And accept, good Lord, of all the praises of all thy people met together this day. O that _thy ways were known upon all the earth, thy saving health among all nations_! And that all Christian kings especially, may be filled with thy holy Spirit, and be faithful subjects of the Lord Jesus _the King of Kings and Lord of Lords_. O that thy _priests may be cloathed with righteousness, and thy saints rejoice and sing_; that all who are in distress may trust in thee, the _help of their countenance and their_ God. O Lord, hear us, and make thy face to shine upon thy servants, that we may _enter into thy gates with thanksgiving, and into thy courts with praise: that we may be thankful unto thee and bless thy name_. Amen, for Jesus Christ’s sake, in whose words we conclude our imperfect prayers, saying, “Our Father, &c.” * * * * * SUNDAY EVENING. O THOU _high and holy one that inhabitest eternity_. Thou art to be feared and loved by all thy servants. _All thy works praise thee_, O God; and we especially _give thanks unto thee_, for thy marvellous love in Christ Jesus, by whom thou hast _reconciled the world to thyself_. Thou hast _given us exceeding great and precious promises_. Thou hast sealed them with his blood, thou hast confirmed them by his resurrection and ascension, and the coming of the Holy Ghost. We thank thee that thou hast given us so many happy opportunities of knowing _the truth as it is in_ Jesus, even _the mystery which was hid from ages and generations_, but is now revealed to them that believe. Blessed be thy goodness for that great consolation, and for the assistance of thy holy Spirit. Blessed be thy goodness, that we have felt it so often in our hearts, inspiring us with holy thoughts, filling us with love and joy and comfortable expectations of _the glory that shall be revealed_. We thank thee, that thou hast suffered us this day, to attend on thee in thy public service: and that we have begun in any measure, to pursue after that eternal _rest which remaineth for the people of_ God. We offer up again our souls and bodies to thee to be governed, not by our will, but thine. O let it be ever the ease and joy of our hearts, to be under the conduct of thy unerring wisdom, to follow thy counsels, and to be ruled in all things by thy holy will. And let us never distrust thy abundant kindness and tender care over us; whatsoever it is thou wouldst have us to do, or to suffer in this world.
