouchsafed unto us in Jesus Christ: We are called by His name, but we have not hearkened unto His voice; We have broken our vows made unto Thee in our baptism, wherein we were made members of the body of Thy Son, and par­takers of thy Holy Spirit; We have separated ourselves from one another, destroying the unity of Thy Holy Church; We have for­gotten the hope of Thy Kingdom, and this hope hath not purified us as He is pure; have not praised Thee for Thy goodness, nor rendered unto Thee the glory due unto Thy Holy Name.

We

We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remem­brance of them is grievous unto us; the bur­den of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us; have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; for Thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ's sake, forgive us all that is past, and especi­ally the sins of this day. And grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please Thee in newness of life, to the honour and glory of Thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. R. Amen.
