We know that we are always exposed to many dangers both in our bodies and in our souls; and that we are helpless and wretched without thee. Glory be unto thee, that thou dost not leave us without hope, but graciously invitest us to repose ourselves and all our cares upon thee. Increase in us, O Lord, the habit of entire dependence upon thee, and of cheerful resignation to thy will. Grant that we may each of us be growing into a truly Christian state of mind, abounding in faith and thanksgiving towards thee, and in mutual

Accept, O heavenly Father, these our supplications, and mercifully do for us more than we can ask or think, even as thine infinite wisdom sees to be good for us, for the sake of our only Mediator and Advocate, Jesus Christ; unto whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, now, henceforth, and for evermore.

THANKSGIVING.

O God, whose goodness is everlasting, and over all thy works, we humbly thank thee for the manifold tokens of it which thou art constantly bestowing upon ourselves. We owe it to thy fatherly care, that we have passed the night in safety; that we enjoy the blessings of a new day; and that we have such innumerable comforts in our souls and bodies and estate.

Grant that we may have such a sense of them always upon our minds, as to live by the faith of Him who loved us, and gave Himself for us. May we so rest our hopes upon his merits, that we may be justified in thy sight from all our sins; and so religiously walk in all good works, that this our present life may be a daily preparation and a heavenly discipline for the eternal life to come, through the mediation of the same thy Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

CONFESSION.

O GOD of all mercies, full of compassion to them that fear thee, we desire to cast ourselves altogether on the riches of thy goodness and pity, beseeching thee to pardon our iniquities, and to cleanse us from our sins. If thou, Lord, shouldest deal with us according to our deserts, we could have no hope.
