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 Lord bless us and keep us. The Lord make his face to shine upon
us, and be gracious unto us. The Lord lift up his countenance upon
us, and give us peace, this night and evermore. _Amen._
For Those at Home
Into thy hands, O Father, I commend this day (_this night_) my home,
my family, and all who are dear to me. Bless them with the knowledge
of thy continual presence, uphold them in all cares and trials,
sustain them with thy power; and grant that, drawing nearer to thee
and to each other, we may ever rejoice in the fellowship of those
who trust in thy goodness and thy love; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. _Amen._
Psalms
Psalm 1
1 Blessed _is_ the man that walketh not in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat
of the scornful.
2 But his delight _is_ in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth
he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not
wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4 The ungodly _are_ not so: but _are_ like the chaff which the wind
driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners
in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the
ungodly shall perish.
Psalm 15
1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy
holy hill?
2 He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh
the truth in his heart.
3 _He that_ backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his
neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.
4 In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them
that fear the Lord. _He that_ sweareth to _his own_ hurt, and
changeth not.
5 _He that_ putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward
against the innocent. He that doeth these _things_ shall never be
moved.
Psalm 19
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth
his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth
knowledge.
3 _There is_ no speech nor language, _where_ their voice is not
heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to
the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun.
5 Which _is_ as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, _and_
rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth _is_ from the end of the heaven, and his circuit
unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 The law of the Lord _is_ perfect, converting the soul: the
testimony of the Lord _is_ sure, making wise the simple.
