I

BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:

And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried, He descended into hell; The third day He rose again from the dead, He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost; The holy Catholick Church; The Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body, And the life everlasting. Amen.

And after that, the people all devoutly kneeling, the Minister shall pronounce with a loud voice,

The Lord be with you.
Answer. And with thy spirit.
Minister. Let us pray.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.

UR Father, Which art in heaven, Hallowed be

Father, W. 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. Amen.

Then shall be said or sung the following responses :—

O Lord, shew Thy mercy upon us;

And grant us Thy salvation.

O Lord, save the King;

And mercifully hear us when we call upon Thee.
Endue Thy Ministers with righteousness.
And make Thy chosen people joyful.

Set up Thyself, O God, above the heavens,
And Thy Glory above all the earth.

Give Thy Son the heathen for His inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for His possession.

Stir up Thy strength, O Lord, and come and help us. That Thy way may be known upon earth, Thy saving health among all nations.

O Saviour of the world, Who by Thy Cross and precious Blood hath redeemed us,

Save us, and help us, we humbly beseech Thee, O Lord.

THE COLLECT FOR THE DAY.

MOST merciful Saviour and Redeemer, Who wouldest not that any should perish, but that all men should be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, fulfil Thy gracious promise to be present with those who are gone forth in Thy Name to preach the Gospel of Salvation in distant lands. Be with

them in all their toils to strengthen them, and in every danger to deliver them. Prosper the work of their hands upon them; O prosper Thou their handiwork, to Thine honour and glory, Who livest and reignest, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

O
