MORNING AND EVENING PRAYER.
In the plain form in which it is to be taught by the head of a family.
MORNING.
In the Morning, when thou risest, thou shalt say:
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen.
Then, kneeling or standing, thou shalt say the Apostles' Creed and the Lord's Prayer.
Then mayest than say this Prayer:
I give thanks unto Thee, Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ Thy dear Son, that Thou hast protected me through the night from all danger and harm; and I beseech Thee to preserve and keep me this day also, from all sin and evil; that in all my thoughts, words, and deeds, I may serve and please Thee. Into Thy hands I commend my body and soul, and all that is mine. Let Thy holy angel have charge concerning me, that the wicked one may have no power over me. Amen.
And then shouldst thou go with joy to thy work, after a Hymn, or the Ten Commandments, or whatever thy devotion may suggest.
EVENING.
