REQUESTS
FOR THE PRAYERS
OF THE
CONGREGATION
When the prayers of the Congregation are desired on behalf of sick persons,
sufferers from any public calamity, or others, the Minister may give
notice of the same before he begins the Litany, and may insert the words
especially those for whom our prayers are desired in the relative
suffrage to which the case is appropriate. Such notice may also be given
at Morning or Evening Prayer before any prayers after the Third Collect
are said, or in the Holy Communion before the Prayer for the whole state
of Christ's Church is said.
And, when prayer is desired on behalf of any sick person, the Minister
may during Divine Service use the first Collect appointed for the Communion
of the Sick, inserting after the words visited with thine hand the
words for whom our prayers are desired, or he may use the second
Collect, or any of the prayers in the Order for the Visitation of the
Sick, as the case may seem to him to require.
HOW
THE ORDER FOR MORNING PRAYER MAY BEGIN ON CERTAIN OCCASIONS
When Mattins precedeth Holy Communion as a Service for the same Congregation,
either immediately or with the Litany only intervening, it may begin
with O Lord open thou our lips, &c. It shall then suffice
that one of the appointed Psalms be used; and Mattins may end with the
Benedictus Dominus or Jubilate, or The Lord be with
you, &c., Let us pray, and one or both of the Collects for Peace
and Grace and The Grace may be added.

Father; but confess them with an humble, lowly, penitent, and obedient
heart; to the end that we may obtain forgiveness of the same, by his
infinite goodness and mercy. And although we ought at all times humbly
to acknowledge our sins before God; yet ought we most chiefly so to
do, when we assemble and meet together to render thanks for the great
benefits that we have received at his hands, to set forth his most worthy
praise, to hear his most holy word, and to ask those things which are
requisite and necessary, as well for the body as the soul. Wherefore
I pray and beseech you, as many as are here present, to accompany me
with a pure heart and humble voice unto the throne of the heavenly grace,
saying after me:

Introduction (as on pages 1-5) having been said, the Minister
and the whole Congregation after him shall say this general Confession,
all kneeling:
ALMIGHTY
and most merciful Father, We have erred and strayed from thy ways like
lost sheep, We have followed too much the devices and desires of our
own hearts, We have offended against thy holy laws, We have left undone
those things which we ought to have done, And we have done those things
which we ought not to have done, And there is no health in us: But thou,
O Lord, have mercy upon us miserable offenders; Spare thou them, O God,
which confess their faults, Restore thou them that are penitent, According
to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesu our Lord: And grant,
O most merciful Father, for his sake, That we may hereafter live a godly,
righteous, and sober life, To the glory of thy holy Name. Amen.
The Absolution, or Remission of sins, to be pronounced
by the Priest alone, standing: the people still kneeling.
ALMIGHTY
God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who desireth not the death
of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his wickedness and live;
and hath given power and commandment to his Ministers, to declare and
pronounce to his people, being penitent, the Absolution and Remission
of their sins: He pardoneth and absolveth all them that truly repent
and unfeignedly believe his holy Gospel. Wherefore let us beseech him
to grant us true repentance and his Holy Spirit, that those things may
please him which we do at this present, and that the rest of our life
hereafter may be pure and holy; so that at the last we may come to his
eternal joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The
people shall answer here, and at the end of all the prayers,
Amen.
Or this
general Confession and this Absolution may be said.
WE
confess to God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, that
we have sinned in thought, word, and deed, through our own grievous
fault. Wherefore we pray God to have mercy upon us.
ALMIGHTY

evil, confirm and strengthen us in all goodness, and bring us to life
everlasting. A men.

of his servant David;
3 As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets : which have
been since the world began;
4 That we should be saved from our enemies and from the hands
of all that hate us;

by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell1;
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.

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.

the Minister standing up shall say,
O Lord, shew thy mercy upon us;
Answer. And grant us thy salvation.

Minister. Endue thy Ministers with righteousness;

Answer. Because there is none other that fighteth for
us, but only thou, O God.

Minister.
Let us pray.
Then

same that is appointed at the communion: The second for Peace: The third

of peace and lover of concord, in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal
life, whose service is perfect freedom: Defend us thy humble servants
in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in thy defence,
may not fear the power of any adversaries; through the might of Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.

THIRD COLLECT, FOR GRACE
O LORD our heavenly Father,
Almighty and Everlasting God, who hast safely brought us to the beginning
of this day: Defend us in the same with thy mighty power; and grant

but that all our doings may be ordered by thy governance, to do always
that is righteous in thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Lady, Queen Elizabeth, and so replenish her with the grace of
thy Holy Spirit, that she may alway incline to thy will, and walk in

all her enemies, and finally after this life she may attain everlasting
joy and felicity; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

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.
2 Corinthians 13. 14.
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.
Here endeth the Order of Morning Prayer throughout the
year.
