SECOND ORDER OF MORNING PRAYER.

THE MINISTER COMMENCES BY READING ONE OF THE FOLLOWING SENTENCES OF SCRIPTure.

[It is recommended that the Congregation rise at the commencement of the Religious Exercises, and remain standing until the close of the Exhortation; also that they KNEEL in time of Prayer, and STAND, facing the pulpit, in time of Singing.]

REPENT ye, for the kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was nothing made which was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the Word was made flesh,

and dwelt among us; and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

For God so loved the world, that he sent his onlybegotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit; and they who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.

EXHORTATION.

My brethren, may this house be unto us no other than the house of God and the gate of heaven! Here let us worship Him who is a Spirit, in spirit and in truth. Suffer not the cares of the world and the anxieties of life to interrupt our devotions. But rather let us earnestly pray, that we may here find strength to present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is our reasonable service.

LET US PRAY.

ALMIGHTY GOD, who, by thy Son, Jesus Christ, hast overcome death, and opened unto us the gates of everlasting life, grant that we thy servants, having this hope, may purify ourselves, even as he is pure; that daily following the steps of his most holy life,

we may finally be received into thine eternal and glorious kingdom. Amen.

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 those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and Amen.

ever.

The Minister shall then say, (the Congregation

rising,)

MAY the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, our strength and our Redeemer. Amen.

Then shall be sung the following Psalm:

PRAISE the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, praise his holy name.

Praise the Lord, O my soul; and forget not all his benefits;

Who forgiveth all thy sins, and healeth all thy infirmities;

Who saveth thy life from destruction, and crowneth thee with mercy and loving-kindness.

O, praise the Lord, ye angels of his, ye that excel
