Leffon Ephef. 4. 26.

E angry, but fin not; let not the Sun go down upon your Wrath.

Neither give place to the Devil.

Let him that ftole fteal no more; but rather let him labour, working with his Hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

Let no corrupt Communication proceed out of your Mouth, but that which is good to the ufe of Edifying, that it may minister Grace to the Hearers.

And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you are fealed unto the Day of Redemption.

Let all Bitterness, and Wrath, and Anger, and Clamour, and evil-speaking be put away from you, with all Malice.

Be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's fake hath forgiven you.

Antiphon.

Happily ends the Day whofe Evils end with it, cancell'd by juft Contrition; happily begins the Night which is introduc'd with Aspirations to our eternal Reft.

V. The Day is thine, and the Night is thine.

R. Lord, may thy Grace through both breed us up alfo to be thine.

Let us Pray.

God, whofe gracious Providence vouchfafes to put us frequently in mind of our own and the World's laft End, by burying every Day in the filent Grave of Night; fweeten, we humbly befeech thee, and render familiar to our Expectation, those terrible Periods of Time, by our conftant due Use of this; to even our Accounts with thee, and fit our felves for Sleep, with a devout Compofure of our Souls to their Eternal Reft And grant that our yielding fo often, and so easily at the Summons of our drowsie Humours, to fufpend for fome Hours all Operations of the whole Man, may teach our Souls to reflect themselves into a more reasonable Willingness, whenever thou call'ft us to leave our Bodies in the Bed of Duft, and pafs into the State of their own perfect and ever-waking Activity and Blifs, heighten'd by fure Hopes of a compleatly glorifying Refurrection, through our Lord Jefus Chrift thy Son; who, with thee and the Holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth one God, World without End. Amen.

Vouchsafe, &c. to the End, as in Sun

HYMN IX.

Ome let's adore the gracious Hand,
That brought us to this Light;

That gave his Angels ftrict Command
To be our Guard this Night.

When we laid down our weary Head,
And Sleep feal'd up our Eye;
They stood and watch'd about our Bed,
And let no Harm come nigh.

Now we are up they still go on,
And guide as through the Day;
They never leave their Charge alone,
Whate're besets our Way.

And, O my Soul, how many Snares
Lie fpread before our Feet?
In all our Joys, in all our Cares,
Some Danger still we meet.

Sometimes the Sin does us o'retake,
And on our Weakness win;
Sometimes our felves our Ruin make,
And we o❜retake the Sin.

O fave us, Lord, from all those Darts,
That feek our Souls to flay;
Save us from us, and our falfe Hearts,
Left we our felves betray.

Save us, O Lord, to thee we cry,
From whence all Bleffings fpring.
We on thy Grace alone rely,
Alone thy Glory fing.

Glory to Thee, Eternal Lord,
Thrice bleffed Three in One;
Thy Name at all Times be ador'd,
Till Time it felf be done. Amen.

Antiphon.

If we receive all we have of God, why do we boast as if we had it of our felves?

PSALM XXVIII.

Tunto us, O Lord, not unto us; but to thine own bleft Name give all the Glory.

When we have applied our utmost Cares; and used all the Diligence that lies in our Power.
