And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by
the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius
Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven,
And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From
thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; The holy Catholic Church; The
Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection
of the body, And the life everlasting. Amen.
_And after that, these Prayers following, all devoutly kneeling:
the Minister first pronouncing with a loud voice_,
The Lord be with you.
_Answer_. And with thy spirit.
_Minister_. Let us pray.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
_Christ, have mercy upon us_.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
_Then the Minister, Clerks, and people shall say the Lord's
Prayer with a loud voice_.
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name, Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this
day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive
them that trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil. Amen.
_Then the Priest standing up shall say_,
O Lord, shew thy mercy upon us.
_Answer_. And grant us thy salvation.
_Priest_. O Lord, save the King.
_Answer_. And mercifully hear us when we call upon thee.
_Priest_. Endue thy Ministers with righteousness.
_Answer_. And make thy chosen people joyful.
_Priest_. O Lord, save thy people.
_Answer_. And bless thine inheritance.
_Priest_. Give peace in our time, O Lord.
_Answer_. Because there is none other that fighteth for us, but
only thou, O God.
_Priest_. O God, make clean our hearts within us.
_Answer_. And take not thy Holy Spirit from us.
_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_.
_The Second Collect at Evening Prayer_.
O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all
just works do proceed: Give unto thy servants that peace which
the world can not give; that both our hearts may be set to obey
thy commandments, and also that by thee we being defended from
the fear of our enemies may pass our time in rest and quietness;
through the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour. _Amen_.
_The Third Collect, for Aid against all Perils_.
Lighten our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great
mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for
the love of thy only Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. _Amen_.
_In Quires and Places where they sing here followeth the Anthem_.
_A Prayer for the King's Majesty_.
O Lord our heavenly Father, high and mighty, King of kings, Lord
of lords, the only Ruler of princes, who dost from thy throne
behold all the dwellers upon earth: Most heartily we beseech thee
with thy favour to behold our most gracious Sovereign Lord, King
_GEORGE_, and so replenish him with the grace of thy Holy Spirit,
that he may alway incline to thy will, and walk in thy way: Endue
him plenteously with heavenly gifts; grant him in health and wealth
long to live; strengthen him that he may vanquish and overcome all
his enemies, and finally after this life he may attain everlasting
joy and felicity; through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
_A Prayer for the Royal Family_.
Almighty God, the fountain of all goodness, we humbly beseech thee
to bless our gracious Queen _Mary_, _Alexandra_ the Queen Mother,
_Edward_ Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family: Endue them
with thy Holy Spirit; enrich them with thy heavenly grace; prosper
them with all happiness; and bring them to thine everlasting
kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
| _The following Prayer may be said at Evening Prayer, for the_
| _King, the Royal Family, the Ministers of the Crown, the_
| _Parliament_ (_when in session_), _and those in authority_,
| _instead of the Prayers_ For the King's Majesty, For the Royal
| Family, _and_ For the High Court of Parliament; _but always_
| _either the following Prayer, or those above noted, shall be_
| _used, together with the_ Prayer for the Clergy and People,
| _the_ Prayer of St Chrysostom, _and_ the Grace, _unless the_
| _Litany be said_.
|
| O Lord God of our fathers, who rulest the nations of the earth;
| Most heartily we beseech thee with thy favour to behold our
| Sovereign Lord, King _GEORGE_, that he may alway incline to thy
| will and walk in thy way; and together with him bless our
| gracious Queen _Mary_, _Alexandra_ the Queen Mother, _Edward_
| Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family. Endue with wisdom
| the Ministers of the Crown, [the High Court of Parliament at
| this time assembled *,] and those who are in set in authority
| over us, that all things may be so ordered and settled by their
| endeavours, that peace and happiness, truth and justice, religion
| and piety, may be established among us for all generations;
| through Jesus Christ our Lord. _Amen_.
|
| [Margin Note:] * to be said when the Parliament is in Session.
_A Prayer for the Clergy and People_.
Almighty and everlasting God, who alone workest great marvels:
Send down upon our Bishops and Curates, and all Congregations
committed to their charge, the healthful Spirit of thy grace;
and that they may truly please thee, pour upon them the continual
dew of thy blessing. Grant this, O Lord, for the honour of our
Advocate and Mediator, Jesus Christ. _Amen_.
_A Prayer of Saint Chrysostom_.
Almighty God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord
to make our common supplications unto thee; and dost promise that
when two or three are gathered together in thy Name thou wilt
grant their requests: Fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions
of thy servants, as may be most expedient for them; granting us
in this world knowledge of thy truth, and in the world to come
life everlasting. _Amen_.
