S. B. may enjoy such refreshing sleep as may fit us B. A. for the duties of the following day. Make us 346 ever mindful of the time when we shall lie down in the dust; and grant us grace always to live in such a state, that we may never be afraid to die; so that, living or dying, we may be thine, through the merits and satisfaction of thy Son Jesus Christ, in whose Name we offer up these our imperfect prayers. Amen.

(f) Add the following alternative bene-
dictory Prayer:

THE Lord bless us and keep us: the Lord
make his face to shine upon us and be gra-
cious unto us: the Lord lift up his countenance
upon us; and give us peace both now and ever-
more. Amen.

(g) In the last rubric, substitute for the
words New Testament the words Holy
Scriptures, so that it will read as fol-
lows:-

On Sundays and on other days, when it may
be convenient, it will be proper to begin with
a Chapter, or part of a Chapter, from the
Holy Scriptures.

HOW

OW beautiful upon the mountains are the B. A. feet of him that bringeth good tidings: 347 that publisheth peace.

That bringeth good tidings of good; that
publisheth salvation: that saith unto Zion, Thy
God reigneth.

BEHOLD, I bring you good tidings of great
joy which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of
David: a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

LET us be glad and rejoice, and give thanks:
for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

Easter-day.

The same Anthems may also be used for
seven days after.

Rom. vi. 9, 10, 11. 1 Cor. v. 7, 8; xv. 20, 21, 22.

109 CHRIST our Passover is sacrificed for us:

therefore let us keep the feast;

Not with the old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness: but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

CHRIS

HRIST being raised from the dead, dieth no more: death hath no more dominion over him.

For in that he died, he died unto sin once: 348 but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin: but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

CHRIST is risen from the dead: and become

the first-fruits of them that slept.

For since by man came death: by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam all die: even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Psalm xlvii. 1, 2, 5, 6. Psalm xxiv. 7, 8, 9, 10.
CLAP your hands together, all ye people :
O sing unto God with the voice of melody.
For the LORD is high, and to be feared: he
is the great King upon all the earth.

LOD is gone up with a merry noise and the

GOD is

:

LORD with the sound of the trump.

O sing praises, sing praises unto our God:
O sing praises, sing praises unto our King.

LIFT up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye

lift up, ye everlasting doors: and the King of glory shall come in.

Who is the King of glory: It is the LORD strong and mighty, even the LORD mighty in battle.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors: and the King of glory shall come in.

Who is the King of glory: Even the LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory.

Whitsun-day.

Psalm xcv. 1, 2, 6. Rev. xxii. 17. COME, let us sing unto the LORD: let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation.

For the Spirit and the bride say, Come: And let him that is athirst come.

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving and show ourselves glad in him with psalms.

:

For the Spirit and the bride say, Come: And let him that is athirst come.

B. A.

349

S. B.

O come, let us worship and fall down: and B. A. kneel before the LORD our Maker.

And let him that is athirst come: and whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

HOLY

Trinity Sunday.

Rev. iv. 8, 11; v. 12, 13.

OLY, HOLY, HOLY, Lord God Almighty:
which was, and is, and is to come.

THOU art worthy, O Lord: to receive glory,

and honour, and power.

For thou hast created all things and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

WORTHY is the Lamb that was slain to re

ceive power, and wisdom, and strength: and honour, and glory, and blessing.

Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne: and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

Amen.
