and the HOLY GHOST, be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen. Then shall be said or sung, GLORY be to GOD on high, and in earth peace, good will towards 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 JESU 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, 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. Then the Priest (or Bishop if he be present) shall let them depart with this Blessing. THE peace of GOD, which passeth all under the knowledge and love of GOD, and of His SON JESUS CHRIST our LORD: and the bless ing of GOD Almighty, the FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY GHOST, be amongst you and remain with you always. Amen. Prayer after the Final Blessing. LORD, according to this blessing, so be it done unto me. I thank Thee that Thou hast permitted me to draw near before Thy Throne of grace. Regard not my unworthiness, supply my defects, pardon my want of love and devotion, and, of Thy mercy, accept at our hands this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Henceforth may I live as becometh Thy child, and in the strength that Thou bestoweth. Renew me day by day, and help me to persevere in all that is holy and good and true, and bring me at length to Thine eternal Kingdom, through JESUS CHRIST our LORD. And to Thee, O LORD our GOD, FATHER, SON, and HOLY SPIRIT, be honour and glory now and for ever. Amen. Hymn. JESU, gentlest SAVIOUR! GOD of might and power!

These Devotions may be used either after the reception of the Blessed Sacrament, or be added to the Office of Thanksgiving in the evening of the day of Communion. It is not expected that all these Prayers can be used, but some variety is offered to suit the needs of different souls. A Prayer to our LORD JESUS Christ. BEHOLD, LORD, I now have Thee, Who hast all things; I possess Thee, Who possessest all things, and canst do all things. May my heart be fixed on Thee alone, may my rest be in Thee alone, for in Thee is my treasure, in Thee is the sovereign Truth, true Happiness, and Everlasting Life. O LORD, let my soul feel the sweetness of Thy Presence, that, allured by love of Thee, it may seek for nothing wherein to rejoice out of Thee, for Thou art the joy of my heart, the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. Thou art the Physician of my soul, Who with Thine own stripes hast healed my sickness. I am that sick soul whom Thou camest from Heaven to heal; heal my soul, therefore, for I have sinned against Thee. Thou art the Good Shepherd, Who hast laid down Thy life for Thy sheep. Behold, I am that sheep that was lost, and yet Thou deignest to feed me with Thy Body and Blood. Lay me now upon Thy Shoulders, gather me in Thy Arms, and carry me in Thy Bosom. What wilt Thou deny me Who hast given Thyself unto me? O be Thou my Shepherd, and I shall lack nothing in the green pastures wherein Thou feedest me, until Thou bring me unto the pastures of Eternal Life. O Thou true Light, Which enlightenest every man that cometh into the world, lighten mine eyes, that I sleep not in death. O Fire, continually burning and never failing, behold how lukewarm and cold I am; O do Thou inflame my heart, that it may be warmed with the love of Thee. O my LORD and my GOD, behold, I am Thy servant, and the son of Thine handmaid; O give me understanding, and kindle my affection by the grace of Thy SPIRIT, Who is Comfort, Life, |
