TE DEUM.

WE praise thee, O God! we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.

All the earth doth worship thee, the Father everlasting. To thee all angels cry aloud, the heavens and all the powers therein.

To thee cherubim and seraphim continually do cry, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts.

Heaven and earth are full of the majesty of thy glory. The glorious company of the apostles, praise thee. The goodly fellowship of the prophets, praise thee.

The noble army of martyrs, praise thee.

The holy church, throughout all the world, doth acknowledge thee,

The Father of an infinite majesty;

The Creator and Preserver of the universe,

The God and Father of Jesus Christ our Savior,

The Enlightener and Sanctifier of men.

All happiness proceedeth from thee;

And to thee all gratitude and adoration are due.

MORNING SERVICE.

5

We bless thee for sending into the world thy beloved Son.

When thou gavest him to deliver man, it pleased thee that he should be born of a virgin.

When he had overcome the sharpness of death, he opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.

He sitteth at the right hand of God, in the glory of the Father.

We believe, that he shall come to be our judge.

We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, whom thou

hast redeemed through his most precious blood.

Make them to be numbered with thy saints, in glory everlasting.

O Lord, save thy people, and bless thine heritage. Govern them, and lift them up for ever.

Day by day we magnify thee;

And we worship thy name, ever, world without end. Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin. O Lord, have mercy upon us; have mercy upon us. O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, as our trust is in thee.

O Lord, in thee have we trusted; let us never be confounded.

ST. LUKE, i: 68.

BLESSED be the Lord | God of | Israel || for he hath | visited and re-l-deemed his | people;
