During the Ablutions, say:

HYMN 182 (A. and M.).

"JESU, grant me this, I pray,
Ever in Thy Heart to stay;
Let me evermore abide
Hidden in Thy wounded Side.

"If the evil one prepare,

Or the world, a tempting snare,
I am safe when I abide

In Thy Heart and wounded Side.

"If the flesh, more dangerous still,
Tempt my soul to deeds of ill,
Nought I fear when I abide
In Thy Heart and wounded Side.

"Death will come one day to me;
JESU, cast me not from Thee:
Dying let me still abide

In Thy Heart and wounded Side."

"The Banquet over, as we go,

Strong in the strength of this Celestial Meat,
To tread the path of life with firmer feet,
To work the works which Thou hast bid us do,
Abide with us, O LORD, that still
We may remember Thee! Amen."

and Wine, it shall suffice that the Bread be such as is usual to be eaten; but the best and purest Wheat Bread that conveniently may be gotten.

And if any of the Bread and Wine remain unconsecrated, the Curate shall have it to his own use; but if any remain of that which was consecrated, it shall not be carried out of the Church, but the Priest and such other of the Communicants as he shall then call unto him, shall, immediately after the Blessing, reverently eat and drink the same.

¶ The Bread and Wine for the Communion shall be provided by the Curate and the Church-wardens at the charges of the Parish.

¶ And note, that every Parishioner shall communicate at the least three times in the year, of which Easter to be one. And yearly at Easter every Parishioner shall reckon with the Parson, Vicar, or Curate, or his or their Deputy or Deputies; and pay to them or him all Ecclesiastical Duties, accustomably due, then and at that time to be paid.

After the Divine Service ended, the money given at the Offertory shall be disposed of to such pious and charitable uses, as the Minister and Church-wardens shall think fit. Wherein if they disagree, it shall be disposed of as the Ordinary shall appoint.

Nunc Dimittis. S. Luke ii. 29.

LORD, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy word:

For mine eyes have seen Thy salvation,

Which Thou hast prepared before the face of all people;

To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, and to be the glory of Thy people Israel.

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.

A Short Office of Thanksgiving.

PSALM CIII.

Benedic, anima mea.

PRAISE the Lord, O my soul: and all that is

within me, praise His holy Name.

Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:

Who forgiveth all thy sin, and healeth all thine infirmities;

Who saveth thy life from destruction, and crowneth thee with mercy and loving-kindness;

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things, making thee young and lusty as an eagle.

The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, longsuffering, and of great goodness.

Yea, like as a father pitieth his own children, even so is the Lord merciful unto them that fear Him.

For He knoweth whereof we are made; He remembereth that we are but dust.

The days of man are but as grass: for He flourisheth as a flower of the field.

For as soon as the wind goeth over it, it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

But the merciful goodness of the Lord endureth for ever and ever upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness upon children's children;

A SHORT OFFICE OF THANKSGIVING.

Even upon such as keep His covenant, and think upon His commandments to do them.

The Lord hath prepared His seat in heaven; and His kingdom ruleth over all.

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.

Lord, have mercy upon us.

Christ, have mercy upon us. Lord, have mercy upon us.

Our Father, etc.

ALMIGHTY

LMIGHTY and everliving God, I most heartily thank Thee, for that Thou hast vouchsafed to feed me with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of Thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ; and hast assured me thereby of Thy favour and goodness towards me; and that I am a very member incorporate in the mystical body of Thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people; and am also heir through hope of Thy everlasting kingdom, by the merits of the most precious death and passion of Thy dear Son. And I most humbly beseech Thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist me with Thy grace, that I may continue in that holy fellowship, and do all such good works as Thou hast prepared for me to walk in; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with Thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.
