At his hands, O Lord our God, we beg thy gracious
acceptance of our humble praise and thanksgiving for all thy
blessings, spiritual and temporal, so freely conferred upon us. We praise thee for all the comforts and conveniences of this
life, and for all the means and hopes of a better; particularly
for what we have received this day; the food of our souls set
before us, the word of salvation sounding in our ears, and
ithe Spirit of God striving with our hearts. O withdraw not
thy tender mercies from us, but still continue thy accustomed
goodness, and increase thy grace and heavenly blessings
upon us, and rejoice over us to do us good. In mercy pass by all which thy most pure and holy eyes
have seen amiss in us this day. Forgive the iniquities of
'our holy things; overlook all our sins and failings through
our great Mediator and Redeemer, who ever lives at thy
right hand to make intercession for us. And for Jesus
Christ, and all which thou art pleased to give us together
with him, “not unto us, O Lord, but unto thy name’” be aly
the praise, and honour, and glory, humbly ascribed by us,
and all thy Church, now and for evermore ! “Our Father,” &c.
