Confession of Sin.

0; Almighty God; iKing pfiKings; and Lqrct of; Iybrds,. who irulest the brinies of heaven and amongst the inhabitants of the earth, to whom it belongeth justly to punish sinners and to be merciful to them that truly repent ; remember not the sins of our nation nor our forget fulness of Thee, but listen to the prayers of Thy people who humble themselves before Thee. Save us and deliver us, we beseech Thee, from the hand of our enemies; that we, being armed with Thy defence, may be preserved . evermore from all perils to glorify Thee, the only giver of all victory ; through the merits of Thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 0, Lord God of Hosts, who.ruleth over all the nations of the earth, and usest the sword for Thy judgments, and who at Thy will makest wars to cease, Look, we beseech Thee, with pity upon all those who oppose Thy will ; purify us, we humbly pray Thee, from all sin m our share of this present strife ; bring it speedily, if it please Thee, to an end, and restore to us the blessing- of a lasting peace ; and meanwhile, to those who fight by sea or land, give we pray Thee protection and true courage m danger, and mercy m victory, through Jesus .Christ our Lord. Amen.
