PRAYER FOR OUR COUNTRY.

6.6.4.

1271 God be merciful unto us and bless us.

Ps. 67. 1.

1 OD bless our native land:
G
U May Thy protecting hand
Still guard our shore!

May peace her power extend,
Foe be transformed to friend,
And Britain's rights depend
On war no more!

2 O Lord, our monarch bless
With strength and righteousness;
Long may she reign!

Her heart inspire and move
With wisdom from above;
And in a nation's love

Her throne maintain.

3 May just and righteous laws
Uphold the public cause,
And bless our isle!

Home of the brave and free,

Thou land of liberty,

May Heaven ne'er cease on thee
With love to smile!

4 Nor on this land alone;

But be God's mercies known
From shore to shore!

And may the nations see

That men should brothers be,

And form one family

The wide world o'er.

CLOSING SONG OF PRAISE.

Te Deum Laudamus.

praise Thee, O God: we acknowledge Thee to be the Lord.

All the earth doth worship Thee: the Father everlasting.

To Thee all angels cry aloud: the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.

To Thee Cherubim, and Seraphim, continually do cry,

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth;

Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty of Thy Glory.

The glorious company of the Apostles: praise

Thee.

The goodly fellowship of the Prophets: praise Thee.

The noble army of Martyrs: praise Thee. The holy Church throughout all the world, doth acknowledge Thee;

The Father of an infinite Majesty; Thine honourable, true, and only Son; Also the Holy Ghost the Comforter. Thou art the King of Glory: O Christ. Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father. When Thou tookest upon Thee to deliver man, Thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.

When Thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, Thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.

Thou sittest at the right hand of God, in the Glory of the Father.

We believe that Thou shalt come, to be our Judge.

We therefore pray Thee, help Thy servants, whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious blood.

Make them to be numbered with Thy Saints, in glory everlasting.

O Lord, save Thy people: and bless Thine heritage.

Govern them, and lift them up for ever.
Day by day, we magnify Thee;

And we worship Thy Name, ever world without end.

Vouchsafe, O Lord: to keep us this day without sin.

O Lord, have mercy upon us: have mercy

upon us.

O Lord, let Thy mercy lighten upon us, as our trust is in Thee.

O Lord, in Thee have I trusted: let me never be confounded.
