Gospel to every creature; Grant to us whom Thou hast called into Thy Church a ready will to obey Thy word, and fill us with a hearty desire to make Thy way known upon earth, Thy saving health among all nations. Look with compassion upon the heathen that have not known Thee, and on the multitudes that are scattered abroad as sheep having no shepherd. O heavenly Father, Lord of the harvest, have respect, we beseech Thee, to our prayers, and send forth labourers into Thine harvest. Fit and prepare them by Thy grace for the work of their ministry; give them the spirit of power, and of love, and of a sound mind; strengthen them to endure hardness; and grant that both by their life and doctrine they may set forth Thy glory, and set forward the salvation of all men; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

INTO Thy merciful hands, O Lord, we commend ourselves, our souls and bodies, for Thou didst make and hast redeemed them, and together with us, all our relatives and friends, and all for whom we should pray. Thou keeper of Israel, who neither slumberest nor sleepest, guard us this night from all evil; let Thy holy angels encamp around us, and, if it be Thy will, grant us refreshing rest to fit us for the duties of another day; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O GOD of peace, who didst as on this day bring again from the dead our Lord Jesus Christ, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant; Make us perfect in every good work to do Thy will, working in us that which is pleasing in Thy sight;

through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with Thee and the Holy Ghost be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.

THE grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. Amen.

THE blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be upon us, and remain with us for ever. Amen.

MONDAY MORNING.

The Psalms or Lesson being ended, all standing, the Reader shall say :

V. O LORD, Open Thou our lips. R. And our mouth shall show forth Thy praise.

V. O God, make speed to save us.
R. O Lord, make haste to help us.

V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost:

R. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

LET US PRAY.

O ALMIGHTY GOD, who by Thy holy apostle has taught us to present our

bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto Thee; We draw nigh unto Thee in the name of Jesus Christ, and dedicate ourselves afresh to Thy service. Thou hast, in thy goodness, brought us safely to the beginning of another day; we pray Thee, therefore, be with Thy servants, who are now going forth to our work and our labour till the evening. Make us to be diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving Thee the Lord, and grant that we may both perceive and know what things we ought to do, and also may have grace and power faithfully to fulfil the same; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O LORD God Almighty, through whose most gracious favour we have been baptized into the death of Thy dear Son, that like as He died and
