_People. Lord, have mercy upon us, and write all these Thy laws in our
hearts, we beseech Thee_.
Then shall follow one of these two Collects for the King.
LET US PRAY.
Almighty God, whose kingdom is ever-lasting, and power infinite; Have
mercy upon the whole Church; and so rule the heart of Thy chosen
servant GEORGE, our King and Governor, that he (knowing whose minister
he is) may above all things seek Thy honour and glory: and that we, and
all his subjects (duly considering Whose authority he hath) may
faithfully serve, honour, and humbly obey him, in Thee, and for Thee,
{23} according to Thy blessed Word and ordinance, through Jesus Christ
our Lord, Who with Thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth, ever
one God, world without end. Amen.
_Or,_
Almighty and Everlasting God, we are taught by Thy holy Word that the
hearts of kings are in Thy rule and governance, and that Thou dost
dispose and turn them as it seemeth best to Thy godly wisdom: we humbly
beseech Thee so to dispose and govern the heart of GEORGE Thy servant,
our King and Governor, that, in all his thoughts, words, and works, he
may ever seek Thy honour and glory, and study to preserve Thy people
committed to his charge, in wealth, peace, and godliness. Grant this,
O merciful Father, for Thy dear Son's sake, Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Here follow
THE COLLECT, EPISTLE, AND GOSPEL.
[If you have your Prayer Book with you, find out the Collect, Epistle,
and Gospel of the day. Before the Gospel say, "_Glory be to Thee, O
Lord_", and after the Gospel, "_Thanks be to Thee, O Lord_."]
{24}
THE CREED.
_I believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,
And of all things visible and invisible:_
_And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, Begotten
of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God
of very God, Begotten, not made, Being of one substance with the
Father; By Whom all things were made, Who for us men and for our
salvation came down from heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of
the Virgin Mary, And was made man, And was crucified also for us under
Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, And the third day He rose
again according to the Scriptures, And ascended into heaven, And
sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And he shall come again with
glory to judge both the quick and the dead; Whose kingdom shall have no
end_.
_And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life, Who
proceedeth from the Father and the Son, Who with the Father and the Son
together is worshipped and glorified, Who spake by the Prophets. And I
believe one Catholic and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one Baptism
for the remission of sins, and I look for the Resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen_.
