I THE CREED. STEADFASTLY believe in God, Who made this lower world, and all And I believe in Jesus Christ, And our most gracious Lord. By Pontius Pilate doom'd to bear THE LORD'S PRAYER. OUR Father, who in heaven art, Thy Name be hallow'd in each heart. Thy kingdom come: may we fulfil, Who dwell on earth, thy heav'nly will, With equal cheerfulness and love, As saints and angels do above. Give us this day our daily bread: Second Metre. UR Father, who in heaven art, Thy kingdom come; thy will be done As cheerfully as 'tis by those Who dwell with thee on high; Thy pardon, Lord, we crave; For kingdom, pow'r, and glory, all THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. GOD spake these words, O Israel hear, What I shall now command; Thy Lord and only God am I, From Egypt's land, and from the house And therefore Israel, thou shalt have Thou shalt no graven image make, Thou shalt not how thyself to them, Much less shalt thou, in heart, adore, For I thy God, a jealous God, The father's sin chastise To third and fourth descent, of all But mercy do to thousands shew, The sacred Name of God thy Lord For God will them not guiltless hold Six days to labour thou shalt take, But God, thy Lord, the seventh day His sabbath did ordain, In which thou shalt from ev'ry kind Honour thy parents, that thou may'st In that blest land which God, thy Lord, And theft thou shalt forbear: Against thy neighbour swear. Have mercy therefore on us, Lord, FOR CHRISTMAS DAY. HIGH let us swell our tuneful notes, And join th' angelick throng, Let heav'n and earth in concert join, Glory to God in highest strains, His glory by our lips proclaim'd, When shall we reach those blissful realms HA Evening Service. ARK, the herald angels sing, Glory to the new-born King, Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconcil'd! Joyful all ye nations rise, Join the triumph of the skies, With th' angelick host proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem. Hark, the herald angels sing, Glory to the new-born King! Christ, by highest heav'n ador'd, Christ the everlasting Lord, Late in time behold him come, Offspring of a virgin's womb: Veil'd in flesh the Godhead he, Hail th' incarnate Deity: Pleas'd as man with man appear, Jesus our Immanuel here. Hark, the herald angels, &c. Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace! SONG OF THE ANGELS, WHILE shepherds watch'd their flocks by night, All seated on the ground, The angel of the Lord came down, To you, in David's town, this day The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord;- The heavenly Babe you there shall find All meanly wrapt in swathing-bands, Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith All glory be to God on high, And to the earth be peace; FOR EASTER DAY. SINCE Christ, our passover, is slain A sacrifice for all; Let all with thankful hearts agree Not with the leaven, as of old, And truth's unleaven'd bread. For that he died, 'twas for our sins So count yourselves as dead to sin, And made henceforth alive to God, HYMN I. MY God, and is thy table spread, And doth thy cup with love o'erflow? Thither be all thy children led, And let them all thy sweetness know. Hail, sacred feast, which Jesus makes, Rich banquet of his flesh and blood! Thrice happy he who here partakes That sacred stream, that heav'nly food. Why are its dainties all in vain Before unwilling hearts display'd? Was not for you the victim slain? Are you forbid the children's bread? O! let thy table honour'd be, And furnish'd well with joyful guests; And may each soul salvation see, That here its sacred pledges tastes! Let crowds approach, with hearts prepar'd, With hearts inflam'd let all attend; A Saviour's blood alone can give. Out of the Revelation of St. John. Blessing and honour, glory, pow'r, HYMN III.

The circumstances of my crimes, Their number and their kind, Thou know'st them all; and more, much Than I can call to mind: Therefore, with tears, I come to beg Of my offended God, For pardon, like a child that dreads His angry parent's rod. So come I to thy mercy-gate, Where mercy doth abound, Imploring pardon for my sin, To heal my deadly wound. O Lord, I need not to repeat [more The comfort I would have: FOR THE MORNING. AWAKE, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run; Redeem thy nispent moments past, Let all thy converse be sincere, FOR THE EVENING.
