The Latin prayers had been known by their first words. Just as we now know a prayer as _Our Father_, or a doxology as _Glory be to the Father_, so formerly they were known as _Pater Noster_, and _Gloria Patri_. Some of these titles have survived. _Credo_ (_I believe_) has been shortened into _Creed_. We use as a Creed the Hymn _Quicunque vult_ (Whosoever will). The Canticles still are known by their first words in Latin, _Te Deum, Benedicite_, &c., and so is the 95th Psalm, _Venite, exultemus Domino_. The _Lesser Litany_ is a name given to the three petitions, _Lord, have mercy upon us._ _Christ, have mercy upon us._ _Lord, have mercy upon us._ They are used before the Lord's Prayer as an Invocation of the Holy Trinity. We proceed to examine the foundation of this order in worship. The model bequeathed to us by Our Lord is known to us as _The Lord's Prayer_, often called "_Our Father_" from the first words. [1] Haec sunt septenis propter quae psallimus horis: Matutina legat Christum qui crimina purgat. Prima replet sputis. Causam dat Tertia mortis. Sexta cruci nectit. Latus ejus Nona bipertit. Vespera deponit. Tumulo Completa reponit; which may be translated: Seven are the hours at which we sing and pray; Mattins for Christ who takes our sins away, Prime shows Him mocked, and Terce says why He died. Sext shows His Cross, and None His pierced side. Vespers His taking down commemorates, And Compline how they buried Him relates. Thus day by day we sing and pray Christ and Him crucified.

The pronouns used in the Lord's Prayer are 'Thy,' 'us,' 'our.' It is the voice of a people speaking to God. Even in private we may not pray for self alone; we must include our friends, neighbours, and all others. For this reason the Lord's Prayer is singularly adapted to the services of a congregation. Its petitions are short and direct, and therefore easily thought by every one at the same moment. This is an important point, because unity of intention is the essence of congregational worship. (S. Matth. xviii. 19, 20.) Notice the order of the pronouns in the seven petitions: ( Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy. ( Thy Kingdom come. ( Thy Will be done. ( Give us this day our daily bread. ( Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive Us, our. ( them that trespass against us. ( Lead us not into temptation. ( Deliver us from evil. {13} There are, it appears, two motives which prompt a man to worship God. One of these is God; Man himself is the other. a. Two Kinds of Worship.
