enable us and others to glorify thee in all that whereby thou hast made thyself known, and dispose of all things to thine own glory. Let thy kingdom come; let Satan's kingdom be destroyed, and let the kingdom of thy grace be advanced; let us and others be brought into it, and kept in it, and let the kingdom of thy glory be hastened. Let thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven; make us by thy grace able and willing to know, obey, and submit to thy will in all things as the angels do in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; of thy free gift let us receive a competent portion of the good things of this life, and let us enjoy thy blessing with them. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us. We pray that for Christ's sake thou wouldst freely pardon all our sins, and that by thy grace thou wouldst enable us from the heart to forgive others. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Either keep us, O Lord, from being tempted to sin, or support and deliver us when we are tempted. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever. Lord, we take our encouragement in prayer from thyself only, and desire in our prayers to praise thee, ascribing kingdom, power, and glory to thee: And in testimony of our desires and assurance to be heard through Jesus Christ, we say, Amen. MORNING HYMN. Awake, my soul, and with the sun Let all thy converse be sincere, Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart, THE EVENING HYMN. Glory to thee, my God, this night. Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son, The ill that I this day have done; That, with the world, myself, and thee, I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. may dread Teach me to live, that I O let my soul on thee repose! And may sweet sleep mine eyelids close; Sleep that shall me more vig'rous make, To serve my God when I awake. If in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heavenly thoughts supply; THE LITTLE CHILD'S PRAYER. Lord, look upon a little child, Make me thy child-a child of God, A star of early dawn, and bright, Oh! Jesus, take me to thy breast, HEART BREATHINGS. Blessed Lord! who hast commanded and invited us to pray unto thee, O let thy Spirit help my infirmities; and do thou so dispose my mind, and prepare my heart, that my prayers and praises may be acceptable in thy sight, through the mediation, and for the sake of Jesus Christ. Amen. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all mine iniquities; who healeth all my diseases; who redeemeth my life from destruction; who crowneth me with lovingkindness and tender mercies; who satisfieth my mouth with good things: so that my youth is renewed like the eagle's. Amen. THY WILL BE DONE. My God, my Father, while I stray, If thou shouldst call me to resign Should pining sickness waste away If but my fainting heart be blest |
