EVENING.

0 Almighty father, Lord of heaven and earth, we confess that we have sinned against Thee m thought, word, and d,eed. Have mercy upon us, 0 Lord ; Have mercy upon us, after Thy great goodness; according to the multitude of Thy merpies do away our offences ; wash us thoroughly from

our wickedness and cleanse us from our sins, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen Our Father, Which art, &c. Accept, we beseech Thee, this our evening thanksgiving, 0 Thou fountain of all good, Who hast led us m safety through the length of the day ; Who daily blessest us with so many temporal mercies, and hast given us the hope of resurrection to eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. . . ' 0 Merciful God, bless Thy holy Church throughout all the world : bless especially the portion of it m which we live ; make all the members of it sound m faith and holy m life,

that they may truly and heartily serve Thee. We commend to Thy Fatherly goodness our relations, friends and neigbours, and all who desire or ought to be especially remembered m our prayers. Succour the poor,- comfort all m trouble, have mercy on the sick and dying, and help us, by Thy grace to prepare ourselves daily for the life to come, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Look down, 0 Lord, we beseech Thee, on this dwelling, and drive far from it all snares of the enemy. Let Thy holy angels dwell within it to preserve us ib peace, and let Thy blessing be upon us for eAer, through Christ our Lord. Amen,
