OF THE

CHURCH OF THE UNITED BRETHREN.

FOR THE MORNING SERVICE
ON THE LORD'S DAY.

The Minister and Congregation shall repeat responsively: O COME, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.

For he is our God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves: we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. (Ps. xcv. 6, 7; c. 3—5.)

The Minister shall then repeat one of the following portions from the Holy Scripture:

The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. (Ps. li. 17.) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John i. 8, 9.) If we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John i. 7.)

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; and having an High Priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith. (Heb. x. 19-22.)

Qr,

Lord, Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that wilt by no means clear the guilty; (Exod. xxxiv. 6, 7.) Incline thine ear and hear: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies. (Dan. ix. 18.)

Or,

I will arise and go to my Father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. (Luke xv. 18, 19.) Enter not into judgment with thy servant, O Lord: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. (Ps. cxliii. 2.) I acknowledge my transgression, and my sin is ever before me. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. (Ps. li. 3, 9.)

THE CHURCH LITANY.

LORD, have mercy upon us.

Christ, have mercy upon us.

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

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.

O God, the SON, the Saviour of the world,
Be gracious unto us.

O God, the HOLY GHOST,

Abide with us for ever.

T. 22. Most holy, blessed TRINITY,

We praise thee to eternity. ::::

T. 132. p. 2. Thou LAMB once slain, our God and Lord,
To needy prayers thine ear afford,

And on us all have mercy.

From coldness to thy merits and death,

From error and misunderstanding,

From the loss of our glory in thee,

From the unhappy desire of becoming great,

From self-complacency,

From untimely projects,

From needless perplexity,

From the murdering spirit and devices of Satan,
From the influence of the spirit of this world,
From hypocrisy and fanaticism,

From the deceitfulness of sin,

From all sin,

Preserve us, gracious Lord and God.

By all the merits of thy life,

By thy human birth and circumcision,

By thy obedience, diligence, and faithfulness,
By thy humility, meekness, and patience,
By thy extreme poverty,

By thy holy baptism,

By thy watching, fasting, and temptations,
By thy griefs and sorrows,

By thy prayers and tears,

By thy having been despised and rejected,

Bless and comfort us, gracious Lord and God.

By thine agony and bloody sweat,

By thy bonds and scourgings,

By thy crown of thorns,

By thy cross and passion,

By thy sacred wounds and precious blood,

By thy dying words,

By thy atoning death,
