obey his word and they that love Him will keep his ways:

They that fear the LORD will seek that which is well pleasing unto Him and they that love Him shall be filled with the law.

:

They that fear the LORD will prepare their hearts and humble their souls in his sight,

Saying, We will fall into the hands of the LORD, and not into the hands of men : for as his majesty is, so is his mercy.

HYMN LXXXII.

Saint Matthew the Apostle.

Blessed is the man that walketh in the sight of the LORD: and dwelleth in the presence of the Sun of righteousness.

He is not taken by the snare of the tempter he falleth not into the pit of the destroyer of souls.

He falleth over no stumbling-blocks: he strayeth not out of the right way.

He hath no doubt nor fear: he presseth on in confidence toward the mark.

Thou wilt set his feet in large room, O LORD:

Thou wilt bring him to the end of his

race :

Thou wilt crown him with life and glory : and give him rest from his labours.

Thou wilt set him amidst thy chosen people in the promised land of thine inheritance :

There he shall stand before thy throne for ever and rejoice in the glory of thy presence.

He shall behold Thee face to face: he shall see Thee even as thou art :

And he shall behold himself after thy likeness shall he not be satisfied with it?

HYMN LXXXIII.

Saint Michael and all Angels.

1 Psalm xxxiv. 7.

3 Psalm xci. 11.

1

2 Hebrews i. 14.

4 Psalm ciii. 20-22.

The angel of the LORD tarrieth round about them that fear Him and delivereth them :

2 For they are all ministering spirits: sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation.

3

For He shall give his angels charge over them to keep them in all their ways.

They shall bear them in their hands : lest they dash their foot against a stone.

4 O praise the LORD, ye angels of his : ye that excel in strength :

Ye that fulfil his commandment : and hearken unto the voice of his words.

O praise the LORD, all ye his hosts : ye servants of his that do his pleasure :

O speak good of the LORD, all ye works of his in all places of his dominion: praise thou the LORD, O my soul.

HYMN LXXXIV.

St. Luke the Evangelist.

O LORD, we would praise Thee : for all thy wondrous works.

For all the produce of the earth : and the bounties of the waters.

For the sunshine and the rain the summer and the winter.

For the day and night for the seedtime and the harvest.

But, above all, O LORD for giving thine own dear Son;

In whom we have redemption through his blood even the forgiveness of sins;

For joys which the world cannot give : nor can it take away ;

For the light of thy Fatherly presence : for the water of life everlasting;

For a house not made with hands: eternal in the heavens ;

For the bread which cometh from heaven : to be the life of the world.

HYMN LXXXV.

St. Simon and St. Jude, Apostles.

Ecclesiasticus xxxvi. 1-6. 8. 17.

Have mercy upon us : O LORD God of all, and behold us :

And send thy fear upon all the nations : that seek not after Thee.

Lift up thy hand to the strange nations: and let them see thy power:

As Thou wast sanctified in us before them: so be Thou magnified in them before us.

And let them know Thee, as we have known Thee that there is no God but only Thou, O God.

Shew new signs, and make other strange wonders glorify thy hand and thy right arm, that they may set forth thy wondrous works.

Make the time short, remember the covenant : and let them declare thy wonderful works;

That all they which dwell upon the earth may know that Thou art the LORD, the eternal God.

HYMN LXXXVI.

All Saints' Day.

O LORD, Thou hast a day in store : O Judge eternal, it is written in thy books:

When there shall be no blackness of the clouds of sorrow: neither rain of the tears of weeping.

But there shall be joy before Thee : and the song of holy mirth shall go up before thy throne.

For there shall be no business but that of
