I The Introductory Prayer; to be read

by the Minister alone. O HOLY, holy, LORD GOD

almighty, before whom all creatures bow; may we celebrate thy perfections, and speak of thy wonderful works, with attention and reverence; give thanks unto thee, and fing thy praises, with joy and gladness; humble ourselves before thee with fincere, and contrite hearts; and pray unto thee under a just sense of our dependence upon thy providence; and with fervent charity to all men: and may these our devotions, which we offer up in the name, and as the disciples of JESUS CHRIST, be acceptable to thee, O GOD, our strength and our redeemer. Amen.
