praise the Lord for his goodness; and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men !

That they would offer unto him the sacrifice of thanksgiving; and tell out his works with gladness! They that go down to the sea in ships; and occupy their business in great waters;

O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness; and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!

That they would exalt him also in the congregation of the people; and praise him in the seat of the elders!

his wonders in the deep. For at his word, the stormy wind ariseth; which lifteth up the waves thereof.

They are carried up to the heaven, and down again to the deep; their soul melteth away because of the trouble.

So when they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, he delivereth them out of their distress.

For he maketh the storm to cease, so that the waves thereof are still.

Then are they glad, because they are at rest; and so he bringeth them unto the haven where they would be.

ING.

O MOST mighty and gracious good God, thy mercy is over all thy works, but in special manner hath been extended towards us, whom thou hast so powerfully and wonderfully defended. Thou hast showed us terrible things, and wonders in the deep, that we might see how powerful and gracious a God thou art; how able and ready to help those who trust in thee. Thou hast showed us how both winds and seas obey thy command; that we may learn even from them hereafter to obey thy voice, and to do thy will.

We therefore bless and glorify thy name, for this thy mercy, in saving us when we were ready to perish. And we beseech thee, make us as truly sensible now of thy mercy, as we were then of the danger; and give us hearts always ready to express our thankfulness, not only by words, but al

so by our lives, in being more obedient to thy holy commandments. Continue, we beseech thee, this thy goodness to us; that we, whom thou hast saved, may serve thee in holiness and righteousness all the days of our life, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Amen.

O BE joyful in the Lord, all ye people; serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a song.

Be ye sure that the Lord he is God; it is he who 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 speak good of his name.

For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting, and his truth endureth from generation to generation.

People.

Unto the Lord our God will we lift up our souls, and magnify his name together.

THE INTRODUCTORY PRAYER.

O LORD God Almighty, before whom all creatures bow, the fountain of life and the father of all mercies, we thine unworthy servants come before thee in humble acknowledgment of thine eternal power and majesty. Thou art the living and true God; thy kingdom ruleth

over all, and thy goodness is without bounds. Assist us to worship thee in spirit and in truth; may we celebrate thy perfections and speak of thy wonderful works with reverence; give thanks unto thee, and sing thy praises with joy; humble ourselves before thee with sincere and contrite hearts; and pray unto thee in the faith that thou hearest and answerest prayer. Graciously accept these our devotions, which we offer in the name and as disciples of Jesus our Lord.

May the words of our mouths, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, our strength and our redeemer.

Then shall be recited the following Anthem, or instead of it the Psalms appointed for the day.

Min. WE praise thee, O God; we worship thee,

the most glorious and the best of beings; the creator and governor of all things, visible and invisible.

Peo. O Lord God, thou art greatly to be praised; and to be had in reverence by all who draw nigh unto thee.

Min. We acknowledge thee, the one, living, and true God, God in heaven above, and in earth beneath, and throughout all worlds; there is none beside thee.

Peo. We magnify thee, the high and lofty One, who inhabitest eternity.

Min. Thou art a spiritual and incorruptible being; who dwellest in light inaccessible, and full of glory; whom no mortal eye hath seen, or can see.

ship thee, who art a spirit, in spirit and in truth.

Min. Thou art perfect in wisdom, wonderful in counsel, and excellent in all thy works.

Peo. To the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever.

Peo. We reverence thy name; for thou art holy. Min. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy truth reacheth to the heavens ; justice and judgment are the everlasting foundations of thy throne.

Peo. Just and true are all thy ways, O thou King of saints.

Min. Thou art good, and thou doest good continually; all thy works bear testimony to thy rich and overflowing bounty; every good and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from thee, the Father of all.

Peo. O Lord, thy goodness is above all praise;

universal as thy works, and endless as eternity.

Min. All glory and honor, blessing and praise be unto God for ever. Amen.
