THE LORD'S PRAYER. 
 
 
 Our Father, which art in heaven, 
 hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom 
 come; thy will be done in earth as it 
 is in heaven ; give us this day our daily 
 bread ; and forgive us our debts, as we 
 forgive our debtors ; and lead us not 
 into temptation, but deliver us from 
 evil ; for thine is the kingdom, and the 
 power, and the glory, for ever. amen. 
 
THE 
 
 TEN COMMANDMENTS. 
 
 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out 
 of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 
 
 I. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 
 
 II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, 
 or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or 
 that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under 
 the earth : thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor 
 serve them : for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, 
 visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto 
 the third and fourth generation of them that hate me ; and 
 showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and 
 keep my commandments. 
 
 III. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God 
 in vain ; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that 
 taketh his name in vain. 
 
 IV. Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy ; six 
 days shalt thou labor and do all thy work ; but the 
 seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God : in it 
 thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy 
 daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor 
 thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates : for 
 in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and 
 all that in them is, and rested the seventh day; where- 
 fore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 
 
 V. Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days 
 may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God 
 giveth thee. 
 
 VI. Thou shalt not kill. 
 
 VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 
 
 VIII. Thou shalt not steal. 
 
 IX. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy 
 neighbor. 
 
 X. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou 
 shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, 
 nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing 
 that is thy neighbor's. 
 
THE CREED. 
 
 I 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 
 descended into hell :* The third day He rose 
 from the dead ; He ascended into heaven, 
 and sitteth on 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 Catholic 
 Church ; The Communion of Saints ; The 
 Forgiveness of Sin's ; the resurrection of 
 the body ; And the Life everlasting. Amen. 
 
 * That is, He continued in the state of the dead, and 
 under the power of death, for a time.

 I will praise Thee ;

 Though now as king He reigneth

 We'll flock around His banner,

 And cry aloud, " Hosanna 
 
 To David's royal Son."

 Our great Redeemer's praise, 
 The stones, our silence shaming, 
 
 Might well hosannas raise.

 ^ When the sun had left the skies, 
 
 Up in heaven the clear stars shining, 
 
 Through the gloom, like silver eyes ? 
 So, of old, the wise men, watching, 
 
 Saw a little stranger star; 
 And they knew the King was given, 
 
 And they followed it from far. 
 
 2 Heard ye never of the story, 
 
 How they crossed the desert wild, 
 Journeyed on by plain and mountain, 
 
 Till they found the Holy Child? 
 How they opened all their treasure, 
 
 Kneeling to that infant King, 
 Gave the gold and fragrant incense, 
 
 Gave the myrrh in offering ?

 Was the bright and morning star, 
 He who came to light the Gentiles, 
 
 And the darkened isles afar ? 
 And we too may seek His cradle, 
 
 There our hearts' best treasures bring,

 For our Saviour, God, and King.

 CALORY to Thee, my God, this night, 
 ^^ For all the blessings of the light ; 
 Keep me, oh, keep me, King of kings, 
 Beneath Thine own almighty wings. 
 
 2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son, 
 The ill that I this day have done ! 
 That with the world, myself, and Thee 
 I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. 
 
 3 Teach me to live, that I may dread 
 The grave as little as my bed ; 
 Teach me to die, that so I may 
 Rise glorious at the awful day. 
 
 4 Oh, may my soul on Thee repose, 
 
 And may sweet sleep my eyelids close, — 
 Sleep that shall me more vigorous make 
 To serve my God, when I awake. 
 
 5 When in the night I sleepless lie, 
 
 My soul with heavenly thoughts supply ; 
 Let no ill dreams disturb my rest, 
 No powers of darkness me molest.

 6 Oh, when shall I, in endless day, 
 Forever chase dark sleep away, 
 And hymns Divine with angels sing,

 Praise Him, all creatures here below ; 
 Praise Him above, ye angelic host ; 
 Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

 Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away :

 /^\NCE in royal^David's city 
 ^ Stood a lowly cattle shed, 
 Where a mother laid her Baby 
 
 In a manger for His bed : 
 Mary was that mother mild, 
 Jesus Christ her little Child. 
 
 2 He came down to earth from heaven 
 
 Who is God and Lord of all, 
 And His shelter was a stable, 
 
 And His cradle was a stall ; 
 With the poor, and mean, and lowly,, 
 Lived on earth our Saviour holy. 
 
 3 And, through all His wondrous childhood, 
 
 He would honor and obey, 
 Love, and watch the lowly maiden, 
 
 In whose gentle arms He lay ; 
 Christian children all must be 
 Mild, obedient, good as He. 
 
 4 For He is our childhood's Pattern ; 
 
 Day by day He, like us, grew ; 
 He was little, weak, and helpless, 
 
 Tears and smiles like us He knew : 
 And He feeleth for our sadness, 
 And He shareth in our gladness. 
 
 5 And our eyes at last shall see Him, 
 
 Through His own redeeming love, 
 For that Child, so dear and gentle, 
 
 Is our Lord in heaven above ; 
 And he leads His children on 
 To the place where He is gone. 
 
 6 Not in that poor lowly stable, 
 
 With the oxen standing by,

 Set on God's right hand on high. 
 Where like stars His children crowned 
 All in white shall wait around. Amen.

 For safe is our dear Shepherd's fold.

 For He Himself a child has been.

 That all on earth had need to be, 
 
 To bring them safely home.

 To Him who hath chased all the darkness

 My Father, my Friend, and my King. 
 Oh, bright Sun of Righteousness, shine upon

 Enlighten and gladden my face ; 
 The light of Thy countenance helps me to 
 see 
 Thy wonders of mercy and grace.

 A trustful and confident song ; 
 And while I am singing I'll hopefully pray 
 
 For mercy to lead me along :

 When troubles and sorrows distress ; 
 I'll pray for His presence, my footsteps to 
 guide, 
 To comfort, to cheer, and to bless.

 That firm remains on high 
 The everlasting throne of Him 
 Who made the earth and sky ? 
 
 3 Art thou afraid His power will fail 
 
 In sorrow's evil day ? 
 Can the Creator's mighty arm 
 Grow weary or decay ? 
 
 4 Supreme in wisdom as in power 
 
 The Rock of Ages stands ; 
 Thou canst not search His mind, nor trace 
 The working of His hands. 
 
 5 He gives the conquest to the weak, 
 
 Supports the fainting heart ; 
 And courage in the evil hour 
 His heavenly aids impart. 
 
 6 Mere human energy shall faint, 
 
 And youthful vigor cease ; 
 But those who wait upon the Lord 
 In strength shall still increase. 
 
 7 They, with unwearied step, shall tread 
 
 The path of life Divine ; 
 With glowing ardor onward move, 
 With growing brightness shine.

 On wings of faith and love ; 
 Till, past the sphere of earth and sin, 
 They rise to heaven above.
