A Prayer

FOR THOSE DAYS UPON WHICH THE LORD'S SUPPER IS TO BE

ADMINISTERED.

PREPARE US, we beseech thee, by thy grace, for the worthy celebration this day of that holy ordinance, which thy Son was pleased to appoint for a continual remembrance of his death, for a pledge of his love, and for a means of grace, to our great and endless comfort. O may we discern the Lord's body in it, and remember and adore the exceeding love of Christ our Saviour, thus dying for us. Give us repentance unto life, and endue us with a lively faith, a perfect love, and an universal charity. Enable us spiritually to receive the body and blood of Christ our Saviour; that so all carnal affections. may die in us, and that all things belonging to the Spirit may live and grow in us; aud that, being continually refreshed and strengthened by thy grace, we may persevere in all godliness unto our lives end. May we never forget the vows of God that are upon us; that being not conformed to this world, but transformed into the likeness of Christ, we may be fit for thine everlasting kingdom.

FOR THE RECOVERY FROM SICKNESS OF ANY MEMBER OF A

FAMILY.

WE humbly thank thee, O gracious and merciful Lord, that thou hast heard the prayers of thy servants; and restoring him who was lately brought low by the visitation of sickness, hast raised him up from the gates of the grave. Thou hast delivered his soul from death, his eyes from tears, and his feet from falling. O Lord, we thank and praise

thee for thy great mercy. Let it be good for us that we have been in sorrow and affliction; while our humble trust in thy mercy is strengthened, teach him and us the uncertainty of this life, and give us grace to fix our hopes upon thy promises of that life which shall be holier and happier.
