lorauiau ^l]urcl| Published by authority of the Provincial Synod. Bethlehem, Pa., 1920 Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1923, b;, The Board of Elders of the Northern Diocese of the Church of the United Brethren in the United States of America, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D.C MADE BY THE GLOBE-TIMES PBINTEKT BETHLEHEM, PENNSYLVANIA PREFACE This Hymnal and Liturgies is presented to the Congregations of the Moravian Church in America, in accordance with a series of enactments of the Synods of 1913 and 1920, of the Northern Province of the Moravian Church in America. A committee, constituted of nine representatives of the Northern Province and two of the Southern Province, was appointed to revise the Hymnal; a committee of five was also appointed to revise the Liturgy. To the former was committed the task of assembling all parts of the work, determining details of arrangement and of publication. Both committees aimed steadfastly to bring the new Hymn Book up to the standards of modern hymnological and liturgical practice, without impairing its Moravian character. This latest addition to Moravian Hymnals has behind it a long and noble ancestry. It is the lineal descendant of the earliest collection of its kind. The Unitas Fratrum, or Moravian Church, was the first among Protestant churches to publish a hjTnn-book. It appeared in the Bohemian language, at Prague, in 1501. It contained versions of old Latin Hymns, together with many original compositions, mostly by John Hus and Bishop Luke of Prague. Subsequent issues followed up to the year 1569, some of them appearing in the Polish and German languages. The tunes, printed at the head of each hymn, were partly Gregorian, partly folk-song melodies adapted to the uses of the sanctuary, and partly original compositions. The hymns of these collections were a power in the Church, in Bohemia, Moravia and the regions beyond. They gave life to public worship, they were sung in the homes of noble and peasant, they set forth the pure Gospel in strains that captivated thousands of hearts. The ancient Unitas Fratrum was overthrown in course of the Counter- Reformation, about the middle of the seventeenth century. The Renewed Unitas Fratrum, or Moravian Church, continued the hymnological traditions of the fathers. For a time, after its resuscitation, in Herrnhut, Saxony, 1722, some private collections of hymns by Count Zinzendorf were used. In 1735, a Church Hymn Book was issued, in the German language, compiled by Zinzendorf. Various revisions followed. The most notable of them was the collection prepared, 1778, under the supervision of Christian Gregor, a dis- tinguished hymnologist of the Church. An abridgment of that Hymnal is still in use in the German congregations of the Moravian Church. Many hymns and tunes of the Ancient Unitas Fratrum were included in these German hymnals. They form one of the strong historic links between the Moravian Church in its ancient and its modern forms. Based on one or another of these German editions, Hymn Books have been compiled in various European languages, such as French, Dutch, Windish, Lettish, and Esthonian, as well as in other foreign tongues, for the use of the Missions among the Eskimos, Indians, Kaffirs and others. The first English Hymnal of the Moravian Church appeared in London, 1741. Revised editions followed in the succeeding decades. The Litany in English was first included in 1746. The Synod of the British Province, of the year 1835, requested James Montgomery, the Moravian poet, to undertake a revision, which, with modifications, appeared in 1849. Some decades later, further revision was accomplished. The latest edition of the Hymnal of the British Province appeared in 1914, to the preparation of which a Committee devoted study and labor extending through ten years. As regards character and language, this collection is more thoroughly English than any that has preceded it. The first English Hymn Book of the Moravian Church published in America appeared in 1813. It was a reprint of the British Province Hymnal of 1801. The first original Hymn Book of the Moravian Church in America appeared in 1851. It was based upon the British edition of 1849, but differed from it in many respects. Successive Provincial Synods between 1864 and 1873 determined upon a thorough revision of the Liturgy and Hymns. This was completed in 1876 and has continued in use until now. Its place will be taken by the present Hymnal and Liturgies, on which the Hymnal Revision and Liturgy Revision Committees have been engaged since 1914. A book, often referred to in the pages of this Hymnal, The Offices of Worship and Hymns, succeeding earlier editions issued in 1866 and 1872, designed for use in the Church-schools, in catechetical classes and meetings for prayer and praise, was published in 1891. Moravians inherited the hymnological and musical impulse from John Hus. In course of time, they developed greatly the sacred poetry and music of their manuals of praise. They influenced the psalmody of Germany and, in turn, experienced the inflow of a great tide of German poetry and music, as well as a stream of influence from Geneva. They entered England in time to influence the singing as well as the theology of the great revival of the eighteenth century. In turn, their hymns and melodies experienced considerable changes in range and character. Now, new materials have been drawn from various sources opened up by the extended researches that have been conducted. In compliance with the declared wish of Synod, this new book of praise is issued as a hymnal with music. This has given the Hymnal new form as compared with its predecessors. It is interesting to know that this method of publication was customary, though incompletely carried out, in the Hymnals of the Ancient Unitas Fratrum. The change has facilitated the importation of new material, especially of new musical forms. It should prove beneficial, also, in stimulating the singing of the congregations on all occasions of public worship. In consequence of the change, the system of designating tunes by number — in vogue in the Moravian Church since the middle of the eighteenth century when Grimm collected and Gregor published the tunes then in use in the Moravian Church and arranged them according to metre — has given place to the system of naming tunes. No significant tradition is thereby violated. For convenience, the tune numbers, long familiar, have been appended in unobtrusive parentheses to the tune names in the present Hymnal. In the selection of hymns, the Committee proceeded with the clear under- standing that a Moravian Hymnal must be faithful to Moravian traditions and practice, must draw upon the treasury of hymns of the Church universal, must express adequately all phases of Christian truth, life and feeling. In conformity with these considerations, hymns that best represented Moravian life and teaching have been retained, and only such have been admitted as new material as have commended themselves by a proved fitness. No period productive of worthy hymnody has been slighted, and wide examination has been given to the body of religious verse produced during the last century. The text of the hymns has been minutely scrutinized with a view to accuracy. Preference has been given to the author's original version, or to such particular reading as may have endeared itself to the Church. Much care was exercised in the selection of tunes. Rich and varied materials were laid under tribute. As far as has been deemed expedient, preference has been given to "old and familiar" tunes and tunes the accept- ability of which has been elsewhere tested in actual use. All tunes have been scrutinized from the standpoint of durable value, devotional spirit, fitness to the hymn to which each is set, and adaptability to use by the congregations. Careful regard has been paid to preserving established associations of hymns and tunes. Exception was made where it was found that new adaptations give fresh interest and dignity to precious hymns. In some cases an alternate tune has been added or indicated by cross-reference. Throughout, the revisers have striven to maintain the high standards and noble ideals handed down in the worship-song of the Moravian Church. The hymns were selected to fill out a comprehensive rubric scheme, in order that the Hymnal might be built up in proper proportion and to a satisfying completeness. The divisions of the rubric arrangement are built on a doctrinal and practical subject basis; they recognize, also, the festivals and periods of the Christian Year. The two ideas were found to be not irreconcilable and did not involve unnecessary duplication. By a rubric system so framed the hymns are classified in such a manner as to be most readily at hand to meet the occasion. Complementing this arrangement, the Index of Subjects will further facilitate the choice of hymns. With a view to stimulating intelligent interest in hymnology, historical data and other notes of information have been appended to hymns and tunes or set forth in appropriate indexes. Great care has been taken to secure all possible accuracy in detail. Permission has been kindly granted, in not a few cases free of charge, to insert many copyright hymns and tunes. To the owners of copyright the revisers give their cordial thanks. Due acknowledgment is appended to each hymn or tune concerned. It is hoped that any unintentional infringement of copyright will be pardoned, special acknowledgment being omitted in some cases where, in spite of every effort, it has not been possible to trace the ownership. Tfinfntt In accordance with synodal enactment, the Liturgy has been carefully revised. Five new Forms of Worship have been added, a Service Preparatory to Holy Communion, a Service of Prayer for Schools and Colleges, a Patriotic Service, an Introductory Missionary Service and an alternate Service for the Burial of the Dead. The Rites of the Church required but few alterations. Provision was made for the generally adopted custom of using the individual cups in the Service for Holy Communion. "The Private Celebration of the Lord's Supper" has taken the place of "The Communion for the Sick." Several of the Services for the Church Seasons have been revised. The Bible text used in the newer Services is taken, as a rule, from The American Standard Edition of the Revised Version of the Bible, copyright, 1901, by Thomas Nelson & Sons, and is used by permission. The Rites of the Church and the Services heretofore in use follow mainly the text of the King James' Version. It was deemed wise not to change readings which long usage has made precious. In conclusion, we renew the prayers of our fathers as expressed in the Preface to every edition of the Hymn Book since 1789 — "May all who use these hymns experience, at all times, the blessed effects of complying with the Apostle Paul's injunction (Eph. 5: 18, 19), 'Be filled with the Spirit, speaking to yourselves in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.' Yea, may they anticipate, while here below, though in an humble and imperfect strain, the song of the blessed above, who, being redeemed out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation, and having washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb, are standing before the throne, and singing in perfect harmony with the many angels round about it (Rev. 5: 9-12 and 7: 9-14), '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. Amen!' " July, 1923. Fifth Printing, 1948. NOTE The tunes for the hymns in the Liturgical Services, which are not printed with the Chants, pages 145-171, will be found in the Hymnal. The names of the tunes, their former designation in the Offices of Worship, by number and letter, enclosed in brackets, and the number at which the tunes may be found in the Hymnal, are printed with each hymn in the Liturgies.

Blessed is the man whom Thou choosest and causest to approach unto Thee, that he may dwell in Thy courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, even of Thy holy temple. But who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who shall stand in His holy place? He that hath clean hands and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins. He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He is the propitiation for our sins: And not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. Thou high and lofty One that inhabitest eternity, Whose Name is holy, Who dwellest in the high and holy place, but with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit; give us grace that we, truly confessing our manifold sins, may bring Thee the sacrifice of a broken and contrite heart, which Thou, O God, dost not despise. Amen. Drawing near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, we will confess our sins, and present our supplication before the Lord our God. Let us pray. 17 (Sfti^ral iCtturgg I 1 Here all shall kneel, and the Minister shall continue, the congregation responding: Lord God, merciful and gracious, long suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that wilt by no means clear the guilty; incline Thine ear and hear; for we do not present our supplications before Thee for our righteousnesses, but for Thy great mercies.

The ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them; but the transgressors shall fall therein. From the sin of unbelief, From all defilement of the flesh and spirit, From all self-righteousness, From every neglect of our duty, From all ingratitude and selfishness.

And ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness unto children's children, to such as keep His covenant, and to those that remember His command- ments to do them. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. T.

That we also might rise; Who ascended for us into heaven, To prepare a place for us; And to Whom are subjected the angels, and powers, and dominions: To Him be glory at all times.

U Then, all kneeling, the Minister shall offer prayer, after which, all standing, he shall say and the congregation respond: I believe in the One only God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Who created all things by Jesus Christ, and was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself. I believe in God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world ; Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son ; Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ; Who hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the Beloved. This I verily believe. ^ The following ascription of praise may either be sung by the choir, or said by the Minister: We thank Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so. Father; for so it seemed good in Thy sight. . Father, glorify Thy Name. 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: for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever: Amen. 24 ®()? S^ttmtt fax Easter iHcrmng ^ Here shall the congregation be seated I believe in the Name of the only begotten Son of God, by Whom are all things, and we through Him; I believe, that He was made flesh, and dwelt among us; and took on Him the form of a servant ; By the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, was conceived of the Virgin Mary; as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same; was bom of a woman; And being found in fashion as a man, was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin: For He is the Lord, the Messenger of the covenant, Whom we delight in. The Lord and His Spirit have sent Him. to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. He spoke that which He did know, and testified that which He had seen: as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God. Behold the Lamb of God, Which taketh away the sin of the world. Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; Went also by the Spirit and preached unto the spirits in prison ; The third day rose again from the dead, and with Him many bodies of the saints who slept; Ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the throne of the Father; whence He will come, in like manner as He was seen going into heaven. T. MARENZO (146, A) Hymn, 122 Voice — The Spirit and the Bride "O come!" are now entreating; Choir — Let all who hear their voice "O come!" be loud repeating: Congregation — Amen! Lord Jesus, come; We wait in faith for Thee; Soon, we implore Thee, come, Thy glory let us see. The Lord will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, to judge both the quick and the dead. This is my Lord, Who redeemed me, a lost and undone human creature, purchased and gained me from sin, from death, and from the power of the devil ; Not with gold or silver, but with His holy, precious blood, and with His innocent suffering and dying; To the end that I should be His own, and in His kingdom live under Him and serve Him, in eternal righteousness, innocence, and happiness: Even as He, being risen from the dead, liveth and reigneth, world without end. This I most certainly believe. 25 SIl|r i>rrutrp fur iEaatpr ilnrmug I believe in the Holy Ghost, Who proceedeth from the Father, and Whom our Lord Jesus Christ sent, after He went away, that He should abide with us forever; That He should comfort us, as a mother comforteth her children; That He should help our infirmities, and make intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered; That He should bear witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God, and teach us to cry, Abba, Father; That He should shed abroad in our hearts the love of God, and make our bodies His holy temple; And that He should work all in all, dividing to every man severally as He will. To Him be glory in the Church, which is in Christ Jesus, the holy, universal Christian Church, in the communion of saints, at all times, and from eternity to eternity: Amen. I believe, that by my own reason and strength I cannot believe in Jesus Christ my Lord, or come to Him; But that the Holy Ghost calleth me by the gospel, enlighteneth me with His gifts, sanctifieth and preserveth me in the true faith; Even as He calleth, gathereth, enlighteneth, and sanctifieth the whole Church on earth, which He keepeth by Jesus Christ in the only true faith; In which Christian Church, God forgiveth me and every believer all sin daily and abundantly. This I assuredly believe. I believe, that by holy baptism I am embodied a member of the Church of Christ, which He hath loved, and for which He gave Himself, that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word: Amen. 1 Here shall the congregation rise. In this communion of saints my faith is placed upon my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Who died for me, and shed His blood on the cross for the remission of sins, and Who hath granted unto me His body and blood in the Lord's Supper, as a pledge of grace; as the Scripture saith. Our Lord Jesus Christ, the same night in which He was betrayed, took bread; and when He had given thanks, He brake it, and gave it to His disciples, and said. Take, eat: this is My body which is given for you ; this do in remembrance of Me. After the same manner also, our Lord Jesus Christ, when He had supped, took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying. Drink ye all of it; this is My 26 ®1^^ S^nbm for Easter iHnrnittg blood, the blood of the New Testament, which is shed for you, and for many, for the remission of sins. This do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me. Amen. U Then may be sung the following hymns, the first by the choir and the second by the congregation or both by the congregation: T. RHAW (22, A) Hymn, 445 Hail, sacred feast, which Jesus makes. Rich banquet of His flesh and blood ' Thrice happy he, who here partakes That sacred stream, that heavenly food! T. GOUDIMEL (205, A) Hymn, 111 Lord, Thy body ne'er forsake. Ne'er Thy congregation leave; We to Thee our refuge take. Of Thy fullness we receive: Every other help be gone. Thou art our support alone; For on Thy supreme commands All the universe depends. H The following hymn shall be sung by the choir and congregation alternately, or unitedly, whenever this Service is used on the consecrated ground of the dead, else it shall be omitted. T. BEDFORD (14, C) Choir — The graves of all His saints Christ blest. And softened every bed; Where should the dying members rest, But with the dying Head? Hymn, 132 Thence He arose, no more to die, And showed our feet the way To follow Him, enthroned on high, At the great rising day. Congregation — Then let the last loud trumpet sound. And bid our kindred rise; Awake, ye nations under ground, Ye saints, ascend the skies. K Then shall the Minister continue and say, and the congregation respond: I have a desire to depart, and to be with Christ, which is far better; I shall never taste death; yea, I shall attain unto the resurrection of the dead; for the body which I shall put off, this grain of corruptibility, shall put on in- corruption; my flesh shall rest in hope. And the God of peace, That brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, That great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, shall also quicken these our mortal bodies, if so be that the Spirit of God hath dwelt in them. Amen. We poor sinners pray, hear us, gracious Lord and God. 27 site i>rnitr? for Saater IHontin^ And keep us in everlasting fellowship with those of our brethren and sisters who, since last Easter-day, have entered into the joy of their Lord, and with the whole Church Triumphant, and let us rest together in Thy presence from our labors. Amen. T. GOUDIMEL (205, A) Hymn, 111 Choir — Congrega t ion — Who are these in bright array. These through fiery trials trod. This innumerable throng, These from great affliction came; Round the altar night and day. Now, before the throne of God, Hymning one triumphant song: Sealed with His almighty Name, "Worthy is the Lamb once slain. Clad in raiment pure and white. Blessing, honor, glory, power, Victor-palms in every hand. Wisdom, riches, to obtain, Through their dear Redeemer's might. New dominion every hour?" More than conquerors they stand. Glory be to Him Who is the Resurrection and the Life; He was dead, and behold, He is alive forevermore; and he that believeth in Him, though he were dead, yet shall he live. Glory be to Him in the Church which waiteth for Him, and in that which is around Him, from everlasting to everlasting. Amen. T. ST. MARK (151. G) Hymn, 149 I give Thee thanks unfeigned, O Jesus, Friend in need. For what Thy soul sustained. When Thou for me didst bleed. Grant me to lean unshaken Upon Thy faithfulness, Until I hence am taken To see Thee face to face. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the com- munion of the Holy Ghost, be with us all. Amen. 28 Ett^a of tl|?

By Thy holy sacraments, Bless us, gracious Lord and God. Baptism was instituted by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who said unto His disciples, Go ye, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. Baptism is the answer of a good conscience toward God, Who hath saved us by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, Who is shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour. He also gave this promise: He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. Children may be made partakers of this grace; for Christ hath said: Suffer little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven. ^ Then shall be sung one of the following hymns: T. EISENACH (90, A) Hymn, 140 An infant we present to Thee As Thy redeemed property, And Thee most fervently entreat Thyself this child to consecrate By baptism, and its soul to bless, Out of the fullness of Thy grace.

At the close of the prayer the choir shall sing: In the Name of Jesus: Amen. 37 mus of tl|f (Eliitrrli ^ Then, the congregation shall stand, while the candidate shall kneel, and the Bishton? Glory and obedience be unto God the Holy- Ghost, our Guide and Comforter; Glory and adoration be to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who is the Father of all who are called children on earth and in heaven. O might each pulse thanksgiving beat, And every breath His praise repeat. Amen, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

H The service shall end with the singing of a hymn, and the festal doxology (page 21, chant page 152); or instead of the doxology, with the benediction. THE LAYING OF A CORNER-STONE H The service may be opened with the Te Deum Laudamus, or with the Canticle of Praise, or with an Invo- cation. Then shall be sung a hymn, after which shall be read the ninety-sixth Psalm, or some other portion of Scripture. An address, or several addresses, shall follow. H Thereupon, the Pastor of the church shall read the document appointed for such occasions, and put it into the corner-stone, as well as all the other articles which the stone is to contain, naming them, as he does so, one by one. Then shall be sung the following hymn: T. THE OLD HUNDREDTH (22, E) This stone to Thee in faith we lay, We build the temple, Lord, to Thee; Thine eye be open night and day, To guard this house and sanctuary. Here when Thy people seek Thy face, And dying sinners pray to live. Hear, Thou, in heaven, Thy dwelling-place. And when Thou hearest, oh forgive. Hymn, 21 Here, when Thy messengers proclaim The blessed Gospel of Thy Son, Still, by the power of His great name. Be mighty signs and wonders done. Thy glory never hence depart; Yet choose not. Lord, this house alone; Thy kingdom come to every heart. In every bosom fix Thy throne. % Here the Bishop, or, if no Bishop be present, the Pastor of the Church, or some other Minister appointed by him, shall lay the stone in its place, saying and the congregation responding: Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. Our help is in the Name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. H Then, taking a hammer, he shall say, and the congregation respond: I lay the corner-stone of a church, {or chapel,) to be here erected by {here he shall name the congregation for whose use it is to be built), and to be set apart for the worship of the Triune God agreeably to the ritual and usages of the Moravian Church, in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. ^ Here he shall thrice strike with the hammer upon the corner-stone. Then each of the Ministers present shall in like manner strike thrice upon the corner-stone, repeating the words: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Amen. H Thereupon the Bishop, or the officiating Minister, shall offer prayer, and the service shall close with a hymn and the benediction. 39 MtB of tl|f (IlliurrI) THE CONSECRATION OF A CHURCH OR CHAPEL U The service may be opened with an anthem of praise by the choir, during the singing of which the Bishop and Ministers present may enter in procession, taking their places around the communion table, ^ Then, all standing, one of the Ministers shall say, and the congregation respond: PSALM XXIV The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein: For He hath founded it upon the seas, and estabhshed it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? and who shall stand in His holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, and hath not sworn deceitfully. He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek after Him, that seek Thy face, even Jacob. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory will come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle, Lift up your heads, O ye 'gates; yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory will come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts. He is the King of glory. *l Then may be sung the following hymn: T. SOUTHAMPTON (14, F) Hymn, 41 Arise, O, King of grace, arise. Here, mighty God, accept our vows; And enter to Thy rest; Here let Thy praise be spread; Behold, Thy Church, with longing eyes, Bless the provisions of Thy house. Waits to be owned and blest. And fill Thy poor with bread. Enter with all Thy glorious train. Here let the Son of David reign, Thy Spirit, and Thy Word; Let God's anointed shine; All that the ark did once contain Justice and truth His court maintain. Could no such grace afford. With love and power divine. U Here shall be prayed the Te Deum Laudamus, all standing, after which the Bishop, or, if no Bishop be present, the Minister appointed to perform the act of consecration, shall read the eighty-fourth Psalm, and Solomon's prayer at the consecration of the temple, as found in 1 Kings viii, 22-53. 11 Then shall be sung the following hymn: T. THE OLD HUNDREDTH (22, E) Hymn, 21 O Thou, Who didst the temple fill In us, and round about us, shine; With Thy resplendent, awful train. Here cause us to behold Thy face; The glory of Thine Israel still. Oh, make this tabernacle Thine! Appear in those bright robes again. Oh, sanctify this holy place! 40 ^ Thereupon, all standing, the Bishop, or, if no Bishop be present, the Minister appointed to perform the act of consecration, shall say: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, I con- secrate this church, (or chapel), to the worship of the Triune God, agreeably to the ritual and usages of the Moravian Church. Let us pray. If Here he shall offer the prayer of consecration, imploring God to own and bless the reading and the preaching of His Word, the baptism of infants and those of riper years, the renewal of the baptismal covenant in the rite of confirmation, the sacrament of the Lord's Supper, the solemnization of matrimony, and all other services that will be held in the church, (or chapel) to the good of souls, the spread of His kingdom, and the glory of His Name. After the prayer of consecration, another anthem of praise may be sung by the choir. Then shall follow the sermon by the Minister appointed to preach it, and the service shall be closed with the singing of a hymn, and the festal doxology (page 21, Chant page 152), or with a short prayer and the benediction. THE SOLEMNIZATION OF MATRIMONY The persons to be married shall stand before the Minister with their witnesses, the man on the right hand and the woman on the left. The Minister shall then say: Dearly Beloved: We are here assembled, in the presence of God and these witnesses, to join together this man (here he shall mention the man's name) and this woman {here he shall mention the woman's name) in holy matrimony, which is commended by the Apostle to be honorable among all men; and, therefore, is not by any to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently, discreetly, and in the fear of God. In holy writ we are taught: That matrimony was instituted by God Himself, and is therefore an holy estate : That, according to the ordinance of God, a man and his wife shall be one flesh; That, under the New Covenant, the married state hath been sanctified to be an emblem of Christ and His Church ; That the husband, as the head of the wife, should love her, even as Christ also loveth the church; and that the wife be subject to her own husband in the Lord, as the Church is subject unto Christ; That, in consequence, Christians thus united together, should love one another, as one in the Lord, be faithful one to the other, assist each other mutually, and never forsake one another. Into this holy estate these two persons come now to be joined. If any man can show just cause why they may not lawfully be joined together, according to the word of God and the laws of this State, let him now speak, or else hereafter forever hold his peace. 1 Then the Minister shall say to the man, addressing him by name: Wilt thou have this woman (here he shall name her) here present to be thy wedded wife, to live together, after God's ordinance, in the holy estate of matrimony? Wilt thou love her, honor her, and care for her; and, through the grace of God, approve thyself unto her, in every respect, a faithful Christian 41 mUB of tl)f (Elturrli husband, so long as ye both shall live? If this is thy desire, then answer and say, "I will." II Then shall the man answer and say: / will. H In like manner the Minister shall say to the woman, addressing her by name: Wilt thou have this man (here he shall name him) here present to be thy wedded husband, to live together, after God's ordinance, in the holy estate of matrimony? Wilt thou love him, honor him, and be subject unto him, in the Lord; and, through the grace of God, approve thyself unto him, in every respect, a faithful Christian wife, so long as ye both shall live? If this is thy desire, then answer and say, " I will." r -11 H Then shall the woman answer and say: / Will. ^ If a ring be used, the man shall here give the ring to the woman, which the Minister taking from her shall deliver again to the man, and say: Let this ring be the sign and the token of this holy vow. Take it, and place it upon the finger of this woman and say: With this ring I thee wed. l Then the Minister shall say: Forasmuch, then, as ye have thus consented to live together in holy wed- lock, and have witnessed the same before God and these witnesses, we exhort you, that ye enter upon the estate of matrimony in the Name of the Lord, and that ye live therein according to the precepts of His holy word. Let us pray: O Lord, our God! Who Thyself hast instituted and blessed the estate of matrimony, sanctifying the same, under the New Covenant, to be an emblem of Christ and His Church, we beseech Thee, graciously to look upon these two persons, who are about to be united in holy wedlock. Grant, that they may enter upon, and continue in this estate, in Thy Name. Replenish their hearts with Thy love, and enable them to be faithful one to the other, and thus to live together in perfect love and peace. Sanctify and bless their union ; vouch- safe unto them the guidance of Thy Holy Spirit, and teach them to do that which is well pleasing in Thy sight, through Jesus Christ, our Lord: Amen. H Here the Minister shall join their right hands, and say: In the Name of God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, I now join you together to live in holy wedlock, as husband and wife. What God hath joined together let not man put asunder. Receive ye the blessing of the Lord :- The Lord bless you, and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace: In the Name of Jesus: Amen, 42 Surtal I THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD I ^ The following may be used in the house of mourning, or in the church. If All standing, the Minister shall say and the congregation respond: O Lord our God, in Whom we live, and move, and have our being, Have mercy upon us. O Lord our God, Who turnest man to destruction; and sayest. Return, ye children of men. Be gracious unto us. O Lord our God, Who dost not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men. Bless and comfort us, we humbly pray. Holy Father, accept us as Thy children in Thy beloved Son, Jesus Christ, Who came forth from Thee, and came into the world, was made flesh, and dwelt among us, took on Him the form of a servant, and hath redeemed us lost and undone human creatures from all sin and from death, with His holy and precious blood, and with His innocent suffering and dying; to the end that we should be His own, and in His kingdom live under Him and serve Him, in eternal righteousness, innocence, and happiness ; forasmuch as He, being risen from the dead, liveth and reigneth, world without end: Amen. T[ Then shall the Minister say one, or more, of the following texts: Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down ; he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. As touching children, Jesus saith: Suffer little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not ; for of such is the kingdom of heaven. Thou Saviour of the world! So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. None of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself; for whether we live, we live unto the Lord, and whether we die, we die unto the Lord; whether we live therefore or die, we are the Lord's; for to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that He might be Lord both Of the dead and living. O Lord, what wait we for? our hope is in Thee. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him. For He knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust. The Lord raiseth them that are bowed down. He relieveth the fatherless and widow. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness unto children's children. 43 Sttpfi itf t\\t QII|itrrI| Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort, Who comforteth us in all our tribulation. The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away ; blessed be the Name of the Lord. Blessed be His glorious Name forever. 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. ^ Then there shall follow a hymn, a prayer, and a short discourse at the discretion of the Minister. At the grave, when all is ready for the committal, the Minister shall say, and the congregation respond: Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us. Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, hear us. Lord God, 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: for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever: Amen. Lord God, Son, Thou Saviour of the world, Be gracious unto us. By Thy human birth. By Thy prayers and tears, By all the troubles of Thy life, By the grief and anguish of Thy soul. By Thine agony and bloody sweat. By Thy bonds and scourgings. By Thy crown of thorns. By Thine ignominious crucifixion, By Thy sacred wounds and precious blood, By Thine atoning death. By Thy rest in the grave. By Thy glorious resurrection and ascension. By Thy sitting at the right hand of God, By Thy divine presence, 44 Mmml I By Thy coming again to Thy Church on earth, or our being called home to Thee, Bless and comfort us, gracious Lord and God. Lord God, Holy Ghost, Abide with us for ever. I am the Resurrection and the Life, saith the Lord; he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Therefore, blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, Who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. *i Then, while the body is committed to the grave, shall be sung one of the following stanzas: T. ESSLINGEN (14, A) Kymn, 859 Now to the earth let these remains In hope committed be. Until the body changed attains Blest immortality. or: The body here to rest we lay Within its silent bed, Till Jesus comes, at the last day, And earth gives up her dead. We poor sinners pray. Hear us, gracious Lord and God; And keep us in everlasting fellowship with the Church Triumphant, and let us rest together in Thy presence from our labors. Amen. Glory be to Him Who is the Resurrection and the Life, Who quickeneth us, while in this dying state, and, after we have obtained the true life, doth not suffer us to die any more. Glory be to Him in the Church which waiteth for Him, and in that which is around Him, for ever and ever. Amen. T. RHAW. (22, A) Hymn, 445 The Saviour's blood and righteousness My beauty is, my glorious dress; Thus well arrayed I need not fear. When in His presence I appear. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with us all. Amen. 45 mttB at tV CHllurrij THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD II H The following may be used in the house of mourning, or in the church. All standing, the Minister shall say and the congregation respond: Father Almighty, Creator, Ruler and Preserver of all men, Have mercy upon us. Lord God, Son, Thou Saviour from sin and death, Be gracious unto us. O Holy Spirit, Comforter Divine, Giver of life and peace, Grant us Thine abiding presence. Lord, make us to know our end, and the measure of our days, what it is; let us know how frail we are. So teach us to number our days that we may get us a heart of wisdom. Hear our prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto our cry; for we are strangers with Thee, sojourners, as all our fathers were. It is appointed unto men once to die, and after this cometh judgment. For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad. What is your life? For ye are a vapor that appeareth for a little time and then vanisheth away. There is no man that hath power over the spirit to r^ain the spirit; neither hath he power over the day of death. As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. Through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all have sinned. But God commendeth His own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. And He died for all, that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto Him Who for their sakes died and rose again. The loving-kindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness unto children's children. Bless the Lord, O my soul. 46 lurtal II •j The service may then be continued at the discretion of the Minister. *I At the grave, when all is ready for the committal, the Minister shall say, and the congregation respond: 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: for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. 5 A prayer may here be offered, at the discretion of the Minister, who shall continue: Forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God, in His wise providence, to take out of the world the soul of the departed, we therefore commit this body- to the tomb, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; looking for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come, through our Lord Jesus Christ. ^ Then shall the Minister say one or more of the following texts while the body is committed to the grave. [The dust returneth to the earth as it was, and the spirit returneth to God Who gave it. We brought nothing into the world, neither can we carry anything out. The Lord gave; the Lord hath taken away. Blessed be the Name of the Lord. The eternal God is thy dwelling-place, and underneath are the everlasting arms.] ^ After the committal, the Minister shall continue: If a man die, shall he live again? The hour cometh in which all that are in the tombs shall hear His voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil unto the resurrection of judgment. Jesus saith; I am the Resurrection and the Life; he that believeth on Me, though he die, yet shall he live. Verily, verily, I say unto you. He that heareth My word, and believeth Him that sent Me, hath eternal life, and cometh not into judgment, but hath passed out of death into life. And I heard a voice from heaven saying, Write: blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; for their works follow with them. There remaineth, therefore, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God. Let us fear, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into His rest, any one should seem to have come short of it. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort. Who comforteth us in all our affliction. 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. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. 47 fCtturgtral ^nmas for tl|?

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for He hath visited and redeemed His people, and hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David. As He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, who have been since the world began: That we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all that hate us: 48 Khnmt To perform the mercy promised unto the fathers, and to remember His holy covenant: That He would grant unto us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him, all the days of our life. T. ROCKINGHAM, OLD (22, G) Hytnn, 225 Voice — Choir — Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates.

They shall walk, O Lord, in the light of Thy countenance.

Behold your God will come and save you. He shall feed His Hock like a shepherd. He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom. T. WEST (582, C) Hymn, 117 O Saviour of our race, Welcome indeed Thou art, Blessed Redeemer, fount of grace, To this my longing heart! Therefore, rejoice in God, your Saviour! For He that is mighty, hath done great things, and holy is His Name. Through the tender mercy of our God, the Day-spring from on high hath visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet in the way of peace. 1 Here the children shall sing the Hosanna, Hymn, No. 940, or some other appropriate anthem; after which the congregation shall rise and sing the following hymn, and shall remain standing until the conclusion of the Liturgy. T. CASSELL (167, A) Hymn, 192 Hail, Thou long expected Jesus, Born Thy people to deliver. Bom to set Thy people free; Born a Child, and yet a King, From our fears and sins release us.

Bid her groans and travail cease; Let no harp remain unstrung; Let the glorious proclamation Let the mighty advent chorus Hope restore, and faith increase; Onward roll from tongue to tongue; Christ is coming; Christ is coming; Come, Thou blessed Prince of peace. Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come ! / believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. He went to the place of departed spirits. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy Christian Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Observant of His heavenly word, He shall his Lord with rapture see. And watchful at His gate. And be with honor crowned. Our Lord said unto His disciples: A little while and ye behold Me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see Me. Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrow- ful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. Ye now therefore have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you. Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Even so come, Lord Jesus. If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 51 T. REJOICE (151, I) Hymn, 102 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, thou Sun so longed for! O'er this benighted sphere; With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption, That brings us unto Thee. Behold, the Lord will come as a mighty One, and His arm will rule for Him: behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him. Behold, I send My Messenger, saith Jehovah, and He shall prepare the way before Me; and the Lord, Whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His temple: and the Messenger of the Covenant, Whom ye desire. Behold the day cometh, it burneth as a furnace; and all the proud, and all that work wickedness, shall be as stubble. But unto you that fear My Name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise, with healing in His wings. For the Lord will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, to judge both the living and the dead. The hour cometh, in the which all that are in the tombs shall hear His voice, and shall come forth to judgment. Then shall He sit on the throne of His glory, and all the angels with Him, and before Him shall be gathered all the nations. But who can abide the day of His coming? And who shall stand when He appeareth? T. RHAW (22, A) Hymn, 445 The Saviour's blood and righteousness In Him I trust for evermore; My beauty is, my glorious dress; He hath expunged the dreadful score Thus well arrayed, I need not fear. Of all my guilt; this done away. When in His presence I appear. I need not fear the judgment-day. So then, let us not sleep, but let us watch and be sober, putting on the breast-plate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. For God appointed us not unto wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live to- gether with Him. Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not. Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if He shall be manifested, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him even as He is. And every one that hath this hope set on Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure. % Here shall the congregation rise and remain standing until the conclusion of the Liturgy. T. SUABIA (582, K) Hymn, 613 When He who is our life Like Him we then shall be, Appears, to take the throne, Transformed and glorified; We too shall be revealed, and shine For we shall see Him as He is. In glory, like His own. And in His light abide. 52 (fHirtBtmaH iag By Thine atoning death, By Thy rest in the grave, By Thy glorious resurrection and ascension. By Thy sitting at the right hand of God, By Thy sending the Holy Ghost, By Thy prevailing intercession. By the holy sacraments. By Thy divine presence. By Thy coming again to Thy Church on earth, or our being called home to Thee, Bless and comfort us, gracious Lord and God. And now, abide in Him; that, if He shall be manifested, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. The very God of peace sanctify you wholly ; and I pray God your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

ANTIOCH Hymn, 160 Joy to the world, the Lord is come; Joy to the earth, the Saviour reigns; Let earth receive her King; Let men their songs employ; Let every heart prepare Him room, While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains And heaven and nature sing. Repeat the sounding joy. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. Holy, holy, holy is God the Lord, the Almighty, Who was, and is, and is to come. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and they that were His beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. For the law was given by Moses, But grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No man hath seen God at any time ; The only begotten Son, Who is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to 53 (UltrtBtmaB Sag them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name: who were bom, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. He upholdeth all things by the word of His power, being the brightness of God's glory, and the express image of His person. T. WEST (582, C) Hymn, 117 O Saviour of our race, Light of the world, abide Welcome indeed Thou art Through faith within my heart: Blessed Redeemer, Fount of grace, Leave me to seek no other guide. To this my longing heart. Nor e'er from Thee depart. Thou art the Life, O Lord! Sole Light of Life Thou art! Let not Thy glorious rays be poured In vain on my dark heart. H Here shall all chant, or say, the Gloria in Excelsis. Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace, good will toward men. We praise Thee, we bless Thee, we worship Thee, we glorify Thee, we give thanks to Thee for Thy great glory. O Lord God, Heavenly King, God the Father Almighty: O Lord, the Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ; O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father, have mercy upon us. For Thou only art holy; Thou only art the Lord; Thou only, O Christ, with the Holy Ghost, art most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen. U Here shall the congregation be seated. T.

True Godhead incarnate, omnipotent Word! O come, let us hasten, to worship the Lord! Glory be to Thee, Lord God our Father, Thou Father of mercies, and God of all comfort, In that Thou hast chosen us in Jesus Christ, our Lord, before the foundation of the world. Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God. 54 Eptpljanij Thou hast blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. Thou hast delivered us from the power of darkness, and hast translated us into the kingdom of Thy dear Son. In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; He is the true God, and eternal life. By Himself hath He reconciled all things unto Himself, whether they be things on earth, or things in heaven. O Thou, Who art the one God and Father of all, and Who hast adopted us as children in Jesus Christ, Thy Son, in Whom we have redemption, even the forgiveness of our sins, quicken us, we beseech Thee, who have been dead in trespasses and sins. For the sake of that great love wherewith Thou hast loved us, make us to live in Christ our Lord. O Immanuel, Thou Saviour of the world, Manifest Thyself to us. By Thy holy incarnation. By Thy human birth. By Thy pure and gracious childhood. By Thine obedience and diligence, By Thy humility, meekness, and patience, By Thine extreme poverty, By Thy griefs and sorrows. By Thy prayers and tears, By Thy having been despised and rejected, By Thy cross and passion, By Thy death and burial. By Thy glorious resurrection and ascension, Help us and save us.

Be gracious unto us. Lord God, Holy Ghost, Abide with us for ever. T. ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR (205, F) Hymn, 861 From the vast and veiled throng, Blend, ye raptured songs, in one, Round the Father's heavenly throne. Men redeemed, your Father own; Swells the everlasting song : Angels, worship ye the Son : Glory be to God alone ! Glory be to God alone ! Round Immanuel's cross of pain Spirit, 'tis within Thy light, Mortal men, in tribes unknown. Streaming far from cross and throne, Sing to Him Who once was slain : Earth and heaven their songs unite : Glory be to God alone! Glory be to God alone! If Here shall the congregation be seated. When He hath made His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed. He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied: by His knowledge shall Thy righteous servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong: because He hath poured out His soul unto death. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name; that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. T. MISSIONARY (151, O) Hymn, 341 Arabia's desert ranger Kings shall fall down before Him, To Him shall bow the knee; And gold and incense bring; The Ethiopian stranger All nations shall adore Him, His glory come to see: His praise all people sing: With offerings of devotion For He shall have dominion Ships from the isles shall meet. O'er river, sea and shore. To pour the wealth of ocean Far as the eagle's pinion. In tribute at His feet. Or dove's light wing, can soar. How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things. Their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the end of the earth. The Lord gave the word: Great was the company of those that published it. 56 Eptpltang Lift up your eyes, and look upon the fields, for they are white ali'eady to harvest. The harvest truly is plenteous but the laborers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that He would send forth laborers into His harvest. Thus saith the Lord, I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jeru- salem, who shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves to- gether, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. Surely the isles shall wait for Me, saith the Lord of Sabaoth, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the Name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because He hath glorified thee. T. PLEYEL'S HYMN (11, T) Hark, the distant isles proclaim Glory to Messiah's Name; Hymns of praise, unheard before. Echo from the farthest shore. Hymn, 626 Hearts, that once were taught to own Idol gods of wood and stone, Now to light and life restored, Honor Jesus as their Lord. Behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Arise, shine: for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. T. JUDGMENT (585, A) Yes, we trust the day is breaking, Joyful times are near at hand ; God, the mighty God, is speaking By His word, in every land: Mark His progress, Darkness flies at His command. Hymn, 364 While the foe becomes more daring, While he "enters like a flood," God the Saviour is preparing Means to spread His truth abroad; Every language Soon shall tell the love of God. Bless our and all other Christian congregations gathered from among the heathen; keep them as the apple of Thine eye. Let them be a light unto them who sit in darkness and in the region and shadow of death. Have mercy on Thy ancient covenant people; deliver them from their blindness. Oh that Ishmael might live before Thee! Hear us, gracious Lord and God: T. WEST (582, C) Hymn, 117 Send Thou Thy servants forth, To call the Hebrews home; From west and east, from south and north. Let all the wanderers come. With Israel's myriads sealed, Let all the nations meet; And show Thy mystery fulfilled, Thy family complete. 57 Hfttf 1 All standing until the conclusion of the Liturgy, the Minister and congregation shall pray: Thou light and desire of all nations, Watch over Thy messengers both by land and sea; Accompany the word of their testimony concerning Thy atonement with demonstration of the Spirit and of power. Thou knowest where they dwell, and wherein they labor; and that they are keeping the word of Thy patience. In the hour of temptation do Thou keep them; and let Thy holy Name be named upon them: preserve them in times of danger and distress. Let them find comfort in the fellowship and intercessions of the churches, which have sent them forth in obedience to Thy call. May the fire of Thy love awaken and preserve amongst us the spirit of the great cloud of witnesses, who loved not their life unto the death. Bless us all, both them and us, and make of us a blessing. Amen. T. JUDGMENT (585, A) Hymn, 364 When exposed to fearful dangers, Jesus will His own defend; Borne afar 'mid foes and strangers, Jesus will appear your Friend, And His presence Shall be with you to the end. Behold, a great multitude, whom no man can number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, who are before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands, saying. Salvation to our God Who sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. font H All standing, the Minister shall say and the congregation respond: O Thou Lamb of God, Which takest away the sin of the world, Give unto us Thy peace. Lord God, our FATHER in heaven, Thou hast manifested Thy great love toward us, because that Thou hast sent Thy Son into the world to be the propitiation for our sins. We give Thee thanks, that Thou hast made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light, having delivered us from the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of Thy dear Son: In Whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins. T. ROCKINGHAM, OLD (22, G) Hymn, 225 Choir— All- Give to our God immortal praise; He sent His Son with power to save Mercy and truth are all His ways: From guilt, from darkness, and the grave: Wonders of grace to God belong. Wonders of grace to God belong. Repeat His mercies in your song. Repeat His mercies in your song. 58 Lord God, SON, Thou Saviour of the world, forasmuch as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, Thou didst also Thyself likewise take part of the same, that through death Thou mightest destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. Thou wast in all things made like unto Thy brethren, that Thou mightest be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. Thou wast despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Thou wast wounded for our transgressions; Thou wast bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement of our peace was upon Thee; and with Thy stripes are we healed. T. PRAGUE (22, D) Hymn, 185 Maker of all things, Lord our God, What heights, what depths of love divine Now veiled in feeble flesh and blood, In Thy blest incarnation shine! To reconcile and set us free Let heaven and earth unite their lays. From endless woe and misery; To magnify Thy boundless grace. Lord God, HOLY GHOST, Thou didst descend and abide upon Him; Thou didst anoint Him to preach the gospel to the poor; to heal the brokenhearted; to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind; to set at liberty them that are bruised; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. 1 Here sha!l the congregation be seated. T. LA TROBE (581, A) Hymn, 204 Choir— All— Now with angels round the throne, Blessing, honor, glory, might. Cherubim and seraphim. And dominion infinite, And the Church which still is one, To the Father of our Lord, Let us swell the solemn hymn: To the Spirit and the Word, Glory to the great I Am! As it was all worlds before, Glory to the slaughtered Lamb! Is, and shall be evermore. From the sin of unbelief. From all defilement of the flesh and spirit. From all self-righteousness. From every neglect of our duty, From ingratitude and selfishness, From lukewarmness, From all indifference to Thy meritorious life and death. Deliver us gracious Lord and God. r. PASSION CHORALE (151, A) Hymn, 215 What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For all Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end! Oh, should I leave Thee ever, Then do not Thou leave me; Lord, let me never, never. Outlive my love to Thee. 59 Sfttt By Thy holy incarnation and birth; Thine early exile; Thy pure and blameless childhood; Thy willing obedience; Thy humility, meekness, and patience; Thy faithfulness in Thine earthly calling; Thy perfect life before God and man. Help us, O Christ, to dedicate both soul and body to Thy service. Thy tears and agony, Thy crown of thorns and cross, Lead us to repentance for our sins. By Thy willing sacrifice of Thyself even unto death, Make known to us the mystery of Thy love. Into Thine open arms stretched out upon the cross. Receive us all. r. RATHBUN In the Cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. When the woes of life o'ertake me, Hopes deceive, and fears annoy, Never shall the Cross forsake me; Lo, it glows with peace and joy. Hymn, 197 When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way, From the Cross the radiance streaming Adds more lustre to the day. Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure. By the Cross are sanctified; Peace is there, that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide. U Here shall the congregation rise and remain standing until the conclusion of the Liturgy. By all Thy sacred wounds and precious blood. By Thine innocent suffering and dying, By Thy rest in the grave, By Thy glorious resurrection and ascension, Bless us and save us, O Christ, our Redeemer. Fulfill in us Thy prayer, that all who love Thee may be one, as Thou art in the Father, and the Father in Thee. Hear us and help us, gracious Saviour. Thou hast declared unto us the Father's Name, that the love wherewith He hath loved Thee may be in us. And Thou in us. Christ, and Him Crucified, Remain our confession of faith. T. EISLEBEN (519.

AURELIA (151, L) Hymn, 260 The day of resurrection, Our hearts be pure from evil, Earth, tell it out abroad: That we may see aright The Passover of gladness, The Lord in rays eternal The Passover of God. Of resurrection-light; From death to life eternal, And, listening to His accents, From earth unto the sky, May hear, so calm and plain, Our Christ hath brought us over. His own, "All hail!" and, hearing, With hymns of victory. May raise the victor-strain. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who, according to His abundant mercy, hath begotten us again unto a Hvely hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead ; — unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved for us in heaven. Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, for ever and ever. He was delivered for our offenses: And viras raised again for our justification. Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that just ifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died; yea rather, that is risen again; Who is even at the right hand of God, Who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or dis- tress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors, through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principal- ities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord. T. LUX EOI (167, H) Hymn, 233 Choir — Voice — Hallelujah! hallelujah! He, Who on the Cross a Victim Hearts to heaven and voices raise; For the world's salvation bled, Sing to God a hymn of gladness, Jesus Christ, the King of glory. Sing to God a hymn of praise; Now is risen from the dead. All — Christ is risen, Christ the first-fruits Of the holy harvest field, Which will all its full abundance. At His second coming yield; Then the golden ears of harvest Will their heads before Him wave. Ripened by His glorious sunshine From the furrows of the grave. 1 Here shall the congregation be seated. 61 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affections on things above, and not on things on the earth. Like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the ^lory of the Father, even so let us walk in newness of life. For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself; for whether we live, we live unto the Lord, and whether we die, we die unto the Lord; Whether we live, therefore, or die, we are the Lord's: for to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that He might be Lord both of the dead and living. As we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. It is sown in corruption. It is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonor. It is raised in glory: It is sown in weakness. It is raised in power: It is sown a natural body. It is raised a spiritual body. Brethren, I would not have you to be ignorant concerning them who are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him. 1[ The congregation shall rise at the second stanza of the following hymn and remain standing until the con- clusion of the Liturgy. T. INNSBRUCH (79, A) Hymn, 411 Choir— All- Children of God, look up and see His Church is still his joy and crown, Your Saviour, clothed with majesty, He looks with love and pity down Triumphant o'er the tomb: On her He did redeem: Cease, cease to grieve, cast off your fears, The members of that Church He knows. In heaven your mansions He prepares. He shares their joys and feels their woes, And soon will come to take you home. And they shall ever reign with Him. Glory be to Him Who is the Resurrection and the Life, even Jesus Christ our Lord, the Faithful and the True Witness, the first-born from among the dead, the Prince of the kings of the earth. For the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ: And He shall reign for ever and ever, King of kings and Lord of lords. Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ: To Whom be glory for ever and ever: Amen. 62 AarntBtnn Say 1[ All, standing, unite in singing: T. INNOCENTS (11, M) Hymn, 162 Hail the day that sees Him rise, Him though highest heaven receives, Glorious to His native skies ! Still He loves the earth He leaves. Christ, awhile to mortals given, Though returning to His throne, Re-ascends His native heaven. Still He calls mankind His own. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will conne in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; yea, lift them up ye everlasting doors; And the King of glory will come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of Hosts, He is the King of glory. The Lord hath prepared His throne in the heavens, And His Kingdom ruleth over all. Bless the Lord, ye His angels, that excel in strength, that do His commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His word. Bless ye the Lord, all ye His hosts; ye ministers of His, that do His pleasure. Bless the Lord, all His works, in all places of His dominion: Bless the Lord, O my soul. Unto Him that loveth us and loosed us from our sins by His blood, and He made us to be a Kingdom, to be priests unto His God and Father; To Him be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. T. JUDGMENT (585, A) Hymn, 364 Crown the Saviour, angels, crown Him! Rich the trophies Jesus brings; In the seat of power enthrone Him, While the heavenly concave rings. Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown the Saviour "Kings of kings." The Father of glory hath raised Christ from the dead, and made Him to sit at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come, and He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the Church, which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all. % The congregation shall here unite in saying the Tersanctus. Therefore with angels and archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify Thy glorious Name: evermore praising Thee, and saying, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts, heaven and earth are full of Thy glory: glory be to Thee, O Lord Most High. Amen. 63 Afir^ttstan ia^ T. FREYLINGHAUSEN (341, A) Hymn, 126 Above the starry sky Thou reign'st, enthroned on high; Prostrate at Thy feet we fall; Power supreme to Thee is given, As the righteous Judge of all Sons of earth and hosts of heaven. 1[ Here shall the congregation be seated. Through His own blood He entered in once for all into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption, now to appear before the face of God for us. Wherefore, also, He is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through Him, seeing He ever liveth to make inter- cession for them. Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea, rather, that vi^as raised from the dead. Who is at the right hand of God, Who also maketh intercession for us. T. EISENACH (90, A) Hymn, 140 By faith we claim Him as our own, Our Kinsman near allied in blood, Flesh of our flesh, bone of our bone, The Son of man, the Son of God; We to His mercy-seat draw nigh; He never can Himself deny. Jesus said: In My Father's house are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. // then we vi^ere raised together with Christ, let us seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. Fear not, saith the Lord, I am the first and the last and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with Me in My throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with My Father in His throne. Thanks be to God, Who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if He shall be manifested, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him even as He is. And every one that hath this hope set on Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure. 64 Asr^tiHuin iag 1 Here shall the congregation rise and sing: T. ST. EDITH (151, Q) Hymn. 269 That we should look, poor wanderers, To have our home on high ! Or mortals seek for dwellings Beyond the starry sky! And now we fight the battle. But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown. Lift up your hearts. We lift them up unto the Lord. O Christ, Thou Saviour of the world, Own us to be Thine. By all the merits of Thy life, sufferings, death and resurrection, Bless us, gracious Lord and God. As Thou wast raised from the dead. May we also walk in newness of life. As Thou didst ascend into heaven, May we set our minds on things above. As Thou sittest on the throne. May we be confident of final triumph. As Thou makest intercession for us, May we rejoice in forgiveness and peace. As angels honor Thee in heaven. May every tongue on earth confess Thy Name. And when we see Thee face to face, May we share Thy glory. T. CASSELL (167, A) Hymn io2 Thou hast raised our human nature. On the clouds to God's right hand.

GOUDIMEL (205, A) Hymn, 111 Hail the joyful day's return, Hail the Pentecostal morn, Mom when our ascended Head On His Church the Spirit shed. Like to cloven tongues of flame. On the twelve the Spirit came; Tongues, that earth may hear the call; Fire, that love may burn in all. Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness! Let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation; and let righteousness spring up together. Thou, O Lord, hast created it: Hallelujah! O God, when Thou wentest forth before Thy people, when Thou didst march through the wilderness, the earth shook, the heavens also dropped, even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel. But now, O God, Thou dost send a gracious rain, and dost confirm Thine inheritance that is weary. Thou hast prepared of Thy goodness for the poor. The heavens shall praise Thy wonders, O Lord, Thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. Let us praise the Lord! T.

Thus saith the Lord: It shall come to pass that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh, that whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look upon Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourneth for his only son. 66 Mi|ttsunbag T.

Only may the ages olden Call the Comforter their own? -Wonders we may not inherit. Signs and tongues we may not crave, Yet we still receive the Spirit, Still the Comforter we have. John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Except we are born of water and of the Spirit, we cannot see the kingdom of God. And Christ said: It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you: but if I depart, I will send Him unto you. T. ST.

If loss of Jesus can be gain. So long as we have Thee. And now hath the Father sent the Comforter, even the Spirit of truth, to convince the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. Ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. // we have not the Spirit of Christ, we are none of His. If Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in us. He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken our mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in us. And hereby we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit Whom He hath given us.

O Thou most gracious Comforter, Who helpest our infirmities, and makest intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered, we worship Thee with grateful hearts.

BEECHER Hymn, 490 Finish then Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be; Let us see Thy great salvation, Perfectly restored in Thee, Changed from glory into glory Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Thou bestowest diversities of gifts, and workest all in all, dividing unto every man severally as Thou wilt. Thou sheddest abroad in our hearts the love of God, and makest our bodies Thy holy temple. Thou takest away the stony heart, and givest us an heart of flesh, that we may walk in the Lord's statutes and keep His ordinances. Thou bear est witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and teachest us to cry, Abba, Father. O Spirit of grace, direct our hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ; and grant unto us an unction from the Holy One.

And mocked the cross and flame. Hymn, 586 They met the tyrant's brandished steel, The lion's gory mane; They bowed their necks the death to feel: ^A^o follows in their train?

Through peril, toil and pain: O God! to us may grace be given To follow in their train! Behold, a great multitude, which no man can number, out of every nation and of all tribes and people and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands; And they cry with a great voice, saying: Salvation unto our God who sitteth on the throne, and unto the Lamb. Who are these in white robes arrayed, and whence came they? These are they of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts, and mountains, and caves, and the holes of the earth. They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword, they were burned at the stake. They were destitute, afflicted, ill-treated. These are they that come out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in His temple. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun strike upon them, nor any heat; for the Lamb that is in the midst of the throne shall be their Shepherd, and shall guide them unto fountains of waters of life. And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes. T. SARUM (58, E) Hymn, 740 For all Thy saints, who from their labors rest. Who Thee by faith before the world confessed.

He casteth forth His ice like morsels: who can stand before His cold? He sendeth forth His word and melteth them: He causeth His wind to blow, and the waters flow. He prepareth rain for the earth, and maketh it soft with showers, and blesseth the springing thereof. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herbs for the service of man, that He may bring forth food out of the earth.

He shall see of the travail of His soul.

PARK STREET (22, S) Hymn, 889 Great God of nations, now to Thee Thy Name we bless, Almighty God, Our hymn of gratitude we raise; For all the kindness Thou hast shown That Thou hast made this Nation free, To this fair land, by pilgrims trod, We offer Thee our song of praise. This land we fondly call our own. We praise Thee, that the gospel's light Through all our land its radiance sheds, Dispels the shades of error's night. And heavenly blessings round us spreads. Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; Praise thy God, O Zion. For He hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee. He maketh peace in thy borders: He fillet h thee with the finest of the wheat. He showeth His word unto Jacob, His statutes and His ordinances unto Israel. He hath not dealt so with any nation: And as for His ordinances, they have not known them. Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy Name give glory, For Thy loving- kindness, and for Thy truth's sake. Wherefore should the nations say, Where is now their God? But our God is in the heavens; He hath done whatsoever He pleased. His loving-kindness is great toward us; and the truth of the Lord endureth forever. Praise ye the Lord. 79 Patrtotfr Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are accounted as the small dust of the balance: behold. He taketh up the isles as a very little thing: and Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering. Praise ye the Lord. Let the living know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever He will. The Lord bringeth the counsel of the nations to nought; He maketh the thoughts of the people to be of no effect. The counsel of the Lord standeth fast forever, the thought of His heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance. Yea, happy is the people whose God is the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. T. ST. MATTHEW (590, B) Hymn, 230 Great King of nations, hear our prayer When dangers, like a stormy sea, While at Thy feet we fall, Beset our country round. And humbly, with united cry, To Thee we looked, to Thee we cried, To Thee for mercy call. And help in Thee we found. Our fathers' sins were manifold. With pitying eye behold our need And ours no less we own; As thus we lift our prayer; Yet wondrously, from age to age, Correct us with Thy judgments, Lord, Thy goodness hath been shown. Then let Thy mercy spare. % Here the congregation shall kneel in prayer. Almighty God, Thou Who art Ruler of Nations and to Whose gracious Providence we owe the manifold blessings of our land, We worship Thee with grateful hearts. We confess that, in many things, we have departed from Thy precepts and from Thy judgments, and that it is of Thy mercies that we are not consumed. To the Lord belong mercies and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him; neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us. Lord, have mercy upon us, and pardon our transgressions. Bless the President of the United States and both Houses of Congress, the Governor and Legislature of this Commonwealth, and all others that are in authority. Protect them from violence, and fill the hearts of the people with reverence and love for those who, as the ministers of God, have been set for the punishment of evil-doers and the praise of them that do well. Raise up for us shepherds that shall perform Thy pleasure, who, in patience and forti- tude, shall stay themselves upon their God. Save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance. Make of this nation a chosen instrument for the promotion of peace, freedom and righteousness. May it be a haven for the oppressed of other 80 Patrtnttr lands, a home of happiness for all who dwell within its borders; and may our heritage of liberty be preserved unimpaired for the generations to come. Hear us, gracious Lord and God. Safeguard, we beseech Thee, Thy holy day of rest and the sacred institution of the home ; grant that all who are employed in the education of youth may recognize that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom ; and turn Thou the hearts of the people unto Thee that they may seek eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Hear us, gracious Lord and God. Grant unto those who are of the household of faith, wisdom, that, as citizens of the Commonwealth, they may adorn the Gospel in all their works. Enable them to submit to every ordinance of man for Thy sake, ready unto every good work, abstaining from every form of evil and rendering unto all their dues. Hear us, gracious Lord and God. Grant unto the people of this and all other lands a love of peace, and hasten the day when nations shall learn war no more, and that greater day when the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign for ever and ever. Hear us, gracious Lord and God. ^ Here shall the congregation rise and remain standing until the conclusion of the Liturgy. T. MANOAH C. M. Hymn, 870 Lord of the nations, thus to Thee Our country we commend; Be Thou her Refuge and her Trust, Her everlasting Friend. Now, therefore, saith the Lord, if ye will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then ye shall be Mine own possession ; and ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. All that the Lord hath spoken we will do. Then shall ye dwell in your land safely, saith the Lord, and I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down and none shall make you afraid, and I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be My people. 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. T. ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR (205, F) Hymn, 879 Swell the anthem, raise the song; Here, beneath a virtuous sway Praises to our God belong; May we cheerfully obey; Saints and angels join to sing Never feel oppression's rod. Praises to the heavenly King. Ever own and worship God. Blessings from His liberal hand Hark, the voice of nature sings Flow around this happy land; Praises to the King of kings; Kept by Him, no foes annoy; Let us join the choral song, Peace and freedom we enjoy.

O gracious God, Who wouldst have all men to come to a knowledge of Thyself: We remember before Thee, on this day, the various institutions of learning in our land. Guide, direct and enlighten them by Thy Holy Spirit. Inspire them to pursue the ideals commended in the Scriptures: To know wisdom and instruction ; To discern the words of understanding ; 82 3F0r i>rl|0nlfi nnh (Bolk^tB To receive instruction in wise dealing; In righteousness and justice and equity; To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion; That the wise man may hear and increase in learning; And that the man of understanding may attain unto sound counsels. Hear us, gracious Lord and God. We pray for the enterprises of the Church established for the instruction, training and care of the young, in this and other lands, its schools and seminaries, its academies and colleges, and for the educational work of the missions, carried on in behalf of those peoples unto whom Thou hast called us to minister. Attend with success the labors of all who are engaged in this service. Give to our Trustees and Directors the wisdom which so great a work demands. Lead our teachers to regard their work as a divine calling. Give to all instructors diligence in acquiring and skill in imparting useful knowledge; and when, in weakness of flesh and spirit, the workers be tempted to doubt and discouragement, do Thou comfort and strengthen them, we humbly pray. Hear us, and help us, we beseech Thee. We commend unto Thee the children and youth of our homes and schools. Arouse them to diligence in the morninig of life. Inspire them with the spirit of honor and reverence. Keep them in purity and health. Do Thou guide them: In the search of the Scriptures, In the study of Thy wondrous works. In the pursuit of truth. In all their thoughts, words and deeds; and may the example of their Saviour In His innocent childhood and youth, In His willing obedience, In His unselfish service of His fellowmen. In His perfect pattern in life and death, be their constant inspiration. Hear our prayer, O Lord. 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: for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever: Amen. K Here shall the congregation rise. T.DUKE STREET (22, Q) Hymn, 272 Lord of all being ; throned afar, Lord of all life, below, above, Thy glory flames from sun and star; Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love, Center and soul of every sphere, Before Thy ever blazing throne Yet to each loving heart how near! We ask no luster of our own. Grant us Thy truth to make us free, And kindling hearts that bum for Thee, Till all Thy living altars claim One holy light, one heavenly flame ! 83 A iag nf Bumtltatton anb J^rag^r U All standing, the Minister shall say and the congregation respond: Lord, have mercy upon us.

CASSELL (167, A) _ Hymn, 192 Dread Jehovah, God of nations, From Thy temple in the skies Hear Thy people's supplications, Now for their deliverance rise ! Lo, with deep contrition turning, Humbly at Thy feet we bend : Hear us, fasting, praying, mourning, Hear us, spare us, and defend. T. ST. MARK (151, G) Hymn, 149 Hast Thou Thy loving-kindness Shut up in endless wrath? No; this is our own blindness. That cannot see Thy path. We call to recollection The years of Thy right hand; And, strong in Thy protection. Again through faith we stand. Thus saith the High and Lofty One, that inhabiteth eternity, Whose Name is Holy: Return, ye backsliding children; and I will not cause Mine anger to fall upon you : for I am merciful, and I will not keep anger for ever. Only acknowledge your iniquity, that ye have transgressed against the Lord your God. We acknowledge our transgression: and our sin is ever before us. Against Thee, Thee only, have we sinned, and done this evil in Thy sight: that Thou mightest be justified when Thou speakest, and be clear when Thou judgest. Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. O Lord, the great and dreadful God, we have sinned and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from Thy precepts and from Thy judgments: wherefore we abhor ourselves, and repent in dust and ashes. T. AYLESBURY (582, A) Hymn, 202 Choir — But whither should we go, Burden'd, and sick, and faint? To whom should we our trouble show. And pour out our complaint? T. FEDERAL STREET (22, Z) Hymn, 84 All — This, Lord, our comfort is alone, And thus we come, O God, to-day. That we may meet before Thy throne, And all our woes before Thee lay; And cry, O faithful God, to Thee For tried, afflicted, lo! we stand, For rescue from our misery. Peril and foes on every hand. 84 A Sag of l^umtltatton nnh Prapr H Here shall all kneel, and the Minister shall continue, the congregation responding: If Thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? Our iniquities are gone over our heads; as an heavy burden they are too heavy for us. Enter not into judgment with Thy servants; for in Thy sight shall no man living be justified. We do not present our supplications before Thee for our righteousnesses, but for Thy great mercies. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy loving kindness: According unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity. And cleanse me from my sin, Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snovy. Hide Thy face from my sins. And blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renev^^ a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence; And take not Thy Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; And uphold me with Thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; And sinners shall be converted unto Thee. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God: And my tongue shall sing aloud of Thy righteousness. O Lord, open Thou my lips; And my mouth shall shew forth Thy praise. For Thou desirest not sacrifice; Else would I give it. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: A broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise. Amen. 1[ Here shall the congregation be seated. T. HAMBURG (22, P) Hymn, 315 See, we repent, we weep, we mourn; We plead Thy grace, indulgent God; To our forsaken God return; We plead Thy Son's atoning blood; O spare our guilty country, spare We plead Thy gracious promises; The Church which Thou hast planted here. And are they unavailing pleas? 85 A iay of ^umtltatiutt m\h Prayer O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord. I am the Lord thy God, Who teach eth thee to profit, Who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. O that thou hadst hearkened to My commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea. Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. T. CONFESSION (39, A) Hymn. 312 Choir — O turn ye, O turn ye, for why will ye die, When God in great mercy is coming so nigh? Now Jesus invites you; the Spirit says, "Come!" And angels are waiting to welcome you home. T. MARENZO (146, A) Hymn, 122 All — Therefore, though void of good Defiled by sin and stained. Yet bought with Jesus' blood, Who our salvation gained, We sinners, vile and poor, Appear before Thy face. Most humbly Thee adore, And pray for peace and grace. Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance: feed them also who are the Church of God, which Thou hast purchased with Thine own blood. Return, we beseech Thee, O God of hosts; look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; and the vineyard which Thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that Thou madest strong for Thyself. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. The gates of hell shall not prevail against My Church. Because thou hast kept the word of My patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. If All, standing, unite in singing: T.

God, thine everlasting light. T. GRACEHAM (581, K) Hymn, 434 All — What our Father does is well; Though He sadden hill and dell, Upward yet our praises rise For the strength His Word supplies.

T. HOLLINGSIDE (205, I) Hymn, 422 Saviour, when, in dust, to Thee, Low we bend the adoring knee; When, repentant, to the skies Scarce would we lift up our eyes; O, by all the pains and woe Suffered once for man below, Bending from Thy throne on high, Hear our solemn litany! Lord, hear my voice; let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. // Thou, Lord, shouldst mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared. / wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in His word do I hope. I am the Good Shepherd, saith the Lord; the Good Shepherd layeth down His life for the sheep. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me, and I give unto them eternal life. Thus saith the Shepherd of Israel, I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick. We have gone astray like lost sheep; O Lord, seek Thy servants. As many as I love, I reprove and chasten; be zealous, therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear My voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me. I am the Bread of Life; he that cometh to Me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst. T. HOLY LORD (119, A) Hymn, 3 Bread of Life, Christ, by Whom alone we live; Bread that came to us from heaven, My poor soul can never thrive Unless Thou appease its craving; Lord, I hunger only after Thee, Feed Thou me. ^ Here shall the congregation be seated. 87 i>prmrp Jpr^paratnrij tn tl|p ^ulg (Enmmunton Here may follow a Scripture lesson and an address, after which, all standing, the following hymn shall be sung.

UPSALA, II (23, B) Deeply moved and duly heeding My good Shepherd's kindly leading, Bowed with reverence before Him, I would praise Him and adore Him. Chants, page 171 Jesus, heed me, lost and dying, Unto Thee for shelter flying; All my sin and sorrow feeling, I now come for help and healing. Beloved, draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will exalt you. Confess, therefore, your sins one to another, and pray one for another. We will search our hearts and try our ways and turn again to the Lord. If any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous; and He is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world. If we confess our sins. He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We, therefore, draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help us in time of need. Jesus, our blessed Redeemer, has said: Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest; him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out. T. LACHRYMAE (253, C) Hymn, 300 While in penitence we kneel, Thy sweet presence let us feel, All Thy wondrous love reveal. From the bonds of sin release, Cold and wavering faith increase, Lamb of God, grant us Thy peace. IT Here shall the congregation kneel in prayer. Lord Jesus Christ, our only Mediator with God the Father, our mighty Saviour and our glorious King, we humbly bow before Thee and confess our manifold transgressions. We, Thy disciples, have oft in word and deed dishonored the holy name we bear, and have turned aside from that path of holiness and loving service, in which Thou hast called us to follow Thee. Pardon all our forgetfulness of Thy great love and our coldness of heart, our frequent conformity to the ways of the world, and our failure to labor for the extension of Thy kingdom. Have mercy upon us, according to Thy lovingkindness; hide Thy face from our sins and blot out all our iniquities. 88 Btrmtt Prfparalorg to ti|f l^nlg Olommunuin O Lord, our crucified, but now risen and ascended Redeemer, our trust is in the merits of Thy blood, shed for the remission of our sins ; let that precious blood cleanse us from all iniquity, and let the Holy Spirit sanctify us to Thy service. Hear us and help us, znost gracious Saviour. Grant us, through the communion of Thy Holy Supper, the assurance of our pardon, a greater power of sanctification, a closer union with Thyself, and the joyous expectation of eternal life in the heavenly Kingdom.

The God of peace, Who brought again from the dead the Great Shepherd of the sheep, with the blood of an eternal covenant, even our Lord Jesus, make you perfect in every good thing to do His will, working in you that which is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ: To Whom be the glory for ever and ever.

Compared to this, are vain and empty chaff: Yea, what this world can never give. May, through the Shepherd's grace, each needy sheep receive. Whoe'er would spend his days in lasting pleasure, Must come to Christ, and join His flock with speed; Here is a feast prepared, rich beyond measure; The world meanwhile on empty husks must feed: Those souls may share in every good, Whose Shepherd doth possess the treasuries of God.

Now hear me while I pray, Take all my guilt away, Oh, let me, from this day, Be wholly Thine. May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire; As Thou hast died for me, O, may my love to Thee Pure, warm and changeless be, A living fire.

Bishop Edward Henry Bickersteth, 1825-1906 (1852) 442 DUNDEE (FRENCH) CM. (14, P) 1 In evil long I took delight, Unawed by shame or fear. Till a new object struck my sight, And stopped my wild career. 2 I saw One hanging on a Tree, In agonies and blood, Who fixed His languid eyes on me. As near His Cross I stood. 3 Sure never till my latest breath Can I forget that look; It seemed to charge me with His death. Though not a word He spoke. 4 A second look He gave, which said, "I freely all forgive; This blood is for thy ransom paid, I die, that thou may'st live." 5 Thus, while His death my sin displays In all its blackest hue, Such is the mystery of grace, It seals my pardon too.
