As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets: which have been since the world began ;

That we should be saved from our enemies and from the hands of all that hate us;

:

To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers and to remember his holy Covenant;

To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather Abraham that he would give us;

That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies: might serve him without fear;

In holiness and righteousness before him: all the days of our life.

And thou, Child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord

to prepare his ways;

To give knowledge of salvation unto his people: for the remission of their sins,

Through the tender mercy of our God whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us;

Be ye sure that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and speak good of his Name.

For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting: and his truth endureth from generation to generation.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;

year, as followeth; all kneel-
ing.

The second Collect, for
Peace.

life, whose service is perfect

humble servants in all as-

defence, may not fear the
power of any adversaries,
through the might of Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.

The third Collect, for
Grace.

LORD, our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day; Defend us in the same with thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of

danger; but that all our doings may be ordered by thy governance, to do always that is righteous in thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
