Thy sight, O LORD, my strength and my redeemer. Psalm xix. 14.
O send out Thy light
and Thy truth, that they may lead me, and bring me unto Thy holy hill,
and to Thy dwelling. Psalm xliii.3.

and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell
in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and
humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the
heart of the contrite ones. Isaiah Ivii. 15.
The hour cometh,
and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in

O Lord, open thou
our lips.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without
end. Amen.

strength of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and show ourselves
glad in him with psalms.
For the LORD is a great God; and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are all the corners of the earth; and the strength of
the hills is his also.
The sea is his, and he made it; and his hands prepared the dry land.
O come, let us worship and fall down, and kneel before the LORD our
Maker.
For he is the Lord our God; and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; let the whole earth
stand in awe of him.
For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth; and with righteousness
to judge the world, and the peoples with his truth.
Glory be.

Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers: praised and exalted above
all for ever.
Blessed art thou for the Name of Thy Majesty: praised and exalted
above all for ever.
Blessed art thou in the temple of Thy holiness: praised and exalted
above all for ever.
Blessed art thou that be holdest the depths, and dwellest between
the Cherubim: praised and exalted above all for ever.
Blessed art thou on the glorious throne of Thy kingdom: praised and
exalted above all for ever.
Blessed art thou in the firmament of heaven: praised and exalted above
all for ever.
Glory be.
Second Lesson.
Jubilate Deo. Psalm
c.
O be joyful in the LORD, all ye lands: serve the LORD with gladness,
and come before his presence with a song.
Be ye sure that the LORD he is God; it is he that hath made us, and
not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts
with praise; be thankful unto him, and speak good of his Name.
For the LORD is gracious, his mercy is everlasting; and his truth
endureth from generation to generation.
Glory be.
The Apostles'
Creed.
I 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
on 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 Catholic Church; The Communion
of Saints: The Forgiveness of sins: The Resurrection of the body:
And the Life everlasting. Amen.
The Lord's Prayer.
Our Father, who art
in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And
forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against
us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For
thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever.
Amen.
O Lord, show Thy
mercy upon us.
And grant us Thy salvation.
O God, make clean our hearts within us.
And take not Thy Holy Spirit from us.

in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the

empty away.
He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel; as he promised
to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed, for ever.
