THE PREFACE.
IT hath been the wisdom of the
Church of England, ever since the first compiling of her Publick Liturgy, to keep the mean between the two extremes, of too much stiffness in refusing, and of too much easiness in admitting any variation from it. For, as on the one side common experience sheweth, that where a change hath been made of things advisedly established( no evident necessity so requiring) sundry inconveniences have thereupon ensued; and those many times more and greater than the evils, that were intended to be remedied by such change: So on the other side, the particular Forms of Divine worship, and the Rites and Ceremonies appointed to be used therein, being things in their own nature indifferent, and alterable, and so acknowledged; it is but reasonable, that upon weighty and important considerations, according to the various exigency of times and occasions, such changes and alterations should be made therein, as to those that are in place of Authority should from time to time seem either necessary or expedient. According. ly we find, that in the Reigns of several Princes of blessed memory since the Reformation, the Church, upon just and weighty consid tions her thereunto moving, hath yielded to make such alterations in some particulars, as in their respective times were thought convenient: Yet so, as that the main Body and Essentials of it( as well in the chiefest materials, as in the frame and order thereof) have still continued the same unto this day, and do yet stand firm and unshaken, notwithstanding all the vain attempts and impetuous assaults made against it, by such men as are given to change, and have always discovered a greater regard to their own private fancies and interests, than to that duty they owe to the publick.
By what undue means, and for what mischievous purposes the
use of the Liturgy( though enjoined by the Laws of the Land, and those Laws never yet repealed) came, during the late unhappy confusions, to be discontinued, is too well known to the world, and we are not willing here to remember. But when, upon His Majesty's happy Restoration, it seemed probable, that, amongst other things, the use of the Liturgy would also return of course ( the same having never been legally abolished) unless some timely means were used to prevent it; those men who under the late usurped powers had made it a great part of their business to render the people disaffected thereunto, saw themselves in point of reputation and interest concerned ( unless they would freely acknowledge themselves to have erred, which such men are very hardly brought to do) with their utmost endeavours to hinder the restitution thereof. In order whereunto divers Pamphlets were published against the Book of Common Prayer, the old objections mustered up, with the addition of some new ones, more than formerly had been made, to make the number swell. In fine, great importunities were used to His Sacred Majesty, that the said Book might be revised, and such Alterations therein, and Additions thereunto made, as should be thought requisite for the ease of tender Consciences: whereunto His Majesty, out of his pious inclination to give satisfaction( so far as could be reasonably expected) to all his subjects of what persuasion soever, did graciously condescend.
In which review we have endeavoured to observe the like moderation, as we find to have been used in the like case in former times. And therefore of the sundry Alterations proposed unto us, we have rejected all such as were either of dangerous consequence( as secretly striking at some established Doctrine, or laudable Practice of the Church of
A 2

THE PREFACE.
England, or indeed of the whole Catholick Church of Christ) or else of no consequence at all, but utterly frivolous and vain. But such Alterations as were tendered to us( by what persons, under what pretences, or to what purpose soever tendered) as seemed to us in any degree requisite or expedient, we have willingly, and of our own accord assented unto: not enforced so to do by any strength of Argument, convineing us of the necessity of making the said Alterations: For we are fully persuaded in our judge. ments( and we here profess it to the world) that the Book, as it stood before established by Law, doth not contain in it any thing contrary to the Word of God, or to sound Doctrine, or which a godly man may not with a good Conscience use and submit unto, or which is not fairly defensible against any that shall oppose the same; if it shall be allowed such just and favourable construction as in common equity ought to be allowed to all human Writings, especially such as are set forth by Authority, and even to the very best translations of the holy Scripture itself.
Our general aim therefore in this undertaking was, not to gratify this or that party in any their unreasonable demands; but to do that, which to our best understandings we conceived might most tend to the preservation of Peace and Unity in the Church; the procuring of Reverence, and exciting of Piety and Devotion in the publick Worship of God; and the cutting off occasion from them that seek occasion of cavil or quarrel against the Liturgy of the Church. And as to the several variations from the former Book, whether by Alteration, Addition, or otherwise, shall suffice to give this general account, That most of the Alterations were made, either first, for the better direction of them that are to officiate in any part of Divine Service; which is chiefly done in the Calendars and Rubricks: Or secondly, for the more proper expressing of some words or phrases of ancient usage in
terms more suitable to the language of the present times, and the clearer explanation of some other words and phrases, that were either of doubtful signification, or otherwise liable to misconstruction: Or thirdly, for a more perfect rendering of such portions of holy Scripture, as are inserted into the Liturgy; which, in the Epistles and Gospels especially, and in sundry other places, are now ordered to be read according to the last Translation: and that it was thought convenient, that some Prayers and Thanksgivings, fitted to special occasions, should be added in their due places; particularly for those at Sea, together with an Office for the Baptism of such as are of Riper Years: which, although not so necessary when the former Book was compiled, yet by the growth of Anabaptism, through the licentiousness of the late times crept in amongst us, is now become necessary, and may be always useful for the baptizing of Natives in our Plantations, and others converted to the Faith. If any man, who shall desire a more particular account of the several Alterations in any pains to compare the present Book part of the Liturgy, shall take the with the former; we doubt not but the reason of the change may easily appear.
to discharge our duties in this And having thus endeavoured weighty affair, as in the sight cerity therein( so far as lay in us) of God, and to approve our sinto the consciences of all men; although we know it impossible humours and interests, as are in ( in such variety of apprehensions, the world) to please all; nor can expect that men of factious, peevish, and perverse spirits should be satisfied with any thing that can be done in this kind by any other than themselves: Yet we have good hope, that what is here presented, and hath been by the Convocations of both Provinces with great diligence examined and approved, will be also well accepted and approved by all sober, peaceable, and truly conscientious Sons of the Church of England.

CONCERNING THE SERVICE OF
THE CHURCH.
THERE was never any thing by the wit of man so devised, or so sure established, which in continuance of time hath not been corrupted: As, among other things, it may plainly appear by the Common Prayers in the Church, commonly called Divine Service. The first original and ground whereof if a man would search out by the ancient Fathers, he shall find, that the same was not ordained but of a good purpose, and for a great advancement of godliness. For they so ordered the matter, that all the whole Bible,( or the greatest part thereof) should be read over once every year; intending thereby, that the Clergy, and especially such as were Ministers in the Congregation, should( by often reading, and meditation in God's word) be stirred up to godliness themselves, and be more able to exhort others by wholesome Doctrine, and to confute them that were adversaries to the Truth; and further, that the people( by daily hearing of holy Scripture read in the Church) might continually profit more and more in the knowledge of God, and be the more inflamed with the love of his true Religion.
But these many years passed, this godly and decent order of the ancient Fathers hath been so altered, broken, and neglected, by planting in uncertain Stories, and Legends, with multitude of Responds, Verses, vain Repetitions, Commemorations, and Synodals; that commonly when any Book of the Bible was begun, after three or four Chapters were read out, all the rest were unread. And in this sort the Book of Isaiah was begun in Advent, and the Book of Genesis in Septuagesima; but they were only begun, and never read through: After like sort were other Books of holy Scripture used. And moreover, whereas Saint Paul would have such language spoken to the people in the Church, as they might profit by
hearing the same; The Service in this Church of England these many years hath been read in Latin to the people, which they understand not; so that they have heard with their ears only, and their heart, spirit, and mind, have not been edified thereby, And furthermore, notwithstanding that the ancient Fathers have divided the Psalms into seven portions, whereof every one was called a Nocturn: Now of late time a few of them have been daily said, and the rest utterly omitted. Moreover, the number and hardness of the Rules called the Pie, and the manifold changings of the Service, was the cause, that to turn the Book only was so hard and intricate a matter, that many times there was more business to find out what should be read, than to read it when it was found out.
These inconveniences therefore considered, here is set forth such an Order, whereby the same shall be redressed. And for a readiness in this matter, here is drawn out a Calendar for that purpose, which is plain and easy to be understood; wherein( so much as may be) the reading of holy Scripture is so set
orth, that all things shall be done in order, without breaking one piece from another. For this cause be cut off Anthems, Responds, Invitatories, and such like things as did break the continual course of the reading of the Scripture.
Yet, because there is no remedy, but that of necessity there must be some Rules; therefore certain Rules are here set forth; which, as they are few in number, so they are plain and easy to be understood. So that here you have an Order for Prayer, and for the reading of the holy Scripture, much agreeable to the mind and purpose of the old Fathers, and a great deal more profitable and commodious, than that which of late

CONCERNING THE SERVICE OF THE CHURCH.
was used. It is more profitable, because here are left out many things, whereof some are untrue, some uncertain, some vain and superstitious; and nothing is ordained to be read, but the very pure Word of God, the holy Scriptures, or that which is agreeable to the same; and that in such a Language and Order as is for the unthe Bishop of the Diocese, who by his discretion shall take order for the quieting and appeasing of the same; so that the same order be not contrary to any thing contained in this Book. And if the Bishop of the Diocese be in doubt, then he may send for the resolu tion thereof to the Archbishop.
derstanding both of the Readers T
and Hearers. It is also more commodious, both for the shortness thereof, and for the plainness of the Order, and for that the Rules be few and easy.
And whereas heretofore there hath been great diversity in say. ing and singing in Churches with in this Realm; some following Salisbury Use, some Hereford Use, and some the Use of Bangor, some of York, some of Lincoln; now from henceforth all the whole Realm shall have but one Use.
And forasmuch as nothing can be so plainly set forth, but doubts may arise in the use and practice of the same; to appease all such diversity( if any arise) and for the resolution of all doubts, concerning the manner how to understand, do, and execute, the things contained in this Book; the parties that so doubt, or diversly take any thing, shall alway resort to
HOUGH it be appointed, that all things shall be read and sung in the Church in the English Tongue, to the end that the congregation may be thereby edified; yet it is not meant, but that when men say Morning and Evening Prayer privately, they may say the same in any language that they themselves do understand.
And all Priests and Deacons are to say daily the Morning and Evening Prayer either privately or openly, not being let by sickness, or some other urgent cause.
And the Curate that ministereth in every Parish- Church or Chapel, being at home, and not being otherwise reasonably hindered, shall say the same in the Parish Church or Chapel where he ministereth, and shall cause a Bell to be tolled thereunto a convenient time before he begin, that the people may come to hear God's Word, and to pray with him.

OF
CEREMONIES,
WHY SOME BE ABOLISHED, AND SOME BETAINED.
O such Ceremonies as be used dient, not so much to have rein the
have had
spect how to please and satisfy either of these parties, as how to please God, and profit them both. And yet lest any man should be offended, whom good reason might satisfy, here be certain causes rendered, why some of the accustomed Ceremonies be put away, and some retained and kept still.
their beginning by the institution of man, some at the first were of godly intent and purpose devised, and yet at length turned to vanity and superstition: some entered into the Church by undiscreet devotion, and such a zeal as was without knowledge; and for because they were winked at in the beginning, they grew daily to more and more abuses, which not only for their unprofitableness, but also because they have much blinded the people, and obscured the glory of God, are worthy to be cut away, and clean rejected: other there be, which although they have been devised by man, yet it is thought good to reserve them still, as well for a decent order in the Church,( for the which they were first devised) as because they pertain to edification, whereunto all things done in the Church( as the Apostle teacheth) ought to be referred.
And although the keeping or omitting of a Ceremony, in itself considered, is but a small thing; yet the wilful and contemptuous transgression and breaking of a common order and discipline is no small offence before God, Let all things be done among you, saith Saint Paul, in a seemly and due order: The appointment of the which order pertaineth not to private men; therefore no man ought to take in hand, nor presume to appoint or alter any publick or common Order in Christ's Church, except he be lawfully called and authorized thereunto.
And whereas in this our time, the minds of men are so diverse, that some think it a great matter of conscience to depart from a piece of the least of their Ceremonies, they be so addicted to their old customs; and again on the other side, some be so newfangled, that they would innovate all things, and so despise the old, that nothing can like them, but that is new: it was thought expeSome are put away, because the great excess and multitude of them hath so increased in these latter days, that the burden of them was intolerable; whereof Saint Augustine in his time complained, that they were grown to such a number, that the estate of Christian people was in worse case concerning that matter, than were the Jews. And he counselled that such yoke and burden should be taken away, as time would serve quietly to do it. But what would Saint Augustine have said, if he had seen the Ceremonies of late days used among us; whereunto the multitude used in his time was not to be compared? This our excessive multitude of Ceremonies was so great, and many of them so dark, that they did more confound and darken, than declare and set forth Christ's benefits unto us. And besides this, Christ's Gospel is not a Ceremonial Law,( as much of Moses' Law was) but it is a Religion to serve God, not in bondage of the figure or shadow, but in the freedom of the Spirit; being content only with those Ceremonies which do serve to a decent Order and godly Discipline, and such as be apt to stir up the dull mind of man to the remembrance of his duty to God, by some notable and special signification, whereby he might be edified. Furthermore, the most weighty cause of the abolishment of certain Ceremonies was, That they were so far abused, partly by the superstitious blindness of the rude and unlearned, and partly by the unsatiable avarice of such as sought more their own lucre, than the glory of God,

OF CEREMONIES.
that the abuses could not well be taken away, the thing remaining still.
But now as concerning those persons, which peradventure will be offended, for that some of the old Ceremonies are retained still: If they consider that without some Ceremonies it is not possible to keep any Order, or quiet Discipline in the Church, they shall easily perceive just cause to reform their judgments. And if they think much, that any of the old do remain, and would rather have all devised anew: then such men granting some Ceremonies convenient to be had, surely where the old may be well used, there they cannot reasonably reprove the old only for their age, without bewraying of their own folly. For in such a case they ought rather to have reverence unto them for their antiquity, if they will declare themselves to be more studious of unity and concord, than of innovations and new- fangleness, which( as much as may be with true setting forth of Christ's Religion) is always to be eschewed. Furthermore, such shall have no just cause with the Ceremonies reserved to be offended. For as those be taken away which were most abused, and did burden men's consciences without any cause; so the other that remain, are retained for a discipline and order, which( upon just causes) may be altered and changed, and therefore are not to be esteemed equal with God's Law. And moreover, they be neither dark nor dumb Ceremonies, but are so set forth, that every man may understand what they do mean, and to what use they do serve. So that it is not like that they in time to come should be abused as other have been. And in these our doings we condemn no other Nations, nor prescribe any thing but to our own people only: For we think it convenient that every Country should use such Ceremonies as they shall think best to the setting forth of God's honour and glory, and to the reducing of the people to a most perfect and godly living, without error or superstition; and that they should put away other things, which from time to time they perceive to be most abused, as in men's ordiin divers countries. nances it often chanceth diversly
THE ORDER HOW THE PSALTER IS
APPOINTED TO BE READ.
THE Psalter shall be read
through once every Month, as it is there appointed, both for Morning and Evening Prayer. But in February it shall be read only to the twenty- eighth, or twenty- ninth day of the month.
And, whereas January, March, May, July, August, October, and December have One- and- thirty days apiece; It is ordered, that the same Psalms shall be read the last day of the said months, which were read the day before: So that the Psalter may begin again the first day of the next month ensuing.
And, whereas the 119th Psalm is divided into twenty- two portions, and is over- long to be read at one time; It is so ordered, that at one time shall not be read above four or five of the said portions.
And at the end of every Psalm, 119th Psalm, shall be repeated and of every such part of the this Hymn,
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is non', and ever shall be world without end. Amen.
Note, that the Psalter followeth the Division of the Hebrews, and the Translation of the great English Bible, set forth and used in the time of King Henry the Eighth, and Edward the Sixth.

1 THE ORDER HOW THE REST OF HOLY
SCRIPTURE IS APPOINTED
TO BE READ.
THE HE Old Testament is appointed for the first Lessons at Morning and Evening Prayer, so as the most part thereof will be read every year once, as in the Calendar is appointed.
The New Testament is appointed for the second Lessons at Morning and Evening Prayer, and shall be read over orderly every year twice, once in the Morning and once in the Evening, besides the Epistles and Gospels, except the Apocalypse, out of which there are only certain Lessons appointed at the end of the year, and certain Proper Lessons appointed upon
divers Feasts.
And to know what Lessons
shall be read every day, look for the day of the Month in the Calendar following, and there ye shall find the Chapters and portions of Chapters that shall be read for the Lessons, both at Morning and Evening Prayer, except only the Moveable Feasts, which are not in the Calendar, and the Immoveable, where there
is a blank left in the Column of
Lessons, the Proper Lessons for all which days are to be found in the Table of Proper Lessons.
If Evening Prayer is said at two different times in the same place of worship on any Sunday ( except a Sunday for which Alternative second Lessons are
specially appointed in the Table,) the second Lesson at the second time may, at the discretion of the Minister, be any Chapter from the four Gospels, or any Lesson appointed in the Table of Lessons from the four Gospels.
Upon occasions, to be approved by the Ordinary, other Lessons may, with his consent, be substituted for those which are ap. pointed in the Calendar,
And note, that whensoever
Proper Psalms or Lessons are appointed, then the Psalms and Lessons of ordinary course appointed in the Psalter and Calendar( if they be different) shall
be omitted for that time.
Note also, that upon occasions to be appointed by the Ordinary, other Psalms may, with his consent, be substituted for those appointed in the Psalter.
If any of the Holy- days for which Proper Lessons are appointed in the Table fall upon a Sunday which is the first Sunday in Advent, Easter- Day, WhitSunday, or Trinity- Sunday, the Lessons appointed for such Sunday shall be read, but if it fall upon any other Sunday, the Lessons appointed either for the Sunday or for the Holy- day may be read at the discretion of the Minister.
Note also, that the Collect, Epistle, and Gospel appointed for the Sunday shall serve all the week after, where it is not in this Book otherwise ordered.

THIS Table contains so much of the Calendar as is necessary for the determining of Easter; to find which, look for the Golden Number of the Year in the First Column of the Table, against which stands the Day of the Paschal Full Moon; then look in the Third Column for the Sunday
Letter, next after the Day of the Full
Moon, and the Day of the Month
standing against that Sunday Letter
is Easter- Day. If the Full Moon happens upon a Sunday, then( according to the First Rule) the next Sunday after is Easter- Day.
To find the Golden Number, or Prime, add 1 to the Year of our Lord, and then divide by 19; the Remainder, if any, is the Golden Number;
but if nothing remaineth, then 19 is the Golden Number.
To find the Dominical or Sunday Letter, according to the Galendar, until the Year 1799 inclusive, add to the Year of our Lord its Fourth Part, omitting Fractions; and also the Number 1: Divide the Sum by 7; and if there is no Remainder, then A is the Sunday Letter: But if any Number remaineth, then the Letter standing

against that Number in the small annexed Table, is the Sunday Letter.
For the next Century, that is, from the Year 1800 till the Year 1899 inclusive, add to the current Year only its Fourth Part, and then divide by 7, and proceed as in the last Rule. NOTE, That in all Bissextile or Leap- Years, the Letter found as above will be the Sunday Letter, from the intercalated Day exclusive to the End
of the Year.

Nors, That in a Bissextile or Leap- Year, the Number of Sundays after Epiphany will be the same, as if Easter- Day had fallen One Day later than it really does. And for the same Reason, One Day must, in every Leap- Year, be added to the Day of the Month given by the Table for Septuagesima Sunday: And the like must be done for the First Day of Lent( commonly called Ash- Wednesday) unless the Table gives some Day in the Month of March for it; for in that Case, the Day given by the Table is the right Day.

Here endeth the Order of Evening Prayer throughout the Year.

AT MORNING PRAYER.
Upon these Feasts; Christmas- day, the Epiphany, Saint Matthias, Easter- day, Ascension- day, Whitsunday, Saint John Baptist, Saint James, Saint Bartholomew, Saint Matthew, Saint Simon and Saint Jude, Saint Andrew, and upon Trinity- Sunday, shall be sung or said at Morning Prayer, instead of the Apostles' Creed, this Confession of our Christian Faith, commonly called The Creed of Saint Athanasius, by the Minister and people standing.

As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three Which Faith except every uncreated: but one unereone do keep whole and un- ated, and one incomprehendefiled without doubt he sible. shall perish everlastingly.
And the Catholick Faith is this That we worship one God in Trinity, and Tri- mighty. nity in Unity;
Neither confounding the Persons: nor dividing the Substance.
For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son: and another of the Holy Ghost.
But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one the Glory equal, the Majesty co- eternal.
Such as the Father is, such is the Son and such is the Holy Ghost.
The Father uncreate, the Son uncreate and the Holy Ghost uncreate.
The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible and the Holy Ghost incomprehensible.
And yet they are not three eternals: but one eternal.
The Father eternal, the Son eternal and the Holy Ghost eternal,
So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty: and the Holy Ghost AlAnd yet they are not three Almighties: but one Almighty.
So the Father is God, the Son is God and the Holy Ghost is God.
And yet they are not three Gods: but one God.
So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord and the Holy Ghost Lord.
And yet not three Lords: but one Lord.
For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity to acknowledge every Person by himself to be God and Lord;
So are we forbidden by the Catholick Religion: to say, There be three Gods, or three Lords.
The Father is made of none: neither created, nor begotten.
The Son is of the Father

alone not made, nor cre- inferior to the Father, as ated, but begotten.
touching his Manhood.
Who although he be God and Man: yet he is not two, but one Christ;
The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son: neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.
So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons: one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.
And in this Trinity none is afore, or after other: none is greater, or less than another;
But the whole three Persons are co- eternal together: and co- equal.
So that in all things, as is aforesaid: the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped.
He therefore that will be saved must thus think of the Trinity.
Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting salvation that he also believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess: that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man;
One; not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh: but by taking of the Manhood into God;
One altogether; not by confusion of Substance: but by unity of Person.
For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man: so God and Man is one Christ;
Who suffered for our salvation: descended into hell, rose again the third day from the dead.
He ascended into heaven, he sitteth on the right hand of the Father, God Almighty from whence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies and shall give account for their own works.
And they that have done good shall go into life everlasting and they that have done evil into everlasting fire.
This is the Catholick God, of the Substance of Faith which except a man the Father, begotten before believe faithfully, he cannot the worlds and Man, of be saved. the Substance of his Mother, born in the world;
Perfect God, and perfect Man of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting; Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead and
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end.
Amen.

And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, saying, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.

But they said, Not on the feast- day, lest there be an uproar of the people. And being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard, very precious: and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? for it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor: and they murmured against her. And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me: for ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good; but me ye have not always. She hath done what she could; she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.

And he will shew you a large upperroom furnished, and prepared: there make ready for us. And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. And as they sat, and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me. And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I? And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve that dippeth with me in the dish.

And they all forsook him, and fled. And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him: and he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked. And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests, and the elders, and the scribes. And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest; and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.

For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts.

And they beckoned unto their partners which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord. For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken; and so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were Jesus said unto Simon, Fear partners with Simon.

teousness shall exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the Kingdom of heaven. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill: and whosoever shall kill, shall be in danger of the judgement. But I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgement: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell- fire. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
The Epistle. Rom. vi. 3.
KNO NOW ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death; that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him; knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once; but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be
dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. And he came by the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the Law, then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: for mine eyes have seen thy salvation, which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

And, because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also.( Then were the days of unleavened bread.) And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of diers to keep him, intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. Peter therefore was kept in prison; but prayer was made without ceasing of the Church unto God for him. And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and the keepers before the door kept the prison. And behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison; and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And

And he went out and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.

THE ORDER OF THE
ADMINISTRATION OF THE LORD'S SUPPER,
OR
HOLY COMMUNION.
TSO many as intend to be partakers of the holy Communion shall signify their names to the Curate, at least some time the day before. And if any of those be an open and notorious evil liver, or have done any wrong to his neighbours by word or deed, so that the Congregation be thereby offended; the Curate, having knowledge thereof, shall call him and advertise him, that in any wise he presume not to come to the Lord's Table, until he hath openly declared himself to have truly repented and amended his former naughty life, that the Congregation may thereby be satisfied, which before were offended; and that he hath recompensed the parties, to whom he hath done wrong; or at least declare himself to be in full purpose so to do, as soon as he conveniently may.
1.The same order shall the Curate use with those betwixt whom he perceiveth malice and hatred to reign; not suffering them to be partakers of the Lord's Table, until he know them to be reconciled, And if one of the parties so at variance be content to forgive from the bottom of his heart all that the other hath trespassed against him, and to make amends for that he himself hath offended; and the other party will not be persuaded to a godly unity, but remain still in his frowardness and malice: the Minister in that case ought to admit the penitent person to the holy Communion, and not him that is obstinate. Provided that every Minister so repelling any, as is specified in this, or the next precedent Paragraph of this Rubrick, shall be obliged to give an account of the same to the Ordinary within fourteen days after at the farthest. And the Ordinary shall proceed against the offending person according to the Canon.
The Table, at the Communion- time having a fair white linen cloth upon it, shall stand in the Body of the Church, or in the Chancel, where Morning and Evening Prayer are appointed to be said. And the Priest standing at the North- side of the Tablo shall say the Lord's Prayer, with the Collect following, the people kneeling.
UR Father which art from whom no secrets are
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 lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil. Amen.

Then shall the Priest, turning to the people, rehearse distinctly all the TEN COMMANDMENTS; and the people still kneeling shall, after every Commandment, ask God mercy for their transgression thereof for the time past, and grace to keep the same for the time to come, as followeth,

EARLY beloved brethren, on- I intend, by God's grace, to celebrate the Lord's Supper: unto which, in God's behalf, I bid you all that are here present; and beseech you, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, that ye will not refuse to come thereto, being so lovingly called and bidden by God himself. Ye know how grievous and unkind a thing it is, when a man hath prepared a rich feast, decked his table with all kind of provision, so that there lacketh nothing but the guests to sit down; and yet they who are called( without any cause) most unthankfully refuse to come. Which of you in such a case would not be moved? Who would not think a great injury and wrong done unto him? Wherefore, most dearly beloved in Christ, take ye good heed, lest ye, withdrawing yourselves from this holy Supper, provoke God's indignation against you. It is an easy matter for a man to say, I will not communicate, because I am otherwise hindered with worldly business. But such excuses are not so easily accepted and allowed before God. If any man say, I am a grievous sinner, and therefore am afraid to come: wherefore then do ye not repent and amend? When God calleth you, are ye not ashamed to say ye will not
And because it is requisite, that no man should come to the holy Communion, but with a full trust in God's mercy, and with a quiet conscience; therefore if there be any of you, who by this means cannot quiet his own conscience herein, but requireth further comfort or counsel, let him come to me, or to some other discreet and learned Minister of God's Word, and open his grief; that by the ministry of God's holy Word he may receive the benefit of absolution, together with ghostly counsel and advice, to the quieting come?

THE MINISTRATION OF
PUBLICK BAPTISM OF INFANTS,
TO BE USED IN THE CHURCH.
The people are to be admonished, that it is most convenient that Baptism should not be administered but upon Sundays, and other Holy- days, when the most number of people come together; as well for that the Congregation there present may testify the receiving of them that be newly baptized into the number of Christ's Church; as also because in the Baptism of Infants every Man present may be put in remembrance of his own profession made to God in his Baptism. For which cause also it is expedient that Baptism be ministered in the vulgar tongue. Nevertheless,( if necessity so require,) Children may be baptized upon any other day.
And note, that there shall be for every Male- child to be baptized two Godfathers and one Godmother; and for every Female, one Godfather and two Godmothers.
When there are Children to be baptized, the Parents shall give knowledge thereof over night, or in the morning before the beginning of Morning Prayer, to the Curate. And then the Godfathers and Godmothers, and the people with the Children, must be ready at the Font, either immediately after the last Lesson at Morning Prayer, or else immediately after the last Lesson at Evening Prayer, as the Curate by his discretion shall appoint. And the Priest coming to the Font,( which is then to be filled with pure Water,) and standing there, shall say,

T Then shall the people stand up,
and the Priest shall say, Hear the words of the Gospel, written by Saint Mark, in the tenth Chapter, at the thirteenth
Verse.
THEY THEY brought young children to Christ, that he should touch them; and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much
displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
A God, heavenly Father, we give thee humble thanks, for that thou hast vouchsafed to call us to the knowledge of thy grace, and faith in thee: Increase this knowledge, and confirm this faith in us evermore. Give thy holy Spirit to this Infant, that he may be born again, and be made an heir of Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and everlasting salvation; through our reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever.

After the Gospel is read, the Minister shall make this brief Exhortation upon the words of the Gospel.
Then shall the Priest speak unto the Godfathers and Godmoth on this wise.

THE MINISTRATION OF
PRIVATE BAPTISM OF CHILDREN
IN HOUSES.
T The Curates of every Parish shall often admonish the people, that they defer not the Baptism of their Children longer than the first or second Sunday next after their birth, or other Holyday falling between, unless upon a great and reasonable cause, to be approved by the Curate.
And also they shall warn them, that without like great cause and necessity they procure not their Children to be baptized at home in their houses. But when need shall compel them so to do, then Baptism shall be administered on this fashion:
T First, let the Minister of the Parish( or, in his absence, any other lawful Minister that can be procured) with them that are present call upon God, and say the Lord's Prayer, and so many of the Collects appointed to be said before in the Form of Publick Baptism, as the time and present exigence will suffer. And then, the Child being named by some one that is present, the Minister shall pour Water upon it, saying these words;
NI baptize thee In the Name
of Father, Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Then, all kneeling down, the Minister shall give thanks unto God, and say,
W most merciful Father, that E yield thee hearty thanks,
it hath pleased thee to regenerate this Infant with thy holy Spirit, to receive him for thine own Child by adoption, and to incorporate him into thy holy Church. And we humbly beseech thee to grant, that as he is now made partaker of the death of thy Son, so he may be also of his resurrection; and that finally, with the residue thy Saints, he may inherit thine everlasting kingdom; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

But if the Child were baptized by any other lawful Minister, then the Minister of the Parish, where the Child was born or christened, shall examine and try whether the Child be lawfully baptized, or no. In which case, if those that bring any Child to the Church do answer, that the same Child is already baptized, then shall the Minister examine them further, saying,

that the Child so baptized is lawfully and sufficiently baptized, and ought not to be baptized again, Yet nevertheless, if the Child, which is after this sort baptized, do afterward live, it is expedient that it be brought into the Church, to the intent that, if the Minister of the same Parish did himself baptize that Child, the Congregation may be

kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

Amen.
Then shall the Priest say,
brethren, that this Child is by Baptism regenerate, and grafted into the body of Christ's Church, let us give thanks unto Almighty God for these benefits; and with one accord make our prayers unto him, that he may lead the rest of his life according to this beginning.
Then, all standing up, the MInister shall make this Exhortation to the Godfathers and Godmothers.
FORASMUCH as this Child hath promised by you his sureties to renounce the devil and all his works, to believe in God, and to serve him; ye must remember,
see that this Infant be taught, so soon as he shall be able to learn, what a solemn vow, promise, and profession he hath made by you. And that he may know these things the better, ye shall call

die from sin, and rise again unto righteousness; continually mortifying all our evil and corrupt affections, and daily proceeding in all virtue and godliness of living.
But if they which bring the Infant to the Church do make such uncertain answers to the Priest's questions, as that it cannot appear that the Child was baptized with Water, In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, ( which are essential parts of Baptism,) then let the Priest baptize it in the form before appointed for Publick Baptism of Infants; saving that at the dipping of the Child in the Font, he shall use this form of words,

TWhen any such persons, as are of riper years, are to be baptized, timely notice shall be given to the Bishop, or whom he shall appoint for that purpose, a week before at the least, by the Parents, or some other discreet persons; that so due care may be taken for their Examination, whether they be sufficiently instructed in the Principles of the Christian Religion; and that they may be exhorted to prepare themselves with Práyers and Fasting for the receiving of this holy Sacrament.
TAnd if they shall be found fit, then the Godfathers and Godmothers( the people being assembled upon the Sunday or Holyday appointed) shall be ready to present them at the Font immediately after the second Lesson, either at Morning or Evening Prayer, as the Curate in his discretion shall think fit.
TAnd standing there, the Priest shall ask, whether any of the persons here presented be baptized, or no: If they shall answer, No; then shall the Priest say thus,
EARLY beloved, forasmuch, didst sanctify the element of Water
born in sin,( and that which is born of the flesh is flesh,) and they that are in the flesh cannot please God, but live in sin, committing many actual transgressions; and that our Saviour Christ saith, None can enter into the kingdom of God, except he be regenerate and born anew of Water and of the holy Ghost; I beseech you to call upon God the Father, through our Lord Jesus Christ, that of his bounteous goodness he will grant to these persons that which by nature they cannot have; that they may be baptized with Water and the holy
Ghost, and received into Christ's holy Church, and be made lively
members of the same.
Then shall the Priest say, Let us pray.
( T And here all the Congregation shall kneel.)
LMIGHTY and everlasting A God, who of thy great mercy didst save Noah and his family in the ark from perishing by water; and also didst safely lead the children of Israel thy people through the Red Sea, figuring thereby thy holy Baptism; and by the Baptism of thy well- beloved Son Jecus Christ, in the river Jordan,
sin; We beseech thee, for thine infinite mercies, that thou wilt mercifully look upon these thy servants; wash them and sanctify them with the holy Ghost, that they, being delivered from thy wrath, may be received into the ark of Christ's Church; and being stedfast in faith, joyful through hope, and rooted in charity, may so pass the waves of this troublesome world, that finally they may come to the land of everlasting life, there to reign with thee world without end; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
LMIGHTY and immortal
A God, the aid of all that need, the helper of all that flee to thee
for succour, the life of them that believe, and the resurrection of the dead; We call upon thee for these persons, that they, coming remission of their sins by spiritual to thy holy Baptism, may receive regeneration. Receive them, O Lord, as thou hast promised by thy well- beloved Son, saying, Ask, and ye shall receive; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: So give now unto us that ask; let us that seek find; open the gate unto us that knock: that these persons may enjoy the everlasting benediction of thy heavenly washing, and may

come to the eternal kingdom which thou hast promised by Christ our Lord. Amen.
For which cause Saint Peter the Apostle, when upon his first preaching of the Gospel many said to him and the rest of the were pricked at the heart, and Apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? replied and said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is to you and your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words exhorted he them, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. For( as the same Apostle testifieth in another place) even Baptism doth also now save us,( not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience towards God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Doubt ye not therefore, but earnestly believe, that he will favourably receive these present persons, truly repenting, and coming unto him by faith; that he will grant them remission of their sins, and bestow upon them the holy Ghost; that he will give them the blessing of eternal life, and make them partakers of his everlasting kingdom.
T Then shall the people stand up, and the Priest shall say,
Hear the words of the Gospel, written by Saint John, in the third Chapter, beginning at the first Verse.
THE
HERE was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God; for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof; but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Wherefore we being thas persuaded of the good will of our heavenly Father towards these persons, declared by his Son Jesus Christ; let us faithfully and devoutly give thanks to him, and say,

Ye have heard also, that our Lord Jesus Christ hath promised in his holy Word to grant all those things that we have prayed for; which promise he, for his part, will most surely keep and perform.
Wherefore, after this promise made by Christ, ye must also faithfully, for your part, promise in the presence of these your Witnesses, and this whole congregation, that ye will renounce the devil and all his works, and constantly believe God's holy Word, and obediently keep his commandments.
Then shall the Priest demand of each of the persons to be baptized, severally, these Questions following:
Question,
OST thou renounce the devil DOST and all his works, the vain pomp and glory of the world, with all covetous desires of the same, and the carnal desires of the flesh, so that thou wilt not follow, nor be led by them?
Question.

Answer. I renounce them all. Question. D'Father Almighty, Maker of OST thou believe in God the
Answer. I will endeavour so to do, God being my helper.
Then shall the Priest say,

Grant that all carnal affections may die in them, and that all things belonging to the Spirit may live and grow in them. Amen.
Grant that they may have power and strength to have victory, and to triumph, against the devil, the world, and the flesh. Amen.
Grant that they, being here dedicated to thee by our office and ministry, may also be endued with heavenly virtues, and everlastingly rewarded, through thy mercy, 0 blessed Lord God, who dost live, and govern all things, world without end. Amen.

Amen.
T Then, all standing up, the Priest shall use this Exhortation following; speaking to the Godfathers and Godmothers first.
It is expedient that every person, thus baptized, should be confirmed by the Bishop so soon after his Baptism as conveniently, may be; that so he may be admitted to the holy Communion.
If any persons not baptized in their infancy shall be brought to be baptized before they come to years of discretion to answer for themselves; it may suffice to use the Office for Publick Baptism of Infants, or ( in case of extreme danger) the Office for Private Baptism; only changing the word[ Infant] for [ Child or Person] as occasion requireth.

A CATECHISM,
THAT IS TO SAY,
AN INSTRUCTION TO BE LEARNED OF EVERY PERSON, FEFORE HE BE BROUGHT TO BE CONFIRMED BY THE BISHOP.
Question, is your Name? or M. Question, Who gave you this Name?
Answer.
My Godfathers and Godmothers in my Baptism; wherein I was made a member of Christ, the child of God, and an inheritor of the kingdom of heaven.
Question. What did your Godfathers and Godmothers then for
you?
Answer. They did promise and vow three things in my name. First, that I should renounce the devil and all his works, the pomps and vanity of this wicked world, and all the sinful lusts of the flesh, Secondly, that I should believe all the Articles of the Christian Faith. And thirdly, that I should keep God's holy will and commandments, and walk in the same all the days of my life. Question. Dost thou not think that thou art bound to believe, and to do, as they have promised for thee?
Answer. Yes verily; and by God's help so I will. And I hearthat he hath called me to this state of salvation, through Jesus Christ our Saviour. And I pray unto God to give me his grace, that I may continue in the same unto my life's end.
Catechist.

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 at 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 Catholick Church; The Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body; And the Life everlasting. Amen.

I. Thou shalt have none other gods but me.
II. Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven image, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor worship them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, and visit the sins of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, and shew mercy unto thousands in them that love me, and keep my commandments.
III. Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in

IV. Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath- day. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all that thou hast to do; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. In it thou shalt do no manner of work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy manservant, and thy maid- servant, thy cattle, and the stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; wherefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it. V. Honour thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
VI. Thou shalt do no murder. VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
VIII. Thou shalt not steal. IX. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. X. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his.
Question,
What dost thou chiefly learn by these Commandments?

Catechist.
My good Child, know this, that thou art not able to do these things of thyself, nor to walk in the Commandments of God, and to serve him, without his special grace; which thou must learn at all times to call for by diligent prayer. Let me hear therefore, if thou canst say the Lord's Prayer.

say, Baptism, and the Supper of the Lord.
Question. What meanest thou by this word Sacrament?
Answer. I mean an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace given unto us, ordained by Christ himself, as a means whereby we receive the same, and a pledge to assure us thereof.
Question. How many parts are there in a Sacrament?
Answer. Two; the outward visible sign, and the inward spiritual grace.
Question, What is the outward visible sign or form in Baptism?
Answer. Water; wherein the person is baptized In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Question. What is the inward and spiritual grace?
Answer. A death unto sin, and a new birth unto righteousness: for being by nature born in sin, and the children of wrath, we are hereby made the children of grace.
Question, What is required of persons to be baptized?
Answer, Repentance, whereby they forsake sin; and Faith, whereby they stedfastly believe the promises of God made to them in that Sacrament.
Question, Why then are Infants baptized, when by reason of their tender age they cannot perform them?
Answer. Because they promise them both by their Sureties; which promise, when they come to age, themselves are bound to perform.
Question. Why was the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper ordained?
Answer. For the continual remembrance of the sacrifice of the death of Christ, and of the benefits which we receive thereby.
Question. What is the outward part or sign of the Lord's Supper?
Answer. Bread and Wine, which the Lord hath commanded to be received.
Question. What is the inward part, or thing signified?
Answer. The Body and Blood of Christ, which are verily and indeed taken and received by the faithful in the Lord's Supper.
Question, What are the benefits whereof we are partakers thereby?
Answer. The strengthening and refreshing of our souls by the Body and Blood of Christ, as our bodies are by the Bread and Wine.
Question. What is required of them who come to the Lord's Supper?
Answer. To examine themselves, whether they repent them truly of their former sins, stedfastly purposing to lead a new life; have a lively faith in God's mercy through Christ, with a thankful remembrance of his death; and be in charity with all men.
The Curate of every Parish shall diligently upon Sundays and Holy- days, after the second Lesson at Evening Prayer, openly in the Church instruct and examine so many Children of his Parish sent unto him, as he shall think convenient, in some part of this Catechism,
And all Fathers, Mothers, Masters, and Dames, shall cause their Children, Servants, and Apprentices,( which have not learned their Catechism,) to come to the Church at the time appointed, and obediently to hear, and be ordered by the Curate, until such time as they have learned all that is here appointed for them to learn.
So soon as Children are come to a competent age, and can say, in their Mother Tongue, the Creed, the Lord's Prayer, and the Ten Commandments; and also can answer to the other Questions of this short Catechism; they shall be brought to the Bishop. And every one shall have a Godfather, or a Godmother, as a Witness of their Confirmation.
And whensoever the Bishop shall give knowledge for Children to be brought unto him for their Confirmation, the Curate of every Parish shall either bring, or send in writing, with his hand subscribed thereunto, the names of all such persons within his Parish, as he shall think fit to be presented to the Bishop to be confirmed. And, if the Bishop approve of them, he shall confirm them in manner following.

THE ORDER OF CONFIRMATION,
OR LAYING ON OF HANDS UPON THOSE THAT ARE BAPTIZED AND COME TO YEARS OF DISCRETION.
Upon the day appointed, all that are to be then confirmed, being placed, and standing in order, before the Bishop; he( or some other Minister appointed by him) shall read this Preface following,
To 10 the end that Confirmation may be ministered to the more edifying of such as shall receive it, the Church hath thought good to order, That none hereafter shall be Confirmed, but such as can say the Creed, the Lord's Prayer,
and can also answer to such other Questions, as in the short Catechism are contained: which order is very convenient to be observed; to the end, that children, being now come to the years of discretion, and having learned what their Godfathers and Godmothers promised for them in Baptism, they may themselves, with their own mouth and consent, openly before the Church, ratify and confirm the same; and also promise, that by the grace of God they will evermore endeavour themselves faithfully to observe such things, as they, by their own confession, have assented unto.

Amen.
Then all of them in order kneeling before the Bishop, he shall lay his hand upon the head of every one severally, saying,
Then shall the Bishop say, The Lord be with you. Answer. And with thy spirit.

PUBLISH the Banns of Marriage between M. of- and N. of. If any of you know cause, or just impediment, why these two persons should not be joined together in holy Matrimony, ye are to declare it. This is the first [ second, or third] time of asking.
And there shall none be admitted to the holy Communion, until such time as he be cone firmed, or be ready and desirous to be confirmed.
THE FORM OF
SOLEMNIZATION OF MATRIMONY.
First the Banns of all that are to be married together must be published in the Church three several Sundays, during the time of Morning Service, or of Evening Service,( if there be no Morning Service,) immediately after the second Lesson; the Curate saying after the accustomed manner,
shall come into the body of the Church with their friends and neighbours: and there standing together, the Man on the right hand, and the Woman on the left, the Priest shall say,
And if the persons that are to thered together here in the be married dwell in divers sight of God, and in the face of Parishes, the Banns must be this congregation, to join together asked in both Parishes; and this Man and this Woman in holy the Curate of the one Parish Matrimony; which is an honour shall not solemnize Matrimony able estate, instituted of God in betwixt them, without a Certi- the time of man's innocency, sigficate of the Banns being thrice nifying unto us the mystical union asked, from the Curate of the that is betwixt Christ and his other Parish.

to be honourable among all men: and therefore is not by any to be enterprised, nor taken in hand, unadvisedly, lightly, or wantonly, to satisfy men's carnal lusts and appetites, like brute beasts that have no understanding; but reverently, discreetly, advisedly, so. M. WILT thou have this Woman to wife,
to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of Matrimony? Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour, and keep her in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?
duly considering the causes for which Matrimony was ordained.
First, It was ordained for the procreation of children, to be brought up in the fear and nurture of the Lord, and to the praise of his holy Name.
Secondly, It was ordained for a remedy against sin, and to avoid fornication; that such persons as have not the gift of continency might marry, and keep themselves undefiled members of Christ's body.
Thirdly, It was ordained for the mutual society, help, and comfort, that the one ought to have of the other, both in prosperity and adversity. Into which holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined. Therefore if any man can shew any just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace.
And also, speaking unto the persons that shall be married, he shall say
REQUIRE and charge you both, as ye will answer at the dreadful day of judgement when the secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed, that if either of you know any impediment, why ye may not be lawfully joined together in Matrimony, ye do now confess it. For be ye well assured, that so many as are coupled together otherwise than God's Word doth allow are not joined together by God; neither is their Matrimony lawful.
solemnization must be deferred, until such time as the truth be tried.
If no impediment be alledged, then shall the Curate say unto the Man,
The Man shall answer,
I will.
Then shall the Priest say unto
the Woman,
N.
TILT thou have this Man
W to thy wedded husband,

and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?
The Woman shall answer, I will.
Then shall the Minister say, Who giveth this Woman to be
married to this Man? Then shall they give their troth to each other in this manner. The Minister, receiving the Woman at her father's or friend's hands, shall cause the Man with his right hand to take the Woman by her right hand, and to say after him as followeth.

Hitherto ye have heard the duty of the husband toward the wife. Now likewise, ye wives, hear and learn your duties toward your husbands, even as it is plainly set forth in holy Scripture.
Saint Paul, in the aforenamed Epistle to the Ephesians, teacheth you thus; Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the Church: and he is the Saviour of the body. Therefore as the Church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. And again he saith, Let the wife see that she reverence her husband.
And in his Epistle to the Colossians, Saint Paul giveth you this short lesson; Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Saint Paul, in his Epistle to the Ephesians, the fifth Chapter, doth give this commandment to all married men; Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the Church, and gave himself for it, that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water, by the Word; that he might present it to himself a glorious Church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy, and without blemish. So ought men to Saint Peter also doth instruct love their wives as their own you very well, thus saying; Ye bodies. He that loveth his wife wives, be in subjection to your loveth himself: for no man ever own husbands; that, if any obey yet hated his own flesh, but nou- not the Word, they also may withrisheth and cherisheth it, even as out the Word be won by the conthe Lord the Church: for we are versation of the wives; while they members of his body, of his flesh, behold your chaste conversation and of his bones. For this cause coupled with fear. Whose adornshall a man leave his father and ing, let it not be that outward mother, and shall be joined unto adorning of plaiting the hair, and his wife; and they two shall be of wearing of gold, or of putting one flesh. This is a great mys- on of apparel; but let it be the tery; but I speak concerning Christ hidden man of the heart, in tha and the Church. Nevertheless, let which is not corruptible; even every one of you in particular so the ornament of a meek and quiet love his wife, even as himself. spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands; Hear also what Saint Peter, the even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, Apostle of Christ, who was him- calling him lord; whose daughters self a married man, saith unto ye are as long as ye do well, and them that are married; Ye hus- are not afraid with any amazebands, dwell with your wives ac- ment.
TAfter which, if there be no Sermon declaring the duties of Man and Wife, the Minister shall read as followeth A that intend to take the holy ALL ye that are married, or estate of Matrimony upon you, hear what the holy Scripture doth say as touching the duty of husbands towards their wives, and wives towards their husbands.
cording to knowledge; giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.
Likewise the same Saint Paul, writing to the Colossians, speaketh thus to all men that are married; Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
T It is convenient that the new- married persons should receive the holy Communion at the time of their Marriage, or at the first opportunity after their Marriage.

THE ORDER FOR
THE VISITATION OF THE SICK.
When any person is sick, notice shall be given thereof to the Minister of the Parish; who, coming into the sick person's house, shall say,

Therefore I shall rehearse to you
the Articles of our Faith, that you may know whether you do believe as a Christian man should, or no.
Here the Minister shall rehearse the Articles of the Faith, saying thus,
If the person visited be very sick, then the Curate may end his exhortation in this place, or else proceed.
TAKE therefore in good part
the chastisement of the Lord: For( as Saint Paul saith in the twelfth Chapter to the Hebrews) whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure with
as with sons; for what son is hether Almighty, Maker of OST thou believe
whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh, which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. These words, good brother, are written in holy Scripture for our comfort and instruction; that we should patiently, and with thanksgiving, bear our heavenly Father's correction, whensoever by any manner of adversity it shall please his gracious goodness to visit us. And there should be no greater comfort to Christian persons, than to be made like unto Christ, by suffering patiently adversities, troubles, and sicknesses. For he himself went not up to joy, but first he suffered pain; he entered not into his glory before he was crucified. So truly our way to eterInal joy is to suffer here with Christ; and our door to enter into eternal life is gladly to die with Christ; that we may rise again from death, and dwell with him in everlasting life. Now therefore, taking your sickness, which is thus profitable for you, patiently, I exhort you, in the Name of God, to remember the profession which you made unto God in your Baptism. And forasmuch as after this life there is an account to be given unto the righteous Judge, by whom all must be judged, without respect
heaven and earth?
And in Jesus Christ his onlybegotten Son our Lord? And that he was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary; that he suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; that he went down into hell, and also did rise again the third day; that he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; and from thence shall come again at the end of the world, to judge the quick and the dead?
And dost thou believe in the
Holy Ghost; the holy Catholick Church; the Communion of Saints; the Remission of sins; the Resurrection of the flesh; and everlasting life after death?
The sick person shall answer, All this I stedfastly believe.
Then shall the Minister examine whether he repent him truly of his sins, and be in charity with all the world; exhorting him to forgive, from the bottom of his heart, all persons that have offended him; and if he hath offended any other, to ask them forgiveness; and where he hath done injury or wrong to any man, that he make amends to the uttermost of his power. And if he hath not before disposed of his goods, let him then be admonished to make his Will, and to declare his Debts, what he oweth, and what is owing unto him; for the better discharging of his conscience, and the quietness of his Executors. But men should often be put in remembrance

to take order for the settling In te, Domine, speravi. Ps. lxxi. of their temporal estates, whilst they are in health.
These words before rehearsed may be said before the Minister begin his Prayer, as he shall
see cause.
The Minister should not omit earnestly to move such sick persons as are of ability to be liberal to the poor.
Be thou my strong hold, whereunto I may alway resort: thou hast promised to help me; for thou art my house of defence, and my castle.
Deliver me, 0 my God, out of the hand of the ungodly out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
For thou, O Lord God, art the thing that I long for thou art my hope, even from my youth.
Through thee have I been holden up ever since I was born: thou me

to absolve all sinners who truly repent and believe in him, of his great mercy forgive thee thine offences: And by his authority committed to me, I absolve thee from all thy sins, In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Here shall the sick person be moved to make a special Confession of his sins, if he feel his conscience troubled with any weighty matter. After which Confession, the Priest shall absolve him( if he humbly and heartily desire it) after this
sort.
And then the Priest shall say the Collect following.
Let us pray.

THE COMMUNION OF THE SICK.
T Forasmuch as all mortal men be subject to many sudden perils, diseases, and sicknesses, and ever uncertain what time they shall depart out of this life; therefore, to the intent they may be always in a readiness to die, whensoever it shall please Almighty God to call them, the Curates shall diligently from time to time( but especially in the time of pestilence, or other infectious sickness) exhort their Parishioners to the often receiving of the holy Communion of the Body and Blood of our Saviour Christ, when it shall be publickly administered in the Church; that so doing, they may, in case of sudden visitation, have the less cause to be disquieted for lack of the same.. But if the sick person be not able to come to the Church, and yet is desirous to receive the Communion in his house; then he must give timely notice to the Curate, signifying also how many there are to communicate with him,( which shall be three, or two at the least,) and having a convenient place in the sick man's house, with all things necessary so prepared, that the Curate may reverently minister, he shall there celebrate the holy Communion, beginning with the Collect, Epistle, and Gospel, here following.

At the time of the distribution of the holy Sacrament, the Priest shall first receive the Communion himself, and after minister unto them that are appointed to communicate with the sick, and last of all to the sick person.
But if a man, either by reason of extremity of sickness, or for want of warning in due time to the Curate, or for lack of company to receive with him, or by any other just impediment, do not receive the Sacrament of Christ's Body and Blood, the Curate shall instruet him, that if he do truly repent him of his sins, and stedfastly believe that Jesus Christ hath suffered death upon the Cross for him, and shed his Blood for his redemption, earnestly remembering the benefits he hath thereby, and giving him hearty thanks therefore, he doth eat and drink the Body. and Blood of our Saviour Christ profitably to his Soul's health, although he do not receive the Sacrament with his mouth.

Deliver me from all mine of fences and make me not a rebuke unto the foolish.
I became dumb, and opened not my mouth for it was thy doing.
Take thy plague away from me: I am even consumed by means of thy heavy hand.
When thou with rebukes dost chasten man for sin, thou makest his beauty to consume away, like as it were a moth fretting a garment: every man therefore is but
vanity.
Hear my prayer, O Lord, and with thine ears consider my calling: hold not thy peace at my
tears.
For I am a stranger with thee: and a sojourner, as all my fathers
were.
O spare me a little, that I may recover my strength before I go hence, and be no more seen.

30 So they did eat, and were well filled; for he gave them their own desire: they were not disappointed of their lust.
31 But while the meat was yet in their mouths, the heavy wrath of God came upon them, and slew the wealthiest of them: yea, and smote down the chosen men that were in Israel.
32 But for all this they sinned yet more and believed not his wondrous works.

THE
FORM AND MANNER
OF
MAKING, ORDAINING, AND CONSECRATING
OF
BISHOPS, PRIESTS, AND DEACONS,
ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF
The Church of England.
THE PREFACE.
IT is evident unto all men diligently reading the holy Scripture and ancient Authors, that from the Apostles' time there have been these Orders of Ministers in Christ's Church; Bishops, Priests, and Deacons. Which Offices were evermore had in such reverend Estimation, that no man might presume to execute any of them, except he were first called, tried, examined, and known to have such qualities as are requisite for the same; and also by publick Prayer, with Imposition of Hands, were approved and admitted thereunto by lawful Authority. And therefore, to the intent that these Orders may be continued, and reverently used and esteemed, in the Church of England; no man shall be accounted or taken to be a lawful Bishop, Priest, or Deacon in the Church of England, or suffered to execute any of the said Functions, except he be called, tried, examined, and admitted thereunto, according to the Form hereafter following, or hath had formerly Episcopal Consecration, or Ordination.
And none shall be admitted a Deacon, except he be Twenty- three years of age, unless he have a Faculty. And every man which is to be admitted a Priest shall be full Four- and- twenty years old. And every man which is to be ordained or consecrated Bishop shall be fully Thirty years of age.
And the Bishop, knowing either by himself, or by sufficient testimony, any Person to be a man of virtuous conversation, and without crime; and, after examination and trial, finding him learned in the Latin Tongue, and sufficiently instructed in holy Scripture, may at the times appointed in the Canon, or else, on urgent occasion, upon some other Sunday or Holy- day, in the face of the Church, admit him a Deacon, in such manner and form as hereafter followeth.

THE
FORM AND MANNER

MAKING OF DEACONS.
TWhen the day appointed by the Bishop is come, after Morning Prayer is ended, there shall be a Sermon or Exhortation, declaring the Duty and Office of such as come to be admitted Deacons; how necessary that Order is in the Church of Christ, and also, how the people ought to esteem them in their Office.
1 First the Archdeacon, or his Deputy, shall present unto the Bishop( sitting in his chair near to the holy Table) such as desire to be ordained Deacons,( each of them being decently habited,) saying these words,
present unto you these persons present, to be admitted Deacons. The Bishop.
TAKE heed that the persons, whom ye present unto us, be apt and meet, for their learning and godly conversation, to exercise their Ministry duly, to the honour of God, and the edifying of his
Church.
The Archdeacon shall answer,

ARTICLES
BY THE ARCHBISHOPS AND BISHOPS OF BOTH PROVINCES, AND THE WHOLE CLERGY,
In the Convocation holden at London in the Year 1562, for the avoiding of Diversities of Opinions, and for the establishing of Consent touchng true Religion: Reprinted by His Majesty's Commandment, with His Rogal Declaration prefixed thereunto.
HIS MAJESTY'S DECLARATION.
EING by God's Ordinance, according to Our just Title. Defender B the
Our Dontinions, We hold it most agreeable to this Our Kingly Office, and Our own religious Zeal, to conserve and maintain the Church committed to Our Charge, in the Unity of true Religion, and in the Bond of Peace; and not to suffer unnecessary Disputations, Altercations, or Questions to be raised, which may nourish Faction both in the Church and Commonwealth. We have therefore, upon mature Deliberation, and with the Advice of so many of Our Bishops as might conveniently be called together, thought fit to make this Declaration following:
That the Articles of the Church of England( which have been allowed and authorized heretofore, and which Our Clergy generally have subscribed unto) do contain the true Doctrine of the Church of England agreeable to God's Word: which We do therefore ratify and confirm. requiring all Our loving Subjects to continue in the uniform Profession thereof, and prohibiting the least difference from the said Articles; which to that End We command to be new printed, and this Our Declaration to be published therewith.
That We are Supreme Governour of the Church of England: And that if any Difference arise about the external Policy, concerning the Injunctions, Canons, and other Constitutions whatsoever thereto belong ing, the Clergy in their Convocation is to order and settle them, having first obtained leave under Our Broad Seal so to do and We approving their said Ordinances and Constitutions; providing that none be made contrary to the Laws and Customs of the Land.
That out of Our Princely Caree that the Churchmen may do the World which is proper unto them the Biops and Clerzy, from time teotime in Convocation upon their amste Deere, nnill linge Licence mier: Com Bread Sea too deliberate of, and tooddeallon Thinus as being rande prim by them and assenzed untoo by Dashailcomceem the sectile Dontiaanee off the Dooctrine aand Discapinne off the Church of 2ggiand mowesteliushed; trom wide Wee winoteandure aanyaarying or departing in the deast Degree.
That for the present, though some differences have been trained, vet We take coomfort in this, that all Clergymen within our teadm have always most willingly subscribed to the Articles established; which is an argument to Us, that they all agree in the true, usual, literal meaning of the said Articles; and that even in those curious points, in which the present differences lie, men of all sorts take the Articles of the Church of kinoland to be for them; which is a argument again, that some of them intend any desertion of the Articles established.

That therefore in three both enters and anitapoy differeness, which have for so many hundred years in different times and places, exerder the Church of Christ, We will, that all further curious search be laid asitle, and these disputes shut up in God's promises, as they be generally set forth to us in the holy Scriptures, and the general meaning of the Articles of the Church of England according to them. And that no man hereafter shall either print, or preach, to draw the Article aside any way, but shall submit to it in the plain and full meaning thereof: and shall not put his own sense or comment to be the meaning of the Article, but shall take it in the literal and grammatical sense.
That if any publick Reader in either of Our Universities, or any Head or Master of a College, or any other person respectively in either of them, shall affix any new sense to any Article, or shall publickly read, determine, or hold any publiek Disputation, or suffer any such to be held either way, in either the Universities or Colleges respectively; or if any Divine in the Universities shall preach or print any thing either way, other than is already established in Convocation with Our Royal Assent; he, or they the Offenders, shall be liable to Our displeasure, and the Church's censare in Our Commission Ecclesiastical, as well as any other: And We will see there shall be due Execution upon them.

THE Old Testament is not contrary to the New: for both in the Old and New Testament everlasting life is offered to Mankind by Christ, who is the only Mediator between God and Man, being both God and Man. Wherefore they are not to be heard, which feign that the old Fathers did look only for transitory promises. Although the Law given from God by Moses, as touching Ceremonies and Rites, do not bind Christian men, nor the Civil precepts thereof ought of necessity to be received in any commonwealth; yet notwithstanding, no Christian man whatsoever is free from the obedience of the Commandments which are called

XX. Of the Authority of the Church,
As the godly consideration of our Election
in Christ, is full of sweet, pleanTHE Church hath power to de sant, and unspeakable comfort to godly persons, and such as feel in themselves the working of the Spirit of Christ, mortifying the works of the flesh, and their earthly members, and drawing up their mind to high and heavenly things, as well because it doth greatly establish and confirm their faith of eternal Salvation to be enjoyed through Christ, as because it doth fervently kindle their love towards God: So, for curious and carnal persons, lacking the Spirit of Christ, to have continually before their eyes the sentence of God's Predestination, is a most dangerous downfal, whereby the Devil doth thrust them either into descree Rites or and authority in Controversies of Faith: And yet it is not lawful for the Church to ordain any thing that is contrary to God's Word written, neither may it so expound one place of Scripture, that it be repugnant to another. Wherefore, although the Church be a witness and a keeper of holy Writ, yet, as it

Furthermore, we must receive God's promises in such wise, as they be generally set forth to us in holy Scripture: and, in our doings. that Will of God is to be followed, which we have express ly declared unto us in the Word of God.

XIX. Of the Church.

As the Church of Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Antioch, have erred; so also the Church of Rome hath erred, not only in their living and manner of Ceremonies, but also in matters of Faith.
XXI. Of the Authority of General Councils.
GENERAL Councils may not be commandment and will of Princes. gathered the And when they be gathered toge ther,( forasmuch as they be an assembly of men, whereof all be not governed with the Spirit and Word of God,) they may err, and sometimes have erred, even in things pertaining unto God. Wherefore things ordained by them as necessary to salvation have neither strength nor authority, unless it may be declared that they be taken out of holy Scripture.
XXII. Of Purgatory.
THE Romish Doctrine concern ing Purgatory, Pardons, shipping and Adoration, as well of Images as of Reliques, and also invocation of Saints, is a fond thing vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word
of God.
XXIII. Of Ministering in the Congregation.
T is not lawful for any man to publick preaching, or ministering take upon him the office of the Sacraments in the Congregation, before he be lawfully called, and sent to execute the same. And those we ought to judge lawfully called and sent, which be chosen and called to this work by men who have publick authority given unto them in the Congregation,

The Body of Christ is given, taken, and eaten, in the Supper, only after an heavenly and spiritual manner. And the mean whereby the Body of Christ is received and eaten in the Supper is Faith.

XXXIV. Of the Traditions of the
Church.
T is not necessary that Traditions and Ceremonies be in all places one, or utterly like; for at all times they have been divers, and may be changed according to the diversities of countries, times, and men's manners, so that nothing be ordained against God's Word. Whosoever through his private judgement, willingly and purposely, doth openly break the traditions and ceremonies of the Church, which be not repugnant to the Word of God, and be ordained and approved by common authority, ought to be rebuked openly,( that others may fear to do the like,) as he that offendeth against the common order of the Church, and hurteth the authority of the Magistrate, and woundeth the consciences of the weak brethren,

Morning.
1" Early in the morning will I direct my prayer unto Thee."
N° W
OW that the daylight fills the sky, We lift our hearts to GOD on high, That He, in all we do or say, Would keep us free from harm to- day.
May He restrain our tongues from strife, And shield from anger's din our life, And guard with watchful care our eyes From earth's absorbing vanities.
O may our inmost hearts be pure, From thoughts of folly kept secure, And pride of sinful flesh subdued Through sparing use of daily food.
08
So we, when this day's work is o'er, sade And shades of night return once more, T Our path of trial safely trod, Shall give the glory to our GOD.
All praise to GOD the FATHER be, All praise, Eternal SON, to Thee, Whom with the SPIRIT we adore For ever and for evermore. Amen.

2" He that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but
shall have the light of life."
Thou Brightness of the FATHER'S Face, Thou Fountain of eternal light, True Day dispersing shades of night; Come, Very Sun of heavenly love, Come in Thy radiance from above, b And shed the HOLY SPIRIT's ray
On every thought and sense to- day. vom I (( 1)

MORNING.
So we the FATHER'S help will claim, And sing the FATHER'S glorious Name, And His Almighty grace implore That we may stand, to fall no more.
May He our actions deign to bless, And quench the darts of wickedness; In life's rough ways our feet defend, And grant us patience to the end.
May faith, deep rooted in the soul, Subdue our flesh, our minds control; May guile depart and discord cease, And all within be truth and peace.
So let us gladly pass the day, Our thoughts as pure as morning ray, Our faith as noontide glowing bright,
Our minds undimmed by shades of night.
All praise to GOD the FATHER be, All praise, Eternal SON, to Thee, Whom with the SPIRIT we adore For ever and for evermore. Amen.
PART 2.
" I myself will awake right early." AWAKE, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run; Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise To pay thy morning sacrifice.
Redeem thy mis- spent time that's past, And live this day as if thy last; Improve thy talent with due care;[ LA For the great day thyself prepare.
w mod
Let all thy converse be sincere, Thy conscience as the noon- day clear; Think how all- seeing GoD thy ways And all thy secret thoughts surveys. Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart, And with the Angels bear thy part, Who all night long unwearied sing High praise to the Eternal King. fic to asbude

Glory to Thee Who safe hast kept, And hast refreshed me while I slept; Grant, LORD, when I from death shall wake,
I may of endless light partake.

MORNING.
LORD, I my vows to Thee renew;
Scatter my sins as morning dew;
Guard my first springs of thought and will, And with Thyself my spirit fill.
Direct, control, suggest, this day,
All I design, or do, or say;.
That all my powers, with all their might, In Thy sole glory may unite.
The following Doxology should be sung at the end of either
Part.
5
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him, all creatures here below,
A Praise Him above, Angelic host,
Praise FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST. Amen.
4" His compassions fail not: they are new every morning."
NEW every morning is the love
Our wakening and uprising prove; Through sleep and darkness safely brought, Restored to life, and power, and thought.
New mercies, each returning day, Hover around us while we pray; New perils past, new sins forgiven, New thoughts of GoD, new hopes of heaven.
If on our daily course our mind
Be set to hallow all we find,
New treasures still, of countless price, GOD will provide for sacrifice.
The trivial round, the common task, Will furnish all we need to ask, Room to deny ourselves, a road To bring us daily nearer GOD.
Only, O LORD, in Thy dear love Fit us for perfect rest above; And help us, this and every day, To live more nearly as we pray. Amen.
" Whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." " Do all in the name of the Lord Jesus."

MORNING.
Now with the new- born day I give Myself anew to Thee, That as Thou willest I may live, And what Thou willest be.
Whate'er I do, things great or small, Whate'er I speak or frame, Thy glory may I seek in all, Do all in JESU's Name.

" Hold Thou me up, and I shall be safe: yea, my delight
shall be ever in Thy statutes.'
AT T Thy feet, O CHRIST, we lay
Thine own gift of this new day: Doubt of what it holds in store Makes us crave Thine aid the more: Lest it prove a time of loss, Mark it, Saviour, with Thy Cross.
If it flow on calm and bright,
Be Thyself our chief delight; If it bring unknown distress, Good is all that Thou canst bless: Only, while its hours begin, Pray we, keep them clear of sin.
We in part our weakness know, And in part discern our foe; Well for us, before Thine eyes All our danger open lies; Turn not from us, while we plead Thy compassions and our need.
M
Fain would we Thy Word embrace, Live each moment in Thy grace, All our selves to Thee consign, Fold up all our wills in Thine, Think, and speak, and do, and be Simply that which pleases Thee. Hear us, LORD, and that right soon; Hear, and grant the choicest boon That Thy love can e'er impart, Loyal singleness of heart; So shall this and all our days, CHRIST Cur GOD, shew forth Thy praise.

I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, LORD, abide with me.
I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness; Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
Hold Thou Thy Cross before my closing eyes;

O that fervent love to- day May in every heart have sway, Teaching us to praise aright GOD the Source of life and light.
FATHER, Who didst fashion me Image of Thyself to be, Fill me with Thy love Divine, Let my every thought be Thine.
Holy JESUS, may I be
Dead and buried here with Thee; And, by love inflamed, arise Unto Thee a sacrifice.

GAIN the LORD's own day is here, The day to Christian people dear, As, week by week, it bids them tell How JESUS rose from death and hell.
For by His flock their LORD declared His Resurrection should be shared; And we who trust in Him to save With Him are risen from the grave.
We, one and all, of Him possest. Are with exceeding treasures blest; For all He did, and all He bare, He gives us as our own to share.
Eternal glory, rest on high, A blessèd immortality,
True peace and gladness, and a throne, Are all His gifts, and all our own.
And therefore unto Thee we sing, O LORD of peace, Eternal King; Thy love we praise, Thy Name adore, Both on this day and evermore. Amen.

The light first had its birth; 8pct On thee for our salvation a CHRIST rose from depths of earth; On thee our LORD victorious
The SPIRIT sent from heaven; And thus on thee most glorious A triple light was given.
Thou art a cooling fountain In life's dry dreary sand; From thee, like Pisgah's mountain, We view our promised land; A day of sweet refection,
A day of holy love, A day of resurrection
From earth to things above. To- day on weary nations
The heavenly Manna falls, To holy convocations not
The silver trumpet calls, Where Gospel- light is glowing With pure and radiant beams, And living water flowing bitg With soul- refreshing streams. New graces ever gaining
From this our day of rest, We reach the Rest remaining To spirits of the blest;

To Thee, Blest THREE in ONE. Amen..

On weary brain and troubled breast
Shed Thou Thy freshening dew.

And sinners through the vanquished world Bow down to its command.
Its light the joy of heaven reveals To hearts made pure within;
And bids them seek by worthy deeds Eternal crowns to win.
By faith the saints of old were strong The lion's wrath to tame;
By faith they spurned the tyrant's threats, And scorned the raging flame.
LORD, grant that we the path may tread Whereon its light doth shine;

Against Thy gentle sway; Proud dust of earth would fain be like The GoD Whom all obey.

For the crown that fadeth never Bear the torturer's brief endeavour; Victory waits to end the strife: Death shall be thy life's beginning, And life's losing be the winning Of the true and better life.
Filled with God's most Holy SPIRIT, See the heaven thou shalt inherit, Stephen, gaze into the skies: There God's glory steadfast viewing, Thence thy victor- strength renewing, Pant for thy eternal prize.
See, as Jewish foes invade thee, See how JESUS stands to aid thee,
Stands at GOD's right hand on high: Tell how opened heaven is shown thee, Tell how JESUS waits to own thee, Tell it with thy latest cry.
As the dying Martyr kneeleth, For his murderers he appealeth,
For their madness grieving sore; Then in CHRIST he sleepeth sweetly, And with CHRIST he reigneth meetly,
Martyr first- fruits, evermore. Amen. ( 40)

And thence did that angelic love His inmost spirit fill,
Which, once enkindled from above, Breathes in his pages still.

WORD Supreme, before creation
Born of GoD eternally, Who didst will for our salvation To be born on earth, and die; Well Thy saints have kept their station, Watching till Thine hour drew nigh.
Now' tis come, and faith espies Thee; Like an eaglet in the morn, One in steadfast worship eyes Thee, Thy beloved, Thy latest born: In Thy glory he descries Thee Reigning from the tree of scorn. He upon Thy Bosom lying
Thy true tokens learned by heart; And Thy dearest pledge in dying,
LORD, Thou didst to him impart; Shew'dst him how, all grace supplying, Blood and water from Thee start. He first, hoping and believing, Did beside the grave adore; Latest he, the warfare leaving, Landed on the eternal shore; And his witness we receiving
Own Thee LORD for evermore. Much he asked in loving wonder, On Thy Bosom leaning, LORD; In that secret place of thunder
Answer kind didst Thou accord, Wisdom for Thy Church to ponder Till the day of dread award.

They passed unconsciously the flood, And safely gained the shore.
Glory to Thee for all
The ransomed infant band,
Who since that hour have heard Thy call, And reached the quiet land.
O that our hearts within,
Like theirs, were pure and bright;
O that as free from deeds of sin
We shrank not from Thy sight.

Thy cleansing grace to claim;
In life to glorify Thy power,
In death to praise Thy Name. Amen.

With FATHER, SPIRIT, ever ONE,

O
BLESSED day, when first was poured The Blood of our Redeeming LORD! O blessèd day, when first began His sufferings borne for sinful man!
Scarce entered on this life of woe, His Infant Blood begins to flow; A foretaste of His death He feels, An earnest of His love reveals.
From heaven descending to fulfil The bidding of His FATHER'S Will, A victim even now He lies Before the day of sacrifice.
For love of us His woes begin; The Sinless suffers for our sin; The Law's great Maker for our aid Obedient to the Law is made.
The wound He through the Law endures Our freedom from that Law secures; Henceforth a holier law prevails, The law of love which never fails.
LORD, circumcise our hearts, we pray, And take what is not Thine away; Write Thine own Name within our hearts, Thy law upon our inmost parts.
O LORD, the Virgin- born, to Thee Eternal praise and glory be,
Whom with the FATHER we adore
And HOLY GHOST for evermore. Amen.

If in mercy Thou wilt spare Joys that yet are mine; If on life, serene and fair, Brighter rays may shine; Let my glad heart, while it sings, Thee in all proclaim,
And, whate'er the future brings, Glorify Thy Name.
If Thou callest to the Cross, And its shadow come, Turning all my gain to loss, Shrouding heart and home; Let me think how Thy dear SON To His glory came,
And in deepest woe pray on, " Glorify Thy Name." Amen.

THE EPIPHANY.
The Epiphany.
" The Life was manifested, and we have seen it."
HOW vain the cruel Herod's fear,
When told that CHRIST the King is near! He takes not earthly realms away, Who gives the realms that ne'er decay.
The Eastern sages saw from fardwal And followed on His guiding star; By light their way to Light they trod. And by their gifts confessed their GOD.
Within the Jordan's sacred flood
The heavenly LAMB in meekness stood, That He, to Whom no sin was known, Might cleanse His people from their own.
And oh, what miracle Divine, When water reddened into wine!
He spake the Word, and forth it flowed In streams that nature ne'er bestowed.
All glory, JESU, be to Thee
For this Thy glad Epiphany:
Whom with the FATHER we adore l
And HOLY GHOST for evermore. Amen.
76" And thou, Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda; for out of thee shall come a governor, that shall rule My people Israel."
EARTH has many a noble city;
Bethlehem, thou dost all excel: Out of thee the LORD from heaven Came to rule His Israel.
Fairer than the sun at morning
Was the star that told His birth, To the world its GoD announcing Seen in fleshly form on earth.
Eastern sages at His cradle
Make oblations rich and rare; See them give, in deep devotion,
Gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

THE EPIPHANY.
Sacred gifts of mystic meaning:
Incense doth their GoD disclose, Gold the King of kings proclaimeth, Myrrh His sepulchre foreshows.
JESU, Whom the Gentiles worshipped At Thy glad Epiphany,
Unto Thee, with GOD the FATHER And the SPIRIT, glory be. Amen.
" We have seen His star in the east."
WHAT star is this, with beams so bright,
More beauteous than the noonday light? It shines to herald forth the King, And Gentiles to His cradle bring.
See now fulfilled what GOD decreed, " From Jacob shall a star proceed;" And eastern sages with amaze Upon the wondrous vision gaze.
The guiding star above is bright; Within them shines a clearer light, Which leads them on with power benign To seek the Giver of the sign.
True love can brook no dull delay; Nor toil nor dangers stop their way: Home, kindred, father- land, and all They leave at their Creator's call.
O JESU, while the star of grace Allures us now to seek Thy Face, Let not our slothful hearts refuse The guidance of that light to use.
All glory, JESU, be to Thee For this Thy glad Epiphany,
Whom with the FATHER we adore
And HOLY GHOST for evermore. Amen.
78" And He went down with them, and came to Nazareth. and was subject unto them."
THE Heavenly Child in stature grows,

His coming agony.

THE EPIPHANY.
The Son of GOD His glory hides
With parents mean and poor; And He, Who made the heavens, abides In dwelling- place obscure.
Those mighty Hands that rule the sky No earthly toil refuse;
The Maker of the stars on high An humble trade pursues.
He, Whom the choirs of Angels praise Bearing each dread decree,
His earthly parents now obeys In deep humility.
For this Thy lowliness revealed, JESU, we Thee adore;
And praise to GOD the FATHER yield And SPIRIT evermore. Amen.
As S with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold, As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious LORD, may we Evermore be led to Thee.
79" When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding
great joy."
As with joyful steps they sped, Saviour, to Thy lowly bed, There to bend the knee before Thee Whom heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek the mercy- seat.
As they offered gifts most rare At Thy cradle rude and bare; So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, CHRIST, to Thee our heavenly King.

Holy JESUS, every day
Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. ( 50)

For Thou their burden dost remove, And break the tyrant's rod, As in the day when Midian fell Before the sword of GOD.

And on His Shoulder ever rests
All power in earth and heaven.
His Name shall be the Prince of peace,
The Everlasting LORD, 14 The Wonderful, the Counsellor, The GoD by all adored.
His righteous government and power Shall over all extend;

Lord Jesus Christ."
THE Royal Banners forward go,
The Cross shines forth in mystic glow; Where He in Flesh, our flesh Who made, Our sentence bore, our ransom paid.
There whilst He hung, His sacred Side By soldier's spear was opened wide, To cleanse us in the precious flood Of Water mingled with His Blood. Fulfilled is now what David told In true prophetic song of old, How GoD the heathen's King should be; For GoD is reigning from the Tree.
O Tree of glory, Tree most fair, Ordained those Holy Limbs to bear, How bright in purple robe it stood, The purple of a Saviour's Blood! ( 62)

Upon its arms, like balance true,
He weighed the price for sinners due, The price which none but He could pay, And spoiled the spoiler of his prey.
To Thee, Eternal THREE in ONE, Let homage meet by all be done:
As by the Cross Thou dost restore,
So rule and guide us evermore. Amen.
This Hymn may be sung daily till Thursday before Easter.

" The cross of our Lord Jesus Christ."
SING, my tongue, the glorious battle,
Sing the last, the dread affray; O'er the Cross, the Victor's trophy, Sound the high triumphal lay, How, the pains of death enduring, Earth's Redeemer won the day.
He, our Maker, deeply grieving That the first- made Adam fell, When he ate the fruit forbidden
Whose reward was death and hell, Marked e'en then this Tree the ruin Of the first tree to dispel.
Thus the work for our salvation He ordainèd to be done; To the traitor's art opposing
Art yet deeper than his own; Thence the remedy procuring Whence the fatal wound begun.
Therefore, when at length the fulness
Of the appointed time was come, He was sent, the world's Creator,
From the FATHER'S heavenly home, And was found in human fashion, Offspring of the Virgin's womb.
Lo! He lies, an Infant weeping,
Where the narrow manger stands, While the Mother- Maid His members Wraps in mean and lowly bands, And the swaddling clothes is winding Round His helpless Feet and Hands. ( 63)

PART 2.
THE FIFTH SUNDAY IN LENT.
Now the thirty years accomplished Which on earth He willed to see, Born for this, He meets His Passion, Gives Himself an offering free; On the Cross the LAMB is lifted, There the Sacrifice to be.
There the nails and spear He suffers, Vinegar, and gall, and reed; From His sacred Body piercèd
Blood and Water both proceed; Precious flood, which all creation From the stain of sin hath freed.
Faithful Cross, above all other One and only noble Tree, None in foliage, none in blossom, None in fruit thy peer may be; Sweetest wood, and sweetest iron; Sweetest weight is hung on thee.
Bend, O lofty Tree, thy branches, Thy too rigid sinews bend; And awhile the stubborn hardness,
Which thy birth bestowed, suspend; And the Limbs of heaven's high Monarch Gently on thine arms extend.
Thou alone wast counted worthy This world's ransom to sustain, That a shipwrecked race for ever Might a port of refuge gain, With the sacred Blood anointed Of the LAMB for sinners slain.

Praise and honour to the FATHER, Praise and honour to the SON, Praise and honour to the SPIRIT, Ever THREE and ever ONE, One in might, and One in glory, While eternal ages run. Amen.

In a garden man became
Heir of sin, and death, and shame; JESUS in a garden wins
Life, and pardon for our sins; Through His hour of agony Praying in Gethsemane.
There for us He intercedes; There with GOD the FATHER pleads;
Willing there for us to drain To the dregs the cup of pain, That in everlasting day
He may wipe our tears away.

" Looking unto Jesus."
O'ERWHELMED in depths of woe,
Upon the Tree of scorn Hangs the Redeemer of mankind, With racking anguish torn.
See how the nails those Hands And Feet so tender rend;
See down His Face, and Neck, and Breast His sacred Blood descend.
Oh, hear that last, loud cry
Which pierced His Mother's heart, bab As into GOD the FATHER's hands
He bade His soul depart.
Earth hears, and trembling quakes Around that tree of pain;
The rocks are rent; the graves are burst; The veil is rent in twain.
Shall man alone be mute?
Have we no griefs, or fears?
Come, old and young, come, all mankind, And bathe those Feet in tears.
Come, fall before His Cross Who shed for us His Blood; Who died, the Victim of pure love, To make us sons of GOD.
JESU, all praise to Thee,
Our Joy and endless Rest;

Be Thou our Guide while pilgrims here, Our Crown amid the blest. Amen.

Thy Blood."
HE,

Whelmed the world beneath the flood, Once again in mercy cleansed it
With His own most precious Blood, Coming from His Throne on high On the painful Cross to die.
O the wisdom of the Eternal! O the depth of love Divine! O the sweetness of that mercy
Which in JESUS CHRIST did shine! We were sinners doomed to die; JESUS paid the penalty.

" He was wounded for our transgressions."
soul, voice
Tell in sweet and mournful strain How the Crucified, enduring
Grief, and wounds, and dying pain, Freely of His love was offered, Sinless was for sinners slain. Please
Scourged with unrelenting fury For the sins which we deplore, By His livid Stripes He heals us, Raising us to fall no more; All our bruises gently soothing, Binding up the bleeding sore.
See! His Hands and Feet are fastened; So He makes His people free; Not a wound whence Blood is flowing But a fount of grace shall be;
do Yea the very nails which nail Him Nail us also to the Tree.
Through His Heart the spear is piercing, Though His foes have seen Him die; Blood and Water thence are streaming In a tide of mystery, Water from our guilt to cleanse us, Blood to win us crowns on high.
JESU, may those precious fountains Drink to thirsting souls afford: Let them be our cup and healing, And at length our full reward; So a ransomed world shall ever Praise Thee, its redeeming LORD. Amen.

HYMNS ON THE PASSION.
" Behold the Man."
SINNER, lift the eye of faith, To true repentance turning; Bethink thee of the curse of sin,
Its awful guilt discerning; Upon the Crucified One look, And thou shalt read, as in a book, What well is worth thy learning.
Look on His Head, that bleeding Head, With crown of thorns surrounded; Look on His sacred Hands and Feet
Which piercing nails have wounded; See every Limb with scourges rent: On Him, the Just, the Innocent, What malice hath abounded!
" Tis not alone those Limbs are racked, But friends too are forsaking; And more than all, for thankless man That tender Heart is aching; Oh, fearful was the pain and scorn, By JESUS, Son of Mary, borne,
Their peace for sinners making.
None ever knew such pain before, Such infinite affliction, None ever felt a grief like His In that dread crucifixion: For us He bare those bitter throes, For us those agonizing woes, In oft- renewed infliction.
O sinner, mark, and ponder well Sin's awful condemnation; Think what a sacrifice it cost To purchase thy salvation; Had JESUS never bled and died, Then what could thee and all betide But uttermost damnation?
LORD, give us grace to flee from sin, And Satan's wiles ensnaring, And from those everlasting flames For evil ones preparing. JESU, we thank Thee, and entreat To rest for ever at Thy Feet,
Thy heavenly glory sharing. Amen. ( 69)

My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride.
Forbid it, LORD, that I should boast Save in the Cross of CHRIST my GOD; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His Blood.
See from His Head, His Hands, His Feet, Sorrow and love flow mingling down; Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were an offering far too small; Love so amazing, so Divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.
To CHRIST, Who won for sinners grace By bitter grief and anguish sore,
Be praise from all the ransomed race For ever and for evermore. Amen.

How fast His Hands and Feet are nailed; His Throat with parching thirst is dried; His failing Eyes are dimmed with Blood; JESUS, our LORD, is crucified.
Seven times He spake, seven Words of love; And all three hours His silence cried For mercy on the souls of men; JESUS, our LORD, is crucified.
Come, let us stand beneath the Cross;
So may the Blood from out His Side og S Fall gently on us drop by drop; JESUS, our LORD, is crucified.

( 75)

HYMNS ON THE PASSION.
For me was that compassion, For me that tender care; I need His wide forgiveness As much as any there.
It was my pride and hardness That hung Him on the Tree; Those cruel nails, O Saviour, Were driven in by me.
And often I have slighted
Thy gentle voice that chid; Forgive me too, LORD JESUS; I knew not what I did.
O depth of sweet compassion! O Love Divine and true!
Save Thou the souls that slight Thee, And know not what they do. Amen.
116" Terilly I say unto ther, To- day shalt thou be with Me in Paradise.
Lo ORD, when Thy Kingdom comes, remember me," Thus spake the dying lips to dying Ears; O faith, which in that darkest hour could see The promised glory of the far- off years!
No kingly sign declares that glory now, No ray of hope lights up that awful hour; A thorny crown surrounds the bleeding Brow, The Hands are stretched in weakness, not in power.
Yet hear the Word the dying Saviour saith, " Thou too shalt rest in Paradise to- day;" O Words of love to answer words of faith! O Words of hope for those who live to pray!
LORD, when with dying lips my prayer is said, Grant that in faith Thy kingdom I may see; And, thinking on Thy Cross and bleeding Head, May breathe my parting words," Remember me.'

Remember me, but not my shame or sin;
Thy cleansing Blood hath washed them all away; Thy precious Death for me did pardon win; Thy Blood redeemed me in that awful day.

HYMNS ON THE PASSION.
Remember me; yet how canst Thou forget What pain and anguish I have caused to Thee, The Cross, the Agony, the Bloody Sweat, And all the sorrow Thou didst bear for me?

" Woman, behold thy son... Behold thy mother."
AT the Cross her station keeping
Stood the mournful Mother weeping, Where He hung, the dying LORD; For her soul of joy bereaved, Bowed with anguish, deeply grieved, Felt the sharp and piercing sword.
Oh, how sad and sore distressed Now was she, that Mother blessed of the sole- begotten One; Deep the woe of her affliction, When she saw the Crucifixion Of her ever- glorions Son.
Who, on CHRIST's dear Mother gazing Pierced by anguish so amazing,
Born of woman, would not weep? Who, on CHRIST's dear Mother thinking Such a cup of sorrow drinking,
Would not share her sorrows deep?
I BIL
For His people's sins chastised, She beheld her Son despised,
Scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined; Saw Him then from judgment taken, And in death by all forsaken, Till His Spirit He resigned.
JESU, may her deep devotion Stir in me the same emotion,
Fount of love, Redeemer kind, That my heart fresh ardour gaining, And a purer love attaining,
May with Thee acceptance find. Amen.

Silent through those three dread hours, Wrestling with the evil powers, Left alone with human sin, Gloom around Thee and within, Till the appointed time is nigh, Till the LAMв of GOD may die.
Hark that cry that peals aloud Upward through the whelming cloud! Thou, the FATHER'S only SON, Thou, His own Anointed One, Thou dost ask Him- can it be?" Why hast Thou forsaken Me?"
LORD, should fear and anguish roll Darkly o'er my sinful soul,

Teach me by that bitter cry
In the gloom to know Thee nigh. Amen.
" I thirst."
HIS are the thousand sparkling rills,
That from a thousand fountains burst,
And fill with music all the hills; And yet He saith," I thirst."
All fiery pangs on battle- fields, On fever beds where sick men toss, Are in that human cry He yields To anguish on the Cross.
But more than pains that racked Him then Was the deep longing thirst Divine, That thirsted for the souls of men: Dear LORD! and one was mine.
O Love most patient, give me grace; Make all my soul athirst for Thee; That parched dry Lip, that fading Face,
That Thirst were all for me. Amen.

In the gloomy realms of darkness Shines a light unknown before, For the LORD of dead and living Enters at the open door.

Lo! the heavenly light around Him As He draws His people near; All amazed they stand rejoicing At the gracious Words they hear.
For Himself proclaims the story Of His own Incarnate life, And the death He died to save us, Victor in that awful strife.

Oh, the bliss to which He calls them. Ransomed by His precious Blood, From the gloomy reaim of darkness To the Paradise of God!

Through the wave that drowns the foe. Praise we CHRIST, Whose Blood was shed, Paschal Victim, Paschal Bread; With' sincerity and love
Eat we Manna from above.
Mighty Victim from the sky,
Hell's fierce powers beneath Thee lie; Thou hast conquered in the fight, Thou hast brought us life and light; Now no more can death appal, Now no more the grave enthral;. Thou hast opened Paradise, And in Thee Thy saints shall rise. ( 84)

EASTER.
Easter triumph, Easter joy, Sin alone can this destroy; From sin's power do Thou set free Souls new- born, O LORD, in Thee. Hymns of glory and of praise, Risen LORD, to Thee we raise; Holy FATHER, praise to Thee, With the SPIRIT, ever be. Amen.
128" Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us; therefore let us keep the feast."
THE
THE LAMB's high banquet called to share, Arrayed in garments white and fair, The Red Sea past, we fain would sing To JESUS our triumphant King.
Upon the altar of the Cross
His Body hath redeemed'our loss; And, tasting of His precious Blood, Our life is hid with Him in GOD.
Protected in the Paschal night From the destroying Angel's might, In triumph went the ransomed free From Pharaoh's cruel tyranny.
Now CHRIST our Passover is slain, The LAMB of GOD without a stain; His Flesh, the true unleavened Bread, Is freely offered in our stead.
O all- sufficient Sacrifice, Beneath Thee hell defeated lies; Thy captive people are set free, And crowns of life restored by Thee.
We hymn Thee rising from the grave, From death returning, strong to save; Thine own Right Hand the tyrant chains, And Paradise for man regains.

All praise be Thine, O risen LORD, From death to endless life restored; All praise to GOD the FATHER be And HOLY GHOST eternally. Amen. ( 85)

Creator, unto we sing, With God the FATHER ever ONE, Co- equal, co- eternal SON,
Thy Hand, when first the world began, Made in Thine own pure Image man, And linked to fleshly form of earth A living soul of heavenly birth.
And when the envious crafty foe Had marred Thy noblest work below, Thou didst our ruined state repair By deigning flesh Thyself to wear..
Once of a Virgin born to save,
And now new- born from death's dark grave, O CHRIST, Thou bidd'st us rise with Thee From death to immortality.
Eternal Shepherd, Thou art wont
To cleanse Thy sheep within the font, That mystic bath, that grave of sin, Where ransomed souls new life begin.
Divine Redeemer, Thou didst deign To bear for us the Cross of pain, And freely pay the precious price Of all Thy Blood in sacrifice.
JESU, do Thou to every heart Unceasing Paschal joy impart: From death of sin and guilty strife Set free the new- born sons of life.
All praise be Thine, O risen LORD, From death to endless life restored; All praise to GOD the FATHER be And HOLY GHOST eternally. Amen.

The round world keep high triumph, And all that is therein;
Let all things- seen and unseen

ASCENSIONTIDE.
While He lifts His Hands in blessing, He is parted from His friends; While their eager eyes behold Him, He upon the clouds ascends; He Who walked with God, and pleased Him, Preaching truth and doom to come, He, our Enoch, is translated
To His everlasting home.
Now our heavenly Aaron enters, With His Blood, within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan,
And the kings before Him quail; Now He plants the tribes of Israel In their promised resting- place; Now our great Elijah offers Double portion of His grace.
He has raised our human nature
On the clouds to GOD's right hand; There we sit in heavenly places,
There with Him in glory stand: JESUS reigns, adored by Angels;
MAN with GOD is on the Throne; Mighty LORD, in Thine Ascension We by faith behold our own.
HOLY GHOST, Illuminator,
Shed Thy beams upon our eyes, Help us to look up with Stephen, And to see, beyond the skies, Where the SON of Man in glory
Standing is at GOD's right hand, Beckoning on His Martyr army, Succouring His faithful band;
See Him, Who is gone before us Heavenly mansions to prepare, See Him, Who is ever pleading
For us with prevailing prayer, See Him, Who with sound of trumpet And with His Angelic train, Summoning the world to judgment, On the clouds will come again.
Raise' us up from earth to heaven, Give us wings of faith and love, Gales of holy aspirations
Wafting us to realms above; ( 101)

In His heavenly citadel. So at last, when He appeareth,

Flocking round our Heavenly King, Caught up on the clouds of heaven, And may meet Him in the air, Rise to realms where He is reigning, And may reign for ever there.
The following Doxology may be sung at the end of either Part.
Glory be to GOD the FATHER; Glory be to GOD the SON, Dying, risen, ascending for us,

Each heart receives the FATHER'S light, The WORD's enkindling glow;

Who straight in divers tongues declare
The wonders of the LORD.

Like to quivering tongues of flame Unto each the SPIRIT came, Tongues, that earth might hear their call, Fire, that love might burn in all.

Hardened scoffers vainly jeered; Listening strangers heard and feared, Knew the prophet's word fulfilled, Owned the work which Gon had willed.

HEN GOD of old came down from heaven, In power and wrath He came; Before His feet the clouds were riven, Half darkness and half flame:
But, when He came the second time, He came in power and love; Softer than gale at morning prime Hovered His holy Dove.
The fires, that rushed on Sinai down In sudden torrents dread,
Now gently light, a glorious crown, On every sainted head.
And as on Israel's awe- struck ear The voice exceeding loud,
The trump, that Angels quake to hear, Thrilled from the deep, dark cloud;
So, when the SPIRIT of our GOD
Came down His flock to find,
A voice from heaven was heard abroad, A rushing, mighty wind.
It fills the Church of GoD; It fills The sinful world around;
Only in stubborn hearts and wills
No place for It is found.
Come, LORD, come Wisdom, Love, and Power, Open our ears to hear;
Let us not miss the accepted hour;
Save, LORD, by love or fear. Amen.
155" And the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls."
SPIRIT of mercy, truth, and love,
O shed Thine influence from above; And still from age to age convey The wonders of this sacred day.

Give them joys that never end. Amen. This Hymn may also be sung at other seasons.

Two worlds are ours:' tis only sin Forbids us to descry

For us He prayed, for us He taught, For us His daily works He wrought, By words, and signs, and actions, thus Still seeking not Himself but us.
For us to wicked men betrayed, Scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed, He bore the shameful Cross and death; For us at length gave up His breath. ( 118)

We did not see Thee lifted high
Amid that wild and savage crew, Nor heard Thy meek, imploring cry,
" Forgive, they know not what they do;" Yet we believe the deed was done, Which shook the earth and veiled the sun.
We stood not by the empty tomb
Where late Thy sacred Body lay, Nor sat within that upper room, Nor met Thee in the open way; But we believe that Angels said, Why seek the living with the dead?"

We did not mark the chosen few,

Doth shine upon our wilderness; But we believe Thy faithful Word, And trust in our Redeeming LORD. Amen.

When Moses stood with arms spread wide, Success was found on Israel's side; But when through weariness they failed, That moment Amalek prevailed.

In wisest love, we pray,
Look on this babe, who at Thy gracious call Is entering on life's way; Bend o'er him in Thy tenderness, Thine image on his soul impress;
O FATHER, hear!
O Son of GOD, Who diedst for us, behold, We bring our child to Thee;
Thou tender Shepherd, take him to Thy fold, Thine own for aye to be;
Defend him through this earthly strife,
And lead him on the path of life,
O Son of GOD!
O HOLY GHOST, Who broodedst o'er the wave, Descend upon this child;
Give him undying life, his spirit lave With waters undefiled;

To CHRIST his heart and treasure give, And in the SPIRIT ever live;
That so before the judgment- seat In joy and triumph ye may meet; The battle fought, the struggle o'er, The kingdom yours for evermore.
Praise GOD, from Whom all blessings flow,

In token that thou too shalt tread The path He travelled by, Endure the cross, despise the shame, And sit thee down on high;
Thus outwardly and visibly
We seal thee for His own;, And may the brow that wears His Cross Hereafter share His Crown. Amen.

" The Child Jesus.'
ONCE in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a Mother laid her Baby In a manger for His bed; Mary was that Mother mild, JESUS CHRIST her little Child.
He came down to earth from heaven Who is GoD and LORD of all, And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a.stall;
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
to Lived on earth our Saviour Holy.
And, through all His wondrous Childhood, 828 He would honour and obey, Love, and watch the lowly Maiden, In whose gentle arms He lay; Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as He.
For He is our childhood's pattern, Day by day like us He grew, He was little, weak, and helpless, Tears and smiles like us He knew; And He feeleth for our sadness, And He shareth in our gladness.
And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own redeeming love, For that Child so dear and gentle Is our LORD in heaven above; And He leads His children on To the place where He is gone.
Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall see Him; but in heaven, f Set at God's right hand on high; When like stars His children crowned All in white shall wait around. Amen.

Which Angel voices tell, How once the King of glory Came down on earth to dwell. I am both weak and sinful,
But this I surely know,
The LORD came down to save me, W Because He loved me so. I love to hear the story
Which Angel voices tell, How once the King of glory Came down on earth to dwell.
I'm glad my Blessed Saviour
Was once a Child like me, To shew how pure and holy His little ones might be; And if I try to follow
His footsteps here below, He never will forget me, Because He loves me so. I love to hear the story
Which Angel voices tell, How once the King of glory od Came down on earth to dwell.
To sing His love and mercy
My sweetest songs I'll raise; And though I cannot see Him
I know He hears my praise; For He has kindly promised That even I may go To sing among His Angels, Because He loves me so. I love to hear the story
Which Angel voices tell, How once the King of glory

We know the Holy Innocents Laid down for Him their infant life, And Martyrs brave and patient Saints Have stood for Him in fire and strife.
We wear the cross they wore of old, Our lips have learned like vows to make; We need not die; we cannot fight; What may we do for JESUS' sake?
Oh, day by day, each Christian child Has much to do, without, within; A death to die, for JESUS' sake, A weary war to wage with sin.
When deep within our swelling hearts The thoughts of pride and anger rise, When bitter words are on our tongues, And tears of passion in our eyes;
Then we may stay the angry blow, Then we may check the hasty word, Give gentle answers back again, And fight a battle for our LORD.
With smiles of peace, and looks of love, Light in our dwellings we may make, Bid kind good humour brighten there, And still do all for JESUS' sake.
There's not a child so small and weak But has his little cross to take,
His little work of love and praise bit That he may do for JESUS' sake. Amen.
332" While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
THERE is a green hill far away, Without a wall, Where the dear LORD was crucified, Who died to save us all.

He hung and suffered there.
He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heaven, Saved by His precious Blood.

" He took them up in His arms."
CHRIST, Who once amongst us
As a Child did Is the children's Saviour,
And He loves us well; If we keep our promise
Made Him at the Font, He will be our Shepherd, And we shall not want.
There it was they laid us In those tender Arms, Where the lambs are carried Safe from all alarms; If we trust His promise, He will let us rest In His Arms for ever, Leaning on His Breast.
Though we may not see Him For a little while, i We shall know He holds us, Often feel His smile; Death will be to slumber
In that sweet embrace, And we shall awaken To behold His Face.
He will be our Shepherd After as before,
By still heavenly waters Lead us evermore,
Make us lie in pastures
Beautiful and green,
Where none thirst or hunger,
And no tears are seen.

For all Thy love imparts, And, what Thou most desirest, Our humble, thankful hearts.
All good gifts around us
Are sent from heaven above, Then thank the LORD, O thank the LORD,
For all His love. Amen.

HARVEST.
" Thou crownest the year with Thy goodness."
To Thee, O LORD, our hearts we raise In hymns of adoration, To Thee bring sacrifice of praise With shouts of exultation; Bright robes of gold the fields adorn, The hills with joy are ringing, The valleys stand so thick with corn That even they are singing.
And now, on this our festal day, Thy bounteous Hand confessing, Upon Thine Altar, LORD, we lay
The first- fruits of Thy blessing; By Thee the souls of men are fed With gifts of grace supernal, Thou, Who dost give us earthly bread, Give us the Bread Eternal.
We bear the burden of the day, And often toil seems dreary; But labour ends with sunset ray, And rest comes for the weary; May we, the Angel- reaping o'er, Stand at the last accepted, CHRIST's golden sheaves for evermore To garners bright elected.
Oh, blessèd is that land of GOD, Where Saints abide for ever; Where golden fields spread far and broad, Where flows the crystal river: The strains of all its holy throng With ours to- day are blending; Thrice blessèd is that harvest- song Which never hath an ending. Amen.

GOD the WORD, the sun maturing With his blessèd ray the corn Spake of Thee, O Sun enduring, Thee, O everlasting Morn, Thee in Whom our woes find curing, Thee that liftest up our horn.
GOD the HOLY GHOST, the showers That have fattened out the grain, Types of Thy celestial powers, Symbols of baptismal rain, Shadowed out the grace that dowers All the faithful of Thy train.
When the harvest of each nation Severs righteousness from sin, And Archangel- proclamation Bids to put the sickle in, And each age and generation Sink to woe, or glory win;
Grant that we, or young, or hoary, Lengthened be our span or brief, Whatsoe'er the life- long story Of our joy or of our grief, May be garnered up in glory As Thine own elected sheaf.
Laud to Him to Whom supernal
Thrones and Virtues bend the knee; Laud to Him from Whom infernal Powers and Dominations flee; Laud to Him the Co- eternal

" Behold a sower went forth to sow." E sower went forth sowing, The seed in sccret slept Through weeks of faith and patience, Till out the green blade crept; And warmed by golden sunshine, And fed by silver rain,
At last the fields were whitened To harvest once again. O praise the heavenly Sower. Who gave the fruitful seed, And watched and watered duly, And ripened for our need. ( 267)

HARVEST.
Behold! the heavenly Sower Goes forth with better seed, The Word of sure salvation,
With Feet and Hands that bleed; Here in His Church' tis scattered, Our spirits are the soil; Then let an ample fruitage Repay His pain and toil. Oh, beauteous is the harvest
Wherein all goodness- thrives, And this the true thanksgiving, The first- fruits of our lives.
Within a hallowed acre
He sows yet other grain, When peaceful earth receiveth The dead He died to gain; For though the growth be hidden, We know that they shall rise;
Yea even now they ripen
In sunny Paradise.

O summer land of harvest,
O fields for ever white
With souls that wear CHRIST's raiment, With crowns of golden light!
One day the heavenly Sower
Shall reap where He hath sown, And come again rejoicing,
And with Him bring His own; And then the fan of judgment Shall winnow from His floor The chaff into the furnace That flameth evermore. O holy, awful Reaper,
Have mercy in the day Thou puttest in Thy sickle, And cast us not away. Amen.
387" The harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers

For crops safe carried, sent to cheer Thy servants through another year; For all sweet holy thoughts supplied By seed- time, and by harvest- tide. ( 268)

HARVEST.
The bare dead grain, in autumn sown, Its robe of vernal green puts on; Glad from its wintry grave it springs, Fresh garnished by the King of kings: So, LORD, to those who sleep in Thee Shall new and glorious bodies be.
Nor vainly of Thy Word we ask A lesson from the reaper's task: So shall Thine Angels issue forth; The tares be burnt; the just of earth, To wind and storm exposed no more, Be gathered to their FATHER'S store.
Daily, O LORD, our prayers be said, As Thou hast taught, for daily bread; But not alone our bodies feed,
Supply our fainting spirits' need:
O Bread of life, from day to day,
Be Thou their Comfort, Food, and Stay. Amen.
388" Thou visitest the earth, and blessest it; Thou makest it very plenteous."

ATHER of mercies, GoD of love, Whose gifts all creatures share, The rolling seasons as they move Proclaim Thy constant care.
When in the bosom of the earth
The sower hid the grain,
Thy goodness marked its secret birth,
And sent the early rain.
The spring's sweet influence, LORD, was Thine,
The seasons knew Thy call;
Thou mad'st the summer sun to shine,
The summer dews to fall.
Thy gifts of mercy from above
Matured the swelling grain;
And now the harvest crowns Thy love, And plenty fills the plain.

O ne'er may our forgetful hearts
O'erlook Thy bounteous care,
But what our FATHER'S Hand imparts Still own in praise and prayer.

What our FATHER does is well; Though He sadden hill and dell, Upward yet our praises rise
For the strength His Word supplies; He has called us sons of GOD,

Therefore unto Him we raise Hymns of glory, songs of praise; To the FATHER, and the SON, And the SPIRIT, THREE in ONE, Honour, might, and glory be

Shew Thy promised Presence there!" Let the gracious Word be spoken Here, as once on n's height, " This shall be My rest for ever, This My dwelling of delight."

Lo! the Book exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded; Thence shall judgment be awarded.
When the Judge His seat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unavenged remaineth.
What shall I, frail man, be pleading, Who for me be interceding, When the just are mercy needing?
King of Majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity, then befriend us!
Think, good JESU, my salvation Caused Thy wondrous Incarnation; Leave me not to reprobation.
Faint and weary Thou hast sought me, On the Cross of suffering bought me; Shall such grace be vainly brought me?
Righteous Judge! for sin's pollution Grant Thy gift of absolution, Ere that day of retribution.
Guilty, now I pour my moaning, All my shame with anguish owning; Spare, O GOD, Thy suppliant groaning.
Thou the sinful woman savedst; Thou the dying thief forgavest; And to me a hope vouchsafest.
Worthless are my prayers and sighing; Yet, good LORD, in grace complying, Rescue me from fires undying.
With Thy favoured sheep O place me, Nor among the goats abase me, But to Thy right hand upraise me. ( 281)

JESUS calls us; o'er the tumult
Of our life's wild restless sea Day by day His sweet voice soundeth, Saying," Christian, follow Me:"
As of old Saint Andrew heard it By the Galilean lake,
Turned from home, and toil, and kindred, Leaving all for His dear sake. JESUS calls us from the worship
Of the vain world's golden store, From each idol that would keep us, Saying," Christian, love Me more."
In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still He calls, in cares and pleasures, That we love Him more than these.
JESUS calls us: by Thy mercies,
Saviour, make us hear Thy call, Give our hearts to Thine obedience, Serve and love Thee best of all. Amen.
St. Thomas the Apostle. " Be not faithless, but believing." HOW oft, O LORD, Thy Face hath shone
On doubting souls whose wills were true! Thou CHRIST of Cephas and of John, Thou art the CHRIST of Thomas too.
He loved Thee well, and calmly said, " Come, let us go, and die with Him:" Yet when Thine Easter- news was spread, ' Mid all its light his eyes were dim.
His brethren's word he would not take, But craved to touch those Hands of Thine: The bruisèd reed Thou didst not break; He saw, and hailed his LORD Divine.
He saw Thee risen; at once he rose To full belief's unclouded height; And still through his confession flows To Christian souls Thy life and light. ( 285)

405" The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedar trees; yea the Lord breaketh the cedars of Libanus."
THE Shepherd now was smitten; The wolf was.ravening near; The scattered flock he threatened, But knew not Whose they were.
In zealous fury seeking
To bind and crucify,
A sudden voice withheld him, A loud and startling cry:
" Saul! Saul! why blindly daring To persecute thy LORD? " Tis JESUS Whom thou hatest, Rebel not at My Word."
Then forth in prayer he stretcheth Those hands prepared to slay;
" What would'st Thou with Thy servant? My LORD and Master, say."
CHRIST's foe becomes His soldier,
The wolf destroys no more,
A gentle lamb he enters
The sheepfold by the door. O voice of GOD Almighty,
What wonders hath it wrought! It rends the lofty cedars,
It bends the haughty thought. JESU, our Shepherd, cease not Thy flock from harm to free, And, when Thy sheep are wandering, O lead them back to Thee.
To FATHER, SON, and SPIRIT All glory, praise, and might,
Who called us out of darkness
To His own glorious light. Amen.

406" He which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed."
WE E sing the glorious conquest
Before Damascus' gate, When Saul, the Church's spoiler,
Came breathing threats and hate; The ravening wolf rushed forward Full early to the prey; But lo! the Shepherd met him, And bound him fast to- day.
Oh, glory most excelling
That smote across his path! Oh, light that pierced and blinded The zealot in his wrath! Oh, voice that' spake within him The calm reproving word! Oh, love that sought and held him The bondman of his LORD!
O Wisdom, ordering all things In order strong and sweet, What nobler spoil was ever Cast at the Victor's feet? What wiser master- builder
E'er wrought at Thine employ Than he, till now so furious
Thy building to destroy?
LORD, teach Thy Church the lesson, Still in her darkest hour Of weakness and of danger
To trust Thy hidden power: Thy Grace by ways mysterious The wrath of man can bind, And in Thy boldest foeman
Thy chosen Saint can find. Amen.

When the foeman's step is nigh, When the wolf lays wait by night For the lambs continually, Watch, 0 LORD, about us keep, Guard us, Shepherd of the sheep.
When the hireling flees away, Caring only for his gold, And the gate unguarded stands At the entrance to the fold, Stand, O LORD, Thy flock before, Thou the Guardian, Thou the Door. ( 288)

ST. MATTHIAS THE APOSTLE.
LORD, Whose guiding finger ruled In the casting of the lot, That Thy Church might fill the throne
Of the lost Iscariot,
In our trouble ever thus
Stand, good Master, nigh to us.
When the Saints their order take In the New Jerusalem, And Matthias stands elect,
Give us part and lot with him, Where in Thine own dwelling- place We may witness face to face. Amen.
The Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
409" Behold, a Virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His Name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."
PRAISE we the LORD this day,
This day so long foretold, Whose promise shone with cheering ray On waiting saints of old.
The Prophet gave the sign For faithful men to read; A Virgin, born of David's line, Shall bear the promised Seed.
Ask not how this should be, But worship and adore; Like her, whom heaven's majesty Came down to shadow o'er.

The following Hymns are suitable:
449 The GoD, Whom earth, and sea, and sky. 450 Shall we not love thee, Mother dear.
St. Mark the Evangelist.
" The face of a lion on the right side."
FROM
ROM out the cloud of amber light, Borne on the whirlwind from the north, Four living creatures winged and bright Before the Prophet's eye came forth.
The voice of GOD was in the Four Beneath that awful crystal mist, And every wondrous form they wore Foreshadowed an Evangelist.
The lion- faced, he told abroad
The strength of love, the strength of faith; He shewed the Almighty SON of GOD, The Man Divine Who won by death.
O Lion of the Royal Tribe,
Strong Son of GoD, and strong to save, All power and honour we ascribe To Thee Who only makest brave.
303
For strength to love, for will to speak,
For fiery crowns by Martyrs won,
For suffering patience, strong and meek,
We praise Thee, LORD, and Thee alone. Amen.
St. Philip and St. James the Apostles. 411" Philip saith unto Him, Lord, shew us the Father and
it sufficeth us."
" James, a servant of God." THERE is one Way, and only one, Out of our gloom, and sin, and care, To that far land where shines no sun Because the Face of GoD is there.
( 290)

ST. PHILIP AND ST. JAMES THE APOSTLES.
There is one Truth, the Truth of GoD,
That CHRIST came down from heaven to show, One Life that His redeeming Blood Has won for all His saints below.
413
The lore from Philip once concealed, We know its fulness now in CHRIST; In Him the FATHER is revealed, And all our longing is sufficed.
And still unwavering faith holds sure
The words that James wrote sternly down;
Except we labour and endure,
We cannot win the heavenly crown.
O Way Divine, through gloom and strife, drook
Bring us Thy FATHER'S Face to see;
O heavenly Truth, O precious Life,
At last, at last, we rest in Thee. Amen.
St. Barnabas the Apostle.
412" He was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost, and of faith; and much people was added unto the Lord."
BRIGHTLY did the light Divine
From his words and actions shine, Whom the Twelve, with love unblamed, " Son of consolation" named. So med.
Full of peace and lively joy Sped he on his high employ, By mild exhorting word Adding many to the LORD.
Blessed SPIRIT, Who didst call Barnabas and holy Paul,
And didst them with gifts endue, Mighty words and wisdom true,
Grant us, LORD of life, to be By their pattern full of Thee; That beside them we may stand
In that day on CHRIST's right hand. Amen.
ATA
" Joses, who by the Apostles was surnamed Barnabas, which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation." OSON of GOD, our Captain of Salvation, Thyself by suffering schooled to human grief, We bless Thee for Thy sons of consolation, Who follow in the steps of Thee their Chief; ( 291)

ST. BARNABAS THE APOSTLE.
Those whom Thy SPIRIT's dread vocation severs To lead the vanguard of Thy conquering host; Whose toilsome years are spent in brave endeavours To bear Thy saving Name from coast to coast;
Those whose bright faith makes feeble hearts grow stronger, And sends fresh warriors to the great campaign, Bids the lone convert feel estranged no longer, And wins the sundered to be one again;
And all true helpers, patient, kind, and skilful, Who shed Thy light across our darkened earth, Counsel the doubting, and restrain the wilful, Soothe the sick bed, and share the children's mirth.
Such was Thy Levite, strong in self- oblation To cast his all at Thine Apostles' feet; He whose new name, through every Christian nation, From age to age our thankful strains repeat.
Thus, LORD, Thy Barnabas in memory keeping,
Still be Thy Church's watchword," Comfort ye;" Till in our FATHER's house shall end our weeping, And all our wants be satisfied in Thee. Amen.
The Nativity of St. John Baptist.
414" Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 0! from the desert homes,
Lo Where he hath hid so long,
The new Elias comes,
In sternest wisdom strong; The voice that cries
OF CHRIST from high,
And judgment nigh
From opening skies.
Your GoD e'en now doth stand
At heaven's opening door; His fan is in His hand,
And He will purge His floor;
The wheat He claims
And with Him stows,
The chaff He throws To quenchless flames ( 292)

THE NATIVITY OF ST. JOHN BAPTIST.
Ye haughty mountains, bow
Your sky- aspiring heads; Ye valleys, hiding low,
Lift up your gentle meads; Make His way plain Your King before, For evermore He comes to reign.
May thy dread voice around,
Thou harbinger of Light, On our dull ears still sound, Lest here we sleep in night, Till judgment come,
And on our path Shall burst the wrath, And deathless doom.
O GOD, with love's sweet might, Who dost anoint and arm CHRIST'S soldier for the fight
With grace that shields from harm,
Thrice Blessèd THREE,
Heaven's endless days
Shall sing Thy praise
Eternally. Amen.
415" Behold I will send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me."
THE great forerunner of the morn,
The herald of the WORD, is born: And faithful hearts shall never fail With thanks and praise his light to hail.
With heavenly message Gabriel came, That John should be that herald's name, And with prophetic utterance told His actions great and manifold.
John, still unborn, yet gave aright His witness to the coming Light; And CHRIST, the Sun of all the earth, Fulfilled that witness at His Birth.
Of woman- born shall never be A greater Prophet than was he, Whose mighty deeds exalt his fame To greater than a Prophet's name. ( 293)

THE NATIVITY OF ST. JOHN BAPTIST.
But why should mortal accents raise The hymn of John the Baptist's praise? Of whom, or e'er his course was run, Thus spake the FATHER to the SON: MILLSTUE
" Behold My herald, who shall go Before Thy Face Thy way to show, And shine, as with the day- star's gleam, Before Thine own eternal beam."
All praise to GOD the FATHER be, All praise, Eternal SON, to Thee, Whom with the SPIRIT we adore For ever and for evermore. Amen.
St. Peter the Apostle.
" Lovest thou Me?"
FOR
ORSAKEN once, and thrice denied, The risen LORD gave pardon free, Stood once again at Peter's side,
And asked him," Lov'st thou Me?" THI
How many times with faithless word Have we denied His holy Name, How oft forsaken our dear LORD, And shrunk when trial came!
Saint Peter, when the cock crew clear, Went out, and wept his broken faith; Strong as a rock through strife and fear, He served his LORD till death.
How oft his cowardice of heart We have without his love sincere, The sin without the sorrow's smart, The shame without the tear!
O oft forsaken, oft denied, die he Forgive our shame, wash out our sin; Look on us from Thy FATHER's side And let that sweet look win.
Hear when we call Thee from the deep, Still walk beside us on the shore, Give hands to work, and eyes to weep,
And hearts to love Thee more. Amen.
( 294)

ST. PETER THE APOSTLE.
417" Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."
" THOU art the CHRIST, O LORD,
The Son of GOD most high!"
For ever be adored
That Name in earth and sky,
In which, though mortal strength may fail, The Saints of GOD at last prevail!
Oh, surely he was blest With blessedness unpriced, Who, taught of GOD, confessed The GODHEAD in the CHRIST!
For of Thy Church, LORD, Thou didst own Thy Saint a true foundation- stone.
Thrice was he put to shame, Thrice did the dauntless fall; But, oh, that look that came From out the judgment- hall!
It pierced and broke the spell- bound heart, And foiled the tempter's sifting art.
Thrice fallen, thrice restored! The bitter lesson learnt,
That heart for Thee, O LORD, With triple ardour burnt. The cross he took he laid not down Until he grasped the Martyr's crown.
BIK
Oh, bright triumphant faith! Oh, courage void of fears!
Oh, love most strong in death! Oh, penitential tears!
By these, LORD, keep us lest we fall,
And make us go where Thou shalt call. Amen.
St. James the Apostle.
418" He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword."
FOR all Thy Saints, a noble throng,
Who fell by fire and sword, Who soon were called, or waited long, We praise Thy Name, O LORD;
( 295)

419
ST. JAMES THE APOSTLE.
For him who left his father's side, Nor lingered by the shore, When, softer than the weltering tide, Thy summons glided o'er;
Who stood beside the maiden dead,
Who climbed the mount with Thee, And saw the glory round Thy Head, One of Thy chosen three;
Who knelt beneath the olive shade, Who drank Thy cup of pain,
And passed from Herod's flashing blade To see Thy Face again.
LORD, give us grace, and give us love, Like him to leave behind
Earth's cares and joys, and look above With true and earnest mind.
So shall we learn to drink Thy cup, So meek and firm be found, When Thou shalt come to take us up Where Thine elect are crowned. Amen.
St. Bartholomew the Apostle.
" The Lord knoweth them that are His."
KI
ING of Saints, to Whom the number Of Thy starry host is known,
Many a name, by man forgotten,
Lives for ever round Thy Throne; Lights, which earth- born mists have darkened, There are shining full and clear,
Princes in the court of heaven, Nameless, unremembered here.
In the roll of Thine Apostles
One there stands, Bartholomew, He for whom to- day we offer,
Year by year, our praises due; How he toiled for Thee and suffered None on earth can now record; All his saintly life is hidden
In the knowledge of his LORD. ( 296)

ST. BARTHOLOMEW THE APOSTLE.
Was it he, beneath the fig- tree
Seen of Thee, and guileless found; He who saw the good he longed for
Rise from Nazareth's barren ground; He who met his risen Master MACT
On the shore of Galilee; He to whom the Word was spoken, " Greater things thou yet shalt see?"
None can tell us; all is written
In the LAMB's great book of life, All the faith, and prayer, and patience, All the toiling, and the strife; There are told Thy hidden treasures; Number us, O LORD, with them, When Thou makest up the jewels Of Thy living diadem. Amen.
St. Matthew the Apostle.
420" Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven."
DEAR LORD, on this Thy servant's day,
Who left for Thee
and mart, Who heard Thee whisper," Come away," And followed with a single heart,
Give us, amid earth's weary moil,
And wealth for which men cark and care, ' Mid fortune's pride, and need's wild toil, And broken hearts in purple rare,
Give us Thy grace to rise above
The glare of this world's smelting fires; Let God's great love put out the love Of gold, and gain, and low desires.
Still, like a breath from scented lime Borne into rooms where sick men faint, His voice comes floating through all time, Thine own Evangelist and Saint.
Still sweetly rings the Gospel strain Of golden store that knows not rust: The love of CHRIST is more than gain, And heavenly crowns than yellow dust. Amen.

ST. MICHAEL AND ALL ANGELS.
St. Michael and all Angels.
421" O praise the Lord, all ye His hosts; ye servants of His that do His pleasure."
PRAISE to GOD Who reigns above, Binding earth and heaven in love; All the armies of the sky Worship His dread sovereignty.
Seraphim His praises sing, Cherubim on fourfold wing, Thrones, Dominions, Princes, Powers, Marshalled Might that never cowers.
Speeds the Archangel from His Face, Bearing messages of grace; Angel hosts His words fulfil, Ruling nature by His Will.
Yet on man they joy to wait, All that bright celestial state, For in Man their LORD they see, CHRIST, the Incarnate DEITY.
On the Throne their LORD Who diel Sits in Manhood glorified; Where His people faint below Angels count it joy to go.
Oh, the depths of joy Divine Thrilling through those Orders nine, When the lost are found again, When the banished come to reign!
Now in faith, in hope, in love, We will join the choirs above, Praising, with the heavenly host,
FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST. Amen.
422" There was war in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels."
CHRIST, in highest heaven enthronèd, Equal of the FATHER'S Might,
By pure spirits, trembling, owned, GOD of GOD, and LIGHT of LIGHT, Thee' mid Angel hosts we sing, heir Maker and their King. ( 298)
A Thee

ST. MICHAEL AND ALL ANGELS.
All who circling round adore Thee, All who bow before Thy Throne, Burn with flaming zeal before Thee, Thy behests to carry down; To and fro,' twixt earth and heaven, Speed they each on errands given.
First of all those legions glorious,
Michael waves his sword of flame, Who of old in war victorious
Did the Dragon's fierceness tame; Who with might invincible Thrust the rebel down to hell.
Strong to aid the sick and dying,
Called from heaven they swiftly fly, Grace Divine and strength supplying In their mortal agony: Souls released from bondage here Safe to Paradise they bear.
To the FATHER praise be given By the unfallen Angel- host, Who in His great war have striven With the legions of the lost; Equal praise in highest heaven
To the SON and HOLY GHOST. Amen.
423" When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy."
STARS of the morning, so gloriously bright,
These that, where night never followeth day, Raise the" Trisagion"* ever and aye:
These are Thy ministers, these dost Thou own, LORD GOD of Sabaoth, nearest Thy Throne; These are Thy messengers, these dost Thou send, Help of the helpless ones! man to defend.
These keep the guard amidst Salem's dear bowers, Thrones, Principalities, Virtues, and Powers, Where, with the Living Ones, mystical Four, Cherubim, Seraphim bow and adore.
In Greek, from which this Hymn is translated," Trisagion" is the same
as the Latin" Tersanctus" and the English" Thrice- Holy."
( 299)

ST. MICHAEL AND ALL ANGELS.
Then, when the earth was first poised in mid space, Then, when the planets first sped on their race, Then, when were ended the six days' employ, Then all the Sons of GoD shouted for joy.
Still let them succour us; still let them fight, LORD of Angelic hosts, battling for right; Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour, We with the Angels may bow and adore. Amen.
424" Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?"
THEY come, GOD's messengers of love,
They come from realms of peace above, From homes of never- fading light, From blissful mansions ever bright.
They come to watch around us here, To soothe our sorrow, calm our fear: Ye heavenly guides, speed not away, GOD willeth you with us to stay.
But chiefly at its journey's end " Tis yours the spirit to befriend, And whisper to the faithful heart, " O Christian soul, in peace depart."
Blest JESU, Thou Whose groans and tears Have sanctified frail nature's fears, To earth in bitter sorrow weighed Thou didst not scorn Thine Angel's aid;
An Angel guard to us supply, When on the bed of death we lie; And by Thine own Almighty power O shield us in the last dread hour.
To God the FATHER, GOD the SON, And GoD the SPIRIT, THREE in ONE,
From all above and all below
Let joyful praise unceasing flow. Amen.
These Hymns on the ministry of Angels may be sung, if
desired, at other times.

ST. LUKE THE EVANGELIST.
St. Luke the Evangelist. " The brother, whose praise is in the gospel." WHAT thanks and praise to Thee we owe,
For Thy dear Saint through whom we know So many a gracious Word of Thine;
Whom Thou didst choose to tell the tale Of all Thy Manhood's toils and tears, And for a moment lift the veil
That hides Thy Boyhood's spotless years.
How many a soul with guilt oppressed Has learned to hear the joyful sound In that sweet tale of sin confessed, The FATHER'S love, the lost and found!
How many a child of sin and shame Has refuge found from guilty fears Through her, who to the Saviour came With costly ointments and with tears!
What countless worshippers have sung, In lowly fane or lofty choir,
The song that loosed the silent tongue Of him who was the Baptist's sire!
And still the Church through all her days Uplifts the strains that never cease, The Blessèd Virgin's hymn of praise, The aged Simeon's words of peace.
O happy Saint! whose sacred page, So rich in words of truth and love, Pours on the Church from age to age This healing unction from above;
The witness of the Saviour's life, The great Apostle's chosen friend Through weary years of toil and strife, And still found faithful to the end.
So grant us, LORD, like him to live, Beloved by man, approved by Thee, Till Thou at last the summons give, And we, with him, Thy Face shall see.
( 301)
Amen..

ST. SIMON AND ST. JUDE, APOSTLES.
St. Simon and St. Jude, Apostles.
426" Just and true are Thy ways, Thou King of Saints."
THOU Who sentest Thine Apostles
Two and two before
Partners in the night of toiling,
Heirs together of Thy grace, Throned at length, their labours ended, Each in his appointed place;
Praise to Thee for those Thy champions Whom our hymns to- day proclaim; One, whose zeal by Thee enlightened Burned anew with nobler flame; One, the kinsman of Thy Childhood, Brought at last to know Thy Name. Praise to Thee! Thy fire within them Spake in love, and wrought in power; Seen in mighty signs and wonders In Thy Church's morning hour; Heard in tones of sternest warning When the storms began to lower. Once again those storms are breaking; Hearts are failing, love grows cold; Faith is darkened, sin abounding;
Grievous wolves assail Thy fold: Save us, LORD, our One Salvation; Save the Faith revealed of old. Call the erring by Thy pity;
Warn the tempted by Thy fear; Keep us true to Thine allegiance, Counting life itself less dear, Standing firmer, holding faster, As we see the end draw near. Till, with holy Jude and Simon And the thousand faithful more, We, the good confession witnessed And the lifelong conflict o'er, On the sea of fire and crystal Stand, and wonder, and adore. GOD the FATHER, great and wondrous In Thy works, to Thee be praise; KING of Saints, to Thee be glory,
Just and true in all Thy ways; Praise to Thee, from Both proceeding,
HOLY GHOST, through endless days. Amen

All Saints' Day.
427" What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?"
428
THO are these like stars appearing,
These, before God's Throne who stand?
WHO
Each a golden crown is wearing, Who are all this glorious band?
Alleluia, hark! they sing,
Praising loud their heavenly King.
Who are these in dazzling brightness,
Clothed in GOD's own righteousness, These, whose robes of purest whiteness Shall their lustre still possess,
Still untouched by time's rude hand? Whence came all this glorious band?
These are they who have contended
For their Saviour's honour long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph by the LAMB have gained.
These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the GoD they glorified;
Now, their painful conflict o'er, GOD has bid them weep no more.
These, the ALMIGHTY contemplating, Did as priests before Him stand, Soul and body always waiting
Day and night at His command: Now in GOD's most holy place Blest they stand before His Face. Amen.
" That they may rest from their labours."
THE Saints of GOD! their conflict past, And life's long battle won at last, No more they need the shield or sword, They cast them down before their LORD: O happy Saints! for ever blest, At JESUS' feet how safe your rest!
( 303)

ALL SAINTS' DAY.
The Saints of GOD! their wanderings done, No more their weary course they run, No more they faint, no more they fall, No foes oppress, no fears appal:
O happy Saints! for ever blest,
In that dear home how sweet your rest!
The Saints of GOD! life's voyage o'er, Safe landed on that blissful shore, No stormy tempests now they dread, No roaring billows lift their head: O happy Saints! for ever blest, In that calm haven of your rest!
The Saints of GOD their vigil keep While yet their mortal bodies sleep, ' Till from the dust they too shall rise And soar triumphant to the skies:
O happy Saints! rejoice and sing; He quickly comes, your LORD and King.
O GOD of Saints, to Thee we cry;
O SAVIOUR, plead for us on high;
O HOLY GHOST, our Guide and Friend, Grant us Thy grace till life shall end; That with all Saints our rest may be In that bright Paradise with Thee. Amen.
429" And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the
moon, to shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the Light thereof."
O
HEAVENLY Jerusalem, Of everlasting halls, Thrice blessèd are the people Thou storest in thy walls.
Thou art the golden mansion, Where Saints for ever sing, The seat of GOD's own chosen, The palace of the King. There GoD for ever sitteth, Himself of all the Crown; The LAMB, the Light that shineth, And never goeth down.
Nought to this seat approacheth Their sweet peace to molest; They sing their GoD for ever, Nor day nor night they rest. ( 304)

ALL SAINTS' DAY.
Sure hope doth thither lead us; Our longings thither tend; May short- lived toil ne'er daunt us For joys that cannot end.

THE eternal gifts of CHRIST the King,
The Apostles' glory, let us sing; And all, with hearts of gladness, raise Due hymns of thankful love and praise.
For they the Churches' princes are, Triumphant leaders in the war, In heavenly courts a warrior band, True lights to lighten every land.
Theirs is the steadfast faith of saints, And hope that never yields nor faints, And love of CHRIST in perfect glow That lays the prince of this world low.
In them the FATHER'S glory shone, In them the Will of GoD the SON, In them exults the HOLY GHOST, Through them rejoice the heavenly host.
To Thee, Redeemer, now we cry, That Thou wouldst join to them on high Thy servants, who this grace implore, For ever and for evermore. Amen.

FEASTS OF APOSTLES.
431" Their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world."
D¹
ISPOSER Supreme, And Judge of the earth, Who choosest for Thine The weak and the poor; To frail earthen vessels And things of no worth Entrusting Thy riches Which aye shall endure;
Those vessels soon fail, Though full of Thy light, And at Thy decree
Are broken and gone; Thence brightly appeareth Thy truth in its might, As through the clouds riven The lightnings have shone.
Like clouds are they borne To do Thy great Will, And swift as the winds About the world go;
The WORD with His wisdom Their spirits doth fill, They thunder, they lighten, The waters o'erflow.
Their sound goeth forth, " CHRIST JESUS the LORD
Then Satan doth fear,
His citadels fall:
As when the dread trumpets Went forth at Thy Word, And one long blast shattered The Canaanite's wall.
O loud be their trump, And stirring their sound, To rouse us, 0 LORD,
From slumber of sin; The lights Thou hast kindled In darkness around,
O may they illumine Our spirits within. ( 306)

FEASTS OF APOSTLES.

His own marvellous light, And called us from darkness His glory to see. Amen.
432" Ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
CAPTAINS of the saintly band,
Lights who lighten every land, Princes who with JESUS dwell, Judges of His Israel,
On the nations sunk in night Ye have shed the Gospel light; Sin and error flee away,
Truth reveals the promised day.
Not by warrior's spear and sword, Not by art of human word, Preaching but the Cross of shame, Rebel hearts for CHRIST ye tame.
Earth, that long in sin and pain Groaned in Satan's deadly chain, Now to serve its GoD is free In the law of liberty.
Distant lands with one acclaim Tell the honour of your name, Who, wherever man has trod, Teach the mysteries of GOD.
Glory to the THREE in ONE
While eternal ages run,
Who from deepest shades of night Called us to His glorious light. Amen.
Feasts of Evangelists.
" Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace."

Who bear to every place
The unveiled mysteries of GOD,
The Gospel of His grace.
( 307)

FEASTS OF EVANGELISTS.
The things through mists and shadows dim By holy prophets seen,
In the full light of day they saw With not a cloud between.
What CHRIST, True Man, divinely wrought, What GOD in Manhood bore,
They wrote, as GOD inspired, in words That live for evermore.
Although in space and time apart, One SPIRIT ruled them all; And in their sacred pages still We hear that SPIRIT's call.
To God, the Blessèd THREE in ONE, Be glory, praise, and might, Who called us from the shades of death To His own glorious light. Amen.
434" And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads."
COME, pure hearts, in sweetest measures
Sing of those who spread the treasures In the holy Gospels shrined; Blessèd tidings of salvation, Peace on earth, their proclamation, Love from GOD to lost mankind.
See the Rivers four that gladden With their streams the better Eden Planted by our LORD most dear; CHRIST the Fountain, these the waters; Drink, O Sion's sons and daughters, Drink and find salvation here.
O that we Thy truth confessing, And Thy holy Word possessing, JESU, may Thy love adore; Unto Thee our voices raising, Thee with all Thy ransomed praising Ever and for evermore. Amen.

LO! round the Throne, a glorious band,
The Saints in countless myriads stand, Of every tongue redeemed to GOD, Arrayed in garments washed in Blood.
Bool
Through tribulation great they came; They bore the cross, despised the shame; From all their labours now they rest, In God's eternal glory blest.
They see their Saviour face to face, And sing the triumphs of His grace; Him day and night they ceaseless praise, To Him the loud thanksgiving raise:
" Worthy the LAMB, for sinners slain, Through endless years to live and reign; Thou hast redeemed us by Thy Blood, And made us kings and priests to GOD."
O may we tread the sacred road That Saints and holy Martyrs trod;
Wage to the end the glorious strife,
And win, like them, a crown of life. Amen.
436" After this I beheld, and lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues, stood before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands."
HA ARK! the sound of holy voices,
Chanting at the crystal sea
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, LORD, to Thee: Multitude, which none can number, Like the stars in glory stands, bob Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of victory in their hands.

20 FEASTS OF MARTYRS
Patriarch, and holy Prophet,
Who prepared the way of CHRIST, King, Apostle, Saint, Confessor, Martyr, and Evangelist, Saintly Maiden, godly Matron,
Widows who have watched to prayer, Joined in holy concert, singing
To the LORD of all, are there. They have come from tribulation,
And have washed their robes in Blood, Washed them in the Blood of JESUS;
Tried they were, and firm they stood; Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented, Sawn asunder, slain with sword, They have, conquered death and Satan By the might of CHRIST the LORD.
Marching with Thy Cross their banner, They have triumphed following Thee, the Captain of salvation,
Thee their Saviour and their King; Gladly, LORD, with Thee they' suffered; Gladly, LORD, with Thee they died, And by death to life immortal

Ten thousand times ten thousand
That day of wrath, that dreadful day
That Eastertide with joy
The Advent of our King
" The ancient law departs
The Apostles' hearts were full of pain The Church's one foundation
The Day of Resurrection
The day is past and over!
The earth, O Lord, is one wide field
The eternal gifts of Christ the King
The fish in wave, the bird on wing, The God, Whom earth, and sea, and sky.
The great forerunner of the morn
The Head that once was crowned with thorns
* The Heavenly Child in stature grows
The Heavenly Word proceeding forth
* The King of love my Shepherd is
The Lamb's high banquet called to share. The life which God's Incarnate Word
The people that in darkness sat.
The radíant morn hath passed away
The roseate_hues of early dawn
The Royal Banners forward go
The Saints of God! their conflict past.
" The Shepherd now was smitten
The strain upraise of joy and praise The Son of God goes forth to war
** The sower went forth sowing
The strife is o'er, the battle done The sun is sinking fast
The voice that breathed o'er Eden
The world is very evil.
* The year is gone, beyond recall
Thee we adore, 0 hidden Saviour, Thee * There is a blessèd home.
There is a book, who runs may read. There is a green hill far away. There is one Way, and only one. There's a Friend for little children They come, God's messengers of love Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old
Thine for ever! God of love
.
This is the day of light
Thou art coming, O my Saviour Thou art gone up on high
Thou art the Christ, O Lord
Thou art the Way; by Thee alone Thou Judge of quick and dead Thou spakest, Lord, and into one Thou to Whom the sick and dying Thou Who sentest Thine Apostles Thou, Whose Almighty Word Three in One, and One in Three. Throned upon the awful Tree Through all the changing scenes of life Through midnight gloom from Macedon Through the day Thy love has spared us Through the night of doubt and sorrow Thy kingdom come, O God. Thy life was given for me
Thy way, not mine, O Lord.
Tis done! that new and heavenly birth
To Christ, the Prince of peace.
To the Name of our Salvation. To Thee, O Comforter Divine.

To Thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise To Thee our God we fly To- day, O Lord, a holier work.
We are but little children( weak We give Thee but Thine own. We know Thee Who Thou art.
We love the place, O God
We plough the fields, and scatter
INDEX.
We pray Thee, heavenly Father
We saw Thee not when Thou didst come We sing the glorious conquest
We sing the praise of Him Who died Weary of earth, and laden with my sin * What our Father does is well.
What star is this, with beams so bright * What thanks and praise to Thee we owe. What time the evening shadows fall What various hindrances we meet When at Thy footstool, Lord, I bend
When God of old came down from heaven When I survey the wondrous Cross. When morning gilds the skies
When our heads are bowed with woe. When shades of night around us close When wounded sore, the stricken heart
Where high the heavenly temple stands
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Who are these like stars appearing
With hearts renewed and cleansed from guilt of sin.
Within the Church's sacred fold
Word Supreme, before creation
* Ye choirs of new Jerusalem
Ye servants of our glorious King.
Ye servants of the Lord. Yesterday, with exultation
Of the Four Last Things Of the Incarnate Word
Of Penitence( No. 1)
Of Penitence( No. 2)
Of the Passion
For the Rogation Days
Of Jesus Glorified
Of the Holy Ghost
Of the Church
