We thank thee, more especially, this evening, for the mercies and privileges of the Sabbath: for the word of thy grace which has been read in our hearing, for the message of thy Gospel which has been announced for our acceptance, and for the opportunities which we have enjoyed of worshipping thee in quietness and without alarm.

We thank thee for any disposition which thou hast given us to value these privileges, and for such mea

sures of thy grace as thou hast been pleased severally to confer upon us.

Nevertheless, thou knowest, O Lord, how frail and feeble we are in our best and most favoured condition; how prone we are to wander from thee the God of our salvation; how liable to forget the blessings bestowed, and the obligations consequently laid upon us.

O let not the privileges of the Sabbath, to the close of which we are now brought, be remembered against us in judgment; but may the blessed results of them be found in us at the day of the appearing of Jesus Christ.

all who have this day worshipped before thee, and listened to thy holy word.

Bring into the way of truth, we humbly beseech thee, all such as have erred and are deceived.
