ALMIGHTY GOD, in Whom we live and move and have our being, we adore Thee as the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, in Whose name we present our adoration, our thanksgiving, our praise, and our supplication. We thank Thee for the gift of Thy Son, through Whom we have our redemption, and in Whose name we ask for the pardon of all our sins. We beseech Thee, Lord, to keep us this day, in all joy, health, and safety from the perils that may beset us. Grant that from day to day we may walk in all reverence and godly fear in the way of Him Who hath called us into His Church and Kingdom. Deliver us, we pray Thee, from all envy, and fear, and temptation. Grant unto us that* which is good and profitable, and for- give us those things wherein we have sinned against Thee. Deliver us from all those things which estrange men one from another, from such things as cause men to stumble and err from the truth as it is in Christ. Keep us from the dominion of selfishness, and grant us willingness to bear one another's burdens. These, and all other needed blessings, we ask in the adorable name of our Saviour, to Whom with the Father and the Spirit shall be tne praise and power and dominion now and forevermore. Amen.
