| ADDITIONAL PRAYERS UPON SEVERAL OCCASIONS | | _Before any or each of these prayers may be said_, Let us pray | for------, _or other like words_. | | _At the New Year_. | | O immortal Lord God, who inhabitest eternity, and hast brought | us, thine unworthy servants, to the beginning of another year: | Pardon, we most humbly beseech thee, our transgressions in the | past, and graciously abide with us all the days of our life; | guard and direct us in all trials and temptations, that by thy | blessing we may grow in grace as we grow in years, and at the | last may finish our course with joy; through Jesus Christ our | Lord. _Amen_. | | _On New Year's Day_. | | O Saviour of the world, who as on this day wast called JESUS, | according to the word of the Angel: Fulfil unto us, we beseech | thee, the gracious promise of that holy Name, and, of thy great | mercy, save thy people from their sins; who with the Father and | the Holy Ghost livest and reignest, one God, world without end. | _Amen_. | | PRAYERS WHICH MAY BE SAID ON ROGATION DAYS. | [_These prayers may be used also at other times_.] | | _For fruitful seasons_. | | Almighty God, Lord of heaven and earth, in whom we live and | move and have our being, who makest the sun to rise on the evil | and on the good, and sendest rain on the just and on the unjust; | We beseech thee at this time favourably to behold thy people | who call upon thee, and to send thine abundant blessing upon | the earth that it may bring forth its fruits in due season, | and that we, being filled with thy bounty, may ever more give | thanks unto thee, the giver of all good; through Jesus Christ | our Lord. _Amen_. | | O almighty God, who hast created the earth for man, and man for | thy glory: Mercifully hear the supplications of thy people, and | be mindful of thy covenant; that both the earth may yield her | increase, and the good seed of thy word may bring forth | abundantly, to the glory of thy holy Name; through Jesus Christ | our Lord. _Amen_. | | _For a blessing on Fisheries_. | | O Almighty God, who madest the sea, and gavest all that moveth | therein for the use of man: Bestow thy blessing, we beseech | thee, on the harvest of the waters that it may be abundant in | its season; protect from every peril of the deep all fishermen | and mariners, and grant that they may with thankful hearts | acknowledge thee, who art Lord of the sea and of the dry land; | through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_. | | _For a blessing on Local Industries_. | | O almighty Father, who through thy Son Jesus Christ hast | consecrated labour to the blessing of mankind: Prosper, we pray | thee, the industries of this place; defend those who are engaged | therein from all perils, and grant that they may rejoice in the | fruits of thy bounty, and bless thee for thy loving-kindness, | through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_. | | _For the Conversion of the Jews_. | | [_A prayer of Bishop Wilson_.] |
