Let us adore and fall down before the Lord, who created us; for he is the Lord our God, and we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

Let us adore and fall down before him. To-day, if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts, but listen with awe to his word, "and bend your knees before his holy altars.

We will adore the Lord of glory; we will worship the God of our salvation. Glory be to the Father, &c.

As it was in the beginning, &c.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done on 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. Amen.

Psalm cxxix. De Profundis.

Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice.

Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities, Lord, who shall stand it?

For with thee there is merciful forgiveness, and by reason of thy law I have waited for thee, O Lord.

My soul hath relied on his word; my soul hath hoped in the Lord.

From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

Because with the Lord there is mercy, and with him plentiful redemption.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Eternal rest give to them, O Lord,
And may perpetual light shine upon them.

LET US PRAY.

O GOD, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, grant to the souls of thy

servants departed, the remission of all their sins, that through pious supplications they may obtain that pardon which they have always desired; who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.

To thee, O Lord, we recommend the soul of thy servant N., that being dead to this world he may live to thee; and whatever sins he has committed in this life, through human frailty, do thou, in thy most merciful goodness, pardon. Through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

AND now, O almighty Father, behold we thy people presume to appear before thee this day, to offer up to thee by the hands of thy Minister, and by the hands of our great High Priest, Jesus Christ thy Son, the unbloody sacrifice of his Body and Blood, as a perpetual commemoration of his passion and death.

First. For thy own honour, praise, adoration, and glory. Prostrate before thee, sensible of our own unworthiness, and conscious of our absolute dependence on thee, we hereby acknowledge thee as the great Disposer of life and death: we adore thee as the supreme Ruler of us and of all things. Secondly. Calling to mind with the greatest gratitude, the innumerable benefits we have received from thy bounty, in our creation, redemption, and preservation, we here offer thee in return this pure oblation, as a sacrifice of thanksgiving for all thy mercies and blessings bestowed upon us, and upon all thy creatures.

Thirdly. O God, the consciousness of our manifold crimes, forces us to confess our unworthiness to appear before thee. But is not Jesus the propitiation not only for our sins, but for those of the whole world? Him then we offer to thee who has cancelled the hand-writing that was against us, and whose blood is sufficient to wash away the sins of a thousand worlds, that through him we may obtain mercy, pardon, and full remission of all our sins.

Fourthly. Acknowledging that nothing is granted by thee to man, but through
