The 'two last' of these prayers are not to be read at Morning Prayer on Litany days, inasmuch as they are then read the Litany, instead of at Morning Prayer. 39. Here endeth the Order of Morning Prayer throughout the Year. THE ORDER FOR EVENING PRAYER, DAILY THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. See notes on the Rubrics of Morning Prayer for the corresponding Rubrics of Evening Prayer. 40. At the beginning of Evening Prayer the Minister shall read with a loud voice some one or more of these Sentences of the Scriptures that follow. And then he shall say that which is written after the said Sentences. 41. A general Confession to be said of the whole Congregation after the Minister, all kneeling. 42. The Absolution, or Remission of sins, to be pronounced by the Priest alone, standing; the people still kneeling. 43. Then the Minister shall kneel, and say the Lord's Prayer; the people also kneeling, and repeating it with him. 44. Then likewise he shall say, O Lord, open, &c. 45. Here all standing up, the Priest shall say, Glory be, &c. 46. Then shall be said or sung the Psalms in order as they are appointed. Then a Lesson of the Old Testament, as is appointed. And after that, _Magnificat_ (or the Song of the blessed Virgin _Mary_) in English, as followeth. 47. Or else this Psalm; except it be on the Nineteenth Day of the Month, when it is read in the ordinary Course of the Psalms. 48. Then a Lesson of the New Testament, as it is appointed. And after that, _Nunc dimittis_ (or the Song of _Symeon_) in English, as followeth. 49. Or else this Psalm; except it be on the Twelfth Day of the Month. When Evening Prayer is said once only in the day, it is better never to drop the _Magnificat_ or _Nunc Dimittis_. When Evening Prayer is said twice on the same day, it seems proper not to drop the _Magnificat_ at the first service (representing the ancient Evensong or Vespers, of which _Magnificat_ was an invariable part); and, similarly, not to drop the _Nunc Dimittis_ at the second service (representing the other component of Evening Prayer, viz. the ancient Compline, at which that Canticle was invariably used), so that in any case one of the Gospel Canticles should be always used. 50. Then shall be said or sung the Apostles' Creed by the Minister and the people, standing. 51. And after that, these Prayers following, all devoutly kneeling; the Minister first pronouncing with a loud voice. The Lord, &c. 52. Then the Minister, Clerks, and people, shall say the Lord's Prayer with a loud voice. 53. Then the Priest standing up shall say, O Lord, shew, &c. 54. Then shall follow three Collects; the first of the Day; the second for Peace; the third for Aid against all Perils, as hereafter followeth: which two last Collects shall be daily said at Evening Prayer without alteration. 55. In Quires and Places where they sing, here followeth the Anthem. 56. Here endeth the Order of Evening Prayer throughout the Year. AT MORNING PRAYER.
