The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the
fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. _Amen_.
_After Victory or Deliverance from an Enemy_.
_A Psalm or Hymn of Praise and Thanksgiving after Victory_.
If the Lord had not been on our side, now may we say: if the Lord
himself had not been on our side, when men rose up against us;
They had swallowed us up quick: when they were so wrathfully
displeased at us.
Yea, the waters had drowned us, and the stream had gone over our
soul: the deep waters of the proud had gone over our soul.
But praised be the Lord: who hath not given us over as a prey unto
them.
The Lord hath wrought: a mighty salvation for us.
We gat not this by our own sword, neither was it our own arm that
saved us: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy
countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto us.
The Lord hath appeared for us: the Lord hath covered our heads,
and made us to stand in the day of battle.
The Lord hath appeared for us: the Lord hath overthrown our
enemies, and dashed in pieces those that rose up against us.
Therefore not unto us, O Lord, not unto us: but unto thy Name be
given the glory.
The Lord hath done great things for us: the Lord hath done great
things for us, for which we rejoice.
Our help standeth in the Name of the Lord: who hath made heaven
and earth.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord: from this time forth for evermore.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world
without end. Amen.
_After this Hymn may be sung the TE DEUM_.
_Then this Collect_.
O almighty God, the sovereign Commander of all the world, in whose
hand is power and might which none is able to withstand: We bless
and magnify thy great and glorious Name for this happy victory,
the whole glory whereof we do ascribe to thee, who art the only
giver of victory. And, we beseech thee, give us grace to improve
this great mercy to thy glory, the advancement of thy Gospel, the
honour of our Sovereign, and, as much as in us lieth, to the good
of all mankind. And, we beseech thee, give us such a sense of this
great mercy, as may engage us to a true thankfulness, such as may
appear in our lives by an humble, holy, and obedient walking before
thee all our days, through Jesus Christ our Lord; to whom with thee
and the Holy Spirit, as for all thy mercies, so in particular for
this victory and deliverance, be all glory and honour, world without
end. _Amen_.
