cross;

Thou who, at the last and dreadful day, wilt come with glory to judge the living and the dead;

Thou, by whom was wrought the glorious mystery of our Saviour's incarnation;

Thou, who art the free dispenser of all graces, and our faithful comforter in all afflictions;

O sacred Trinity, three persons and one God, of equal glory and co-eternal majesty ; O sacred Trinity, from whom, by whom, and in whom are all things;

O sacred Trinity, to whom all the angels and saints of heaven continually sing, Holy, Holy, Holy;

Have mercy on us.

Blessed for ever be thy name, eternal Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for the immensity of thy power, which at first created all things of nothing, and still preserveth them, that they return not again to nothing.-A. My soul doth magnify thee, O Lord.

For the riches of thy bounty, which filleth every thing, according to its capacity; and for the wisdom of thy councils, which sweetly dispose, and irresistibly govern, the whole frame of the world;

For thy provident forewarning us against the danger of sin, by threatening hell to our offences; and for graciously inviting us to our own happiness, by promising heaven as a reward to our obedience;

For thy meek subjection to thy parents; for thy fasting and retirement; for thy miraculous and beneficent works; for all thy sufferings and ignominious death;

For thy glorious resurrection from the grave, and triumphant ascension into heaven; for sending the Holy Ghost to abide with thy church for ever, and promising to be with us thyself to the end of the world;

And blessed be thou, O God the Holy Ghost, who proceedest from the Father and the Son, for thy continual preservation of the church in truth, unity, and holiness; for infusing the love of God into our hearts, and comforting us in all our temporal distresses with the hope of eternal happiness;

And blessed be thou, O Lord, among thy innumerable benefits, for thy One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church; for the steadiness of faith and peace of conscience which we experience by relying on her authority; for the adorable sacrifice of the altar, and the plentiful means of salvation which we so happily enjoy in her communion;

For the particular benefits bestowed upon us, and the many dangers from which thou hast delivered us; for our education, health, condition, and state of life; for our daily bread, and all thy other temporal blessings; J

For the checks of our own conscience, and the motions of the Holy Spirit; for thy patience in expecting our repentance, and for the opportunities which thou offerest us of amending our lives; for our frequent deliverance from the occasions of sin, and for all thy other spiritual blessings; ..A.

Be thou exalted, O God, above the clouds: and thy glory above the heavens....A. Whilst we live, we will sanctify thy name; we will sing praises to our God, whilst we have any being. O Lord, hear my prayer.

And let my cry come to thee.

LET US PRAY.

ALMIGHTY and ever-living God, from whom descendeth every good and perfect gift, graciously accept this humble tribute of praise and thanksgiving from us thy servants, and mercifully grant that the frequent meditation on thy infinite goodness may force our wills to love thee above all things, and the serious consideration of thy incomprehensible majesty, captivate our understanding to the obedience of faith; that we may here, in reverence of thy word, believe what we do not see, and hereafter, in the blissful vision of thy glory, see more than we now believe; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
