Grant us pardon, grant us peace,
Till our earthly wanderings cease.
To the Father praises sing,

Praise to Christ, our risen King,
Praise to thee, the Lord of love,
Blessed Spirit, holy dove.

7s.

TRINITY SUNDAY.

Meet and right it is to sing,
At all times in every place,
Glory to our heavenly King,

To the God of truth and grace;
Join we, then, in sweet accord,
All in one thanksgiving join:
Holy, holy, holy Lord!

Never-ceasing praise be thine.

TUNE 205.

Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God of hosts! The whole earth is full of his glory!

No man hath seen God at any time; the only-begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

O Lord, thou Triune God! of thee, through thee, and to thee, are all things. Thou dwellest between the cherubim; yet thou graciously regardest them of low estate: in mercy hear our prayer.

Lord, Lord God! great in counsel, and mighty in deed; whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men; we poor sinners come before thee, trusting, not in our own righteousness, but solely in thy great mercy.

O Lord God! comfort us; lift up the light of thy countenance upon us, and we shall be saved:

Amen! Amen! Amen!

Lord God, our FATHER, which art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name; 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; for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever: Amen.

Lord God, SoN, thou Saviour of the world,
Be gracious unto us.

Lord God, HOLY GHOST,

Abide with us forever.

78.

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
One in Three, and Three in One,
As by the celestial host,

Let thy will on earth be done;
Praise by all to thee be given,

Glorious Lord of earth and heaven.

TUNE 581.

Holy FATHER! glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

We pray not that thou shouldest take us out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep us from the evil. Sanctify us through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Thou God of all grace, the true Father of all thy children both in heaven and on earth, do thou, while we are in this world, make us perfect, stablish, strengthen us.

By thy Spirit strengthen us in the inner man, and grant that Christ may dwell in our hearts by faith, and that we may be rooted and grounded in him through love; so that we may be with him where he is, and behold his glory, which thou hast given him.

Hear us, gracious Lord and God.

TUNE TE DEUM.

Father of heaven! whose love profound
A ransom for our souls hath found,
Before thy throne we sinners bend;

To us thy pardoning love extend: Amen.

Faithful is he that hath called you, who also will do it.
Amen! Amen! Amen!

Lord God SON, thou Saviour of the world! Thou eternal Word, by whom, and for whom, all things were made! Thou didst become flesh for our sakes, that whosoever believeth on thee should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Grant us to behold thy glory, the glory of the only-begotten Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

O Jesus Christ, our Saviour! who art true God and true man; thou art the light of the world. Teach us to walk in thy light.

Thou hast the words of eternal life! Feed our souls unto life everlasting. No man cometh unto the Father but by thee. Teach us, therefore, to know the Father.

And as thou hast gone to the Father, do thou send to our hearts the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, that he may reveal

thee unto us as the propitiation for our sins, and not for our sins only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

O Christ, thou Lamb of God, which takest away the sin of the world,

Have mercy upon us.

O Christ, thou Lamb of God, which takest away the sin of the world,

Reveal thyself unto our hearts.

O Christ, thou Lamb of God, which takest away the sin of the world,

Give unto us thy peace.

58, 8s & 5s.

Holy Trinity,

Thanks and praise to thee,

That our life and whole salvation

Flow from Christ's blest incarnation,

And his death for us

On the shameful cross.

TUNE 68.

O most merciful Saviour! who hast reconciled all things unto thyself, whether they be things on earth or things in heaven, and who hast made peace through the blood of thy cross; may thy precious blood cleanse us from all sin; and by thy stripes may we be healed.

Crucify with thee our sinful flesh, with all its desires, that henceforth we may not serve sin, but walk with thee in newness of life.

O thou Prince of life, who didst rise from the grave; thou who hast overcome him that had the power of death; who hast brought life and immortality to light; confirm us in the Faith, that we may live, even though we die.

Teach us to look away from the things that are seen and are temporal, and to seek those things that are above; and let thy strength, O thou Prince of our salvation, be mighty in our weakness.

O thou, our eternal High-priest! thou, who for us didst enter within the vail; be thou our advocate at the right hand of the Father, so that neither height nor depth, things present nor things to come, nor any other creature, may be able to separate us from the love of God.

O Christ, thou eternal King of glory! unto whom is given all power in heaven and on earth, rule thou over thine enemies, till they become thy foot-stool. Lead thou thy church out of conflict unto victory, when thou shalt come again in the clouds of heaven to judge the living and the dead.

Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!

Hear us, gracious Lord and God.

L. M.

TUNE TE DEUM.

Almighty Son! Incarnate Word!
Our Prophet, Priest, Redeemer, Lord!
Before thy throne we sinners bend;

To us thy saving grace extend: Amen.

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing, for ever and ever: Hallelujah!

Amen! Amen! Amen!

O thou, HOLY SPIRIT! who proceedest from the Father, and whom our Lord Jesus Christ hath sent unto us, thou who art true God, do thou testify of Christ unto our hearts.

O Spirit of truth, who provest all things, search and try our hearts whether we be in the faith.

Teach us to call Jesus Our Lord; and help us to cry Abba, Our Father; that we may not again fear, but have access to the throne of grace with all confidence and joy.

Bear witness with our spirits that we are children of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may, hereafter, be glorified with him.

Enlighten us with thy light, and lead us into all truth, that we may know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge. Constrain us by faith and by love to be obedient unto thee, that we may not grieve thee; for by thee are we sealed unto the day of redemption.

Incite us to every good word and work; and enable us to mortify the flesh, that we may truly live.

Help our infirmities, when we know not how to pray for anything as we ought; make intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Adorn us with strength and gifts in Christ Jesus; and change us into his glorious image from glory to glory; that we may be his property, and abound unto the praise of his

grace.

Hear us, gracious Lord and God.

L. M.

TUNE TE DEUM.

Eternal Spirit! by whose breath
The soul is raised from sin and death,
Before thy throne we sinners bend;

To us thy quickening power extend: Amen.

O Spirit of grace! direct our hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

Amen! Amen! Amen!

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end: Amen.

Grace and peace be with all them that are the elect of God, according to the foreknowledge of the Father, through the blood of sprinkling of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the sanctifying influences of the Holy Spirit:

Amen! Amen! Amen!

88 & 78.

May the grace of Christ our Saviour,
And the Father's boundless love,
With the Holy Spirit's favor,

Rest upon us from above:
Thus may we abide in union
With each other and the Lord;
And possess, in sweet communion,
Joys which earth cannot afford.

TUNE 167.

IN MEMORY OF THE MARTYRS.

To be used on the Sunday nearest July 6th, the Memorial Day of the Martyrdom of John Huss; or, on the Sunday nearest November 1st.

C. M. D.

CHOIR. The Son of God goes forth to war,
A kingly crown to gain;

His blood-red banner streams afar:

Who follows in his train?

MINISTER. Who best can drink his cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain,

Who patient bears his cross below,

He follows in his train.

ALL. A glorious band, the chosen few,
On whom the Spirit came;

TUNE 590.

Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,
And mocked the cross and flame.

They met the tyrant's brandished steel,

The lion's gory mane;

They bowed their necks the death to feel:
Who follows in their train?

A noble army, men and boys,

The matron and the maid,

Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
