Turn the hearts of our enemies; defeat every evil design against us, and continue to show thy tender mercy unto these United States, as thou hast done in the days past;

Cause us to bow down before thee, to confess our sins, and to acknowledge with contrite hearts, that it is of thy mercies that we are not consumed;

(Lam. iii. 22.)

Stop in thy tender mercy the effusion of human blood, and make discord and wars to cease;

To this end, put into the hearts of the rulers of the nations thoughts of peace, that we may see it soon established, to the glory of thy

name:

Hear us, gracious Lord and God.]

T. Te Deum p. 2.

Promote, we pray, thy servants' good,
Redeem'd with thy most precious blood:
Among thy saints make us ascend,
To glory that shall never end:
O Lord, have mercy on us all,
Have mercy on us, when we call:
Lord, we have put our trust in thee,
Confounded let us never be: Amen.

Supply, O Lord, we pray thee, all the wants of thy Church;

Let all things be conducted among us in such a manner, that we pro-,
vide things honest, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the
sight of men;
(2 Cor. viii. 21.)

Bless the sweat of the brow, and faithfulness in business;
Let none entangle himself with the affairs of this life; (2 Tim. ii. 4.)
But may all our labour of body and mind be hallowed unto thee:

Hear us, gracious Lord and God.

O thou Preserver of men,

Send help to all that are in distress or danger;

(Job vii. 20.)

Strengthen and uphold those who suffer bonds and persecution for the

sake of the gospel;

(Hebr. xiii. 3.)

Defend, and provide for fatherless children, and widows, and all who

are desolate and oppressed;

Be the support of the aged;

(Ps. lxviii. 5.)

(Is. xlvi. 4.)

(Ps. xli. 3.)

Make the bed of the sick, and, in the midst of suffering, let them feel
that thou lovest them;
And when thou takest away men's breath, that they die, then remem-
ber, that thou hast died, not for our sins only, but also for the sins
of the whole world;
(1 John ii. 2; Rom. v. 18.)

Hear us, gracious Lord and God.
O Lord, thou who art over all, God blessed for ever,
Be the Saviour of all men;

(Rom. ix. 5.) (1 Tim. iv. 10.)

*Tune Book, page 110.

Yea, have mercy on thy whole creation;

(Rom. viii. 19, 22.)

For thou camest, by thyself to reconcile all things unto God, whether things in earth, or things in heaven:

(Col. i. 20; Eph. ii. 16.)

Hear us, gracious Lord and God.

(Eph. v. 23.)

Thou Saviour of thy body, the church,
Bless, sanctify, and preserve every member, through the truth;

(John xvii. 17.)

Grant that each, in every age and station, may enjoy the powerful and sanctifying merits of thy holy humanity; and make us chaste before thee in soul and body;

Let our children be brought up in thy nurture and admonition;

(Eph. vi. 4.)

Pour out thy Holy Spirit on all thy servants and handmaids;

(Acts ii. 18.)

Purify our souls, in obeying the truth, through the Spirit, unto unfeigned love of the brethren:

Hear us, gracious Lord and God.

(1 Pet. i. 22.)

Keep us in everlasting fellowship with the church triumphant, and let us rest together in thy presence from our labours:

Hear us, gracious Lord and God.

O Christ, almighty God,

Have mercy upon us.

O thou Lamb of God, which takest away the sin of the world,

Own us to be thine.

(John i. 29.)

O thou Lamb of God, which takest away the sin of the world,

Be joyful over us.

O thou Lamb of God, which takest away the sin of the world,
Leave thy peace with us.

O Christ, hear us.

Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.

Lord, have mercy upon us.

UNTO the Lamb that was slain,

And hath redeemed us out of all nations of the earth; Unto the Lord who purchased our souls for himself: Unto that Friend who loved us,—and washed us from own blood;

Who died for us once,

That we might die unto sin;

Who rose for us,

That we also might rise;

Who ascended for us into heaven,

EASTER MORNING LITANY.

I BELIEVE in the One only God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, who created all things by Jesus Christ, and was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself.

I believe in God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world;

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son;

Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ;

Who hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the Beloved.

This I verily believe.

We thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight. Father, glorify thy name.

Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be 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: for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever: Amen.

I believe in the name of the only begotten Son of God, by whom are all things, and we through him;

I believe, that he was made flesh, and dwelt among us; and took on him the form of a servant;

By the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, was conceived of the Virgin Mary; as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; was born of a woman;

And being found in fashion as a man, was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin:

For he is the Lord, the Messenger of the covenant, whom we delight in. The Lord and his Spirit hath sent him to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord:

He spoke that which he did know, and testified that which he had

Been as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God.

Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;

The third day rose again from the dead, and with him many bodies of the saints which slept;

Ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the throne of the Father; whence he will come, in like manner as he was seen going into heaven.

T. 58. p. 2. Amen, come, Lord Jesus; come we implore thee:
With longing hearts we now are waiting for thee;
Come soon, O come.

The Lord will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, to judge both the quick and the dead.

This is my Lord, who redeemed me, a lost and undone human creature, purchased and gained me from sin, from death, and from the power of the devil;

Not with gold or silver, but with his holy precious blood, and with his innocent suffering and dying;

To the end that I should be his own, and in his kingdom live under him and serve him, in eternal righteousness, innocence, and happiness; So as he, being risen from the dead, liveth and reigneth, world without end.

This I most certainly believe.

I believe in the Holy Ghost, who proceedeth from the Father, and whom our Lord Jesus Christ sent, after he went away, that he should abide with us for ever;

That he should comfort us, as a mother comforteth her children; That he should help our infirmities, and make intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered;

That he should bear witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God, and teach us to cry, Abba, Father;

That he should shed abroad in our hearts the love of God, and make our bodies his holy temple;

And that he should work all in all, dividing to every man severally as he will.

To him be glory in the church, which is in Christ Jesus, the holy, universal Christian church, in the communion of saints, at all times, and from eternity to eternity. Amen.

I believe, that by my own reason and strength I cannot believe in Jesus Christ my Lord, or come to him;
