MORNING PRAYER.

Most merciful Lord God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, I bow my soul at thy sacred feet, to acknowledge thy name, thine infinite goodness, and fatherly care. Thou art ever mindful of thy children, and thou permittest me, thine unworthy servant, to partake of thy bounty. Thou hast mercifully protected me through the night; be pleased, O Lord, to be with me through the day; and grant me thy assistance, that I may be able to resist and overcome every evil, and every temptation to evil, to which I am exposed. I implore thy divine wisdom to enlighten my thoughts; and I humbly pray that thy divine love may quicken my affections, that I may live to thy glory. Be pleased, O Lord, to dwell in my soul according to thy promise. And O may I ever be sensible of thy presence and thy power. I thank thee, O Lord, for the gift of thy most holy Word, and for the heavenly knowledge I have received from it. Thy blessed Word connects my mind with thee, and with thy heavenly kingdom. It teaches me my duty to thee and to my fellow-creatures; and instructs me to depend

upon thee for power to do thy will on earth, as it is done in heaven. O may my soul be delighted in thy service. May I ever exercise a spirit of pure love and charity towards all mankind. As I seek thy mercy for myself, I devoutly solicit the same mercy for my neighbours, my relations, and acquaintance, with all those who belong to the society and church to which I am joined. May we be united in love to thy holy name, to thy Word, to thy kingdom, and to each other. Thou knowest what I stand in need of. Thy holy will be done. May I be satisfied and contented with every dispensation of thy kind Providence. May I be grateful to all my friends. And may I be ever obedient to thy commandments, to the glory of thy great and adorable name. Amen.

EVENING PRAYER.

ALMIGHTY Lord and Saviour, Jehovah Jesus, with a grateful remembrance of thy mercy, I come into thy sacred presence. O may my heart with joy and gladness own thy power. I acknowledge my sins before thee, and my utter unworthiness to approach thy holy throne. But thou, O Lord, infinite in goodness, dost invite sinners to come unto thee, that they may partake of thy salvation. O blessed Lord, have mercy on me, and whatever thou hast seen amiss in my conduct this day, be pleased to forgive. O cleanse me from my secret faults, and make my mind thy dwelling-place; make my soul a temple of the living God, for thy name and mercy's sake. Be pleased to take me under thy fatherly care through the hours of darkness. Let thy holy angels be about my bed in the night, as they have been about my path in the day. I am sensible of thy

goodness and love towards me. 0 may I feel a pure love to thee. True thankfulness, O Lord, becomes my soul. O fill my heart with praise. If it please thee to raise me to the light of another day, grant that I may rise from my bed under a deep sense of thine infinite mercy. May my fellow-creatures share with me all thy gracious bounty and loving kindness. Prepare me, O Lord, for that glorious day when I shall appear before thee in heaven. Make me a useful member of society. O may I never stray from thy presence. Grant me power to resist all evil, because evil is sin against thee. Be pleased to bless with me all those who know me, or are known by me. May we all meet together in thy heavenly kingdom. I lay my body down to rest in thy fear. O blessed Saviour! be thou my protector; guard me from all my spiritual enemies, and unite within my soul a blessed association of all that is good and true, that I may ever honour thee, and acknowledge that thou art, in glorified human form, my only God and Saviour. Amen.

MORNING PRAYER.

O LORD JESUS CHRIST, thou art my God, and my heavenly Father. Thou hast been very good to me, thy helpless child, in preserving me from harm in the night, and causing me to awake up in health and happiness. Make me thy good and obedient child this day. Let not wicked spirits fill me with bad tempers, or lead me into disobedience.
