PRAYER BEFORE SERVICE.

Assist me mercifully, O Lord, in these my supplications and prayers; and those things which for my unworthiness I dare not, or for my blindness I cannot ask; vouchsafe to give me through the merits of Thy Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord!

PRAYER AFTER SERVICE.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart be always acceptable in thy sight; and fulfil, O Lord, the desires and petitions of Thy servant, as may be most ex­pedient for me.
