The Order for Morning Prayer
dayly
throughout the year.

¶ At the beginning of Morning Prayer, the Minister shall read with a loud voice, some one, or more of these sentences of the scriptures that follow. And then he shall say that which is written after the said sentences.

When the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doth that which is lawfull and right, he shall save his soul alive.

    Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out mine iniquities.

    The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken, and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

    Rent your hearts, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God; for he is gracious and mercifull, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

    To the Lord our God belong mercies, and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him: Neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his Laws which he set before us.

    O Lord correct me, but with judgement; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

    Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

    I will arise, and go to my father, and will say unto him: Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

    Enter not into judgement with thy servant [O Lord] for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

    If we say, that we have no sin, we deceive our selves, and the Truth is not in us: [But] if we confess our sins, he is faithfull and just to forgive us our sinns, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
 

Dearly beloved brethren, the scripture moveth us in sundry places to acknowledge, and confess our manifold sins and wickednes, and that we should not dissemble nor cloak them before the face of Almighty God our heavenly father; but confess them with an humble lowly penitent, and obedient heart, to the end that we may obtein forgivenes of the same by his infinite goodnes and mercy. And although we ought at all times humbly to acknowledge our sins before God, yet ought we most chiefly so to do, when we assemble and meet together to render thanks for the great benefits that we have received at his hands, to set forth his most worthy praise, to hear his most holy word, and to aske those things which are requisite and necessary as well for the body as the soul. Wherefore I pray and beseech you, as many as are here present, to accompany me with a pure heart, and humble voice, unto the throne of the heavenly grace, saying after me

¶ A generall Confession to be said of the whole congregation, after the Minister, all kneeling.

Almighty and most mercifull Father, We have erred and strayed from thy wayes like lost sheep, We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts, We have offended against thy holy laws, We have left undon those things which we ought to have don, And we have don those things which we ought not to have don, And there is no health in us: But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us miserable offenders; Spare thou them, O God, which confess their faults, Restore thou them that are penitent, According to thy promises declared unto mankind, in Christ Jesu our Lord: And grant O most mercifull father, for his sake, That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, To the glory of thy holy Name. Amen.

¶ The Absolution, or Remission of sins to be pronounced by the Priest alone, standing, the people still kneeling.

Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who desireth not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his wickedness, and live; and hath given power and commandment to his ministers to declare, and pronounce to his people being penitent, the absolution and remission of their sins: He pardoneth, and absolveth all them that truly repent, and unfeignedly believe his holy Gospel. Wherefore let us beseech him to grant us true repentance, and his holy spirit, that those things may please him which we do, at this present, and that the rest of our life hereafter may be pure and holy, so that at the last we may come to his eternall joy, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The people shall answer here, and at the end of all other prayers.  Amen.

¶ Then the Minister shall kneel and say the Lords Prayer with an audible voice: the people also kneeling, and repeating it with him, both here, and wheresoever else it is used in divine service.

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be don in earth as it is in heaven, Give us this day our daily bread: And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us: And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.

¶ Then likewise he shall he say.

¶ Here, all standing up, the Priest shall say.

¶ Then shall be said or sung this Psalm following: Except on Easter Day, upon which another Anthem is appointed: and on the nineteenth day of every month it is not to be read here, but in the ordinary course of the Psalms.
 

O come, let us sing unto the Lord : let us heartily rejoyce in the strength of our salvation
    Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving : and shew our selves glad in him with Psalms.
    For the Lord is a great God : and a great King above all Gods.
    In his hand are all the Corners of the Earth : and the strength of the Hills is his alsoe.
    The sea is his, and he made it : and his hands prepared the dry Land.
    O come, let us worship, and fall downe : and kneel before the Lord our Maker.
    For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheepe of his hand.
    To day if ye will heare his voyce, harden not your hearts : as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness.
    When your fathers tempted mee : proved me and saw my works.
    Forty yeares long was I grieved with this generation and said : it is a people that do erre in their hearts, for they have not known my wayes.
    Unto whom I sware in my wrath : that they should not enter into my rest.
    Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the holy Ghost.
    As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.

¶ Then shall follow the Psalms in order as they be appointed. And at the end of every Psalm throughout the yeare, and likewise in the end of Benedicite, Benedictus, Magnificat, and Nunc dimittis shall be repeated.

¶ Then shall be read distinctly with an audible voice, the first Lesson, taken out of the old Testament as is appointed in the Kalender. Except there be proper Lessons assigned for that day. He that readeth so standing and turning himself, as he may best be heard of all such as are present; And after that, shall be said or sung in English, the Hymn called Te Deum laudamus, daily throughout the yeare.

¶ Note that before every Lesson the Minister shall say, Here beginneth such a Chapter, or verse of such a chapter of such a Book. And after every Lesson, Here endeth the first, or the second Lesson.
 

We praise thee, O God: we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
    All the Earth doth worship thee : the Father everlasting.
    To thee all Angells cry aloud : the heavens and all the powers therein.

    When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man : thou didst not abhor the Virgins Womb.
    When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of Death : thou didst open the kingdom of heaven to all beleevers.
    Thou sittest at the right hand of God : in the glory of the Father.
    Wee believe that thou shalt come : to be our Judge.
    We therefore pray thee help thy servants : whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood.
    Make them to be numbred with thy Saints: in glory everlasting.
    O Lord save thy people : and bless thine heritage.
    Govern them : and lift them up for ever.
    Day by Day: we magnifie thee.
    And we worship thy name : ever world without end.
    Vouchsafe, (O Lord:) to keep us this day without sin.
    O Lord have mercy upon us : have mercy upon us.
    O Lord let thy mercy lighten upon us : as our trust is in thee.
    O Lord in thee have I trusted : let me never be confounded.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel : for he hath visited, and redeemed his people.
    And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us : in the house of his servant David.
    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 hands of our enemies : might serve him without fear.
    In holines, and righteousnes before him : all the dayes 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 wayes.
    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.
    To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death : and to guide our feet Into the way of peace.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the holy Ghost.
    As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.

¶ Or this Psalm.
 

    O be joyfull in the Lord all ye Lands : serve the Lord with gladnes, and come before his presence with a song.
    Be ye sure that the Lord he is God : it is he that hath made us, and not we our selves, 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 thankfull unto him, and speak good of his Name.
    For the Lord is gratious, 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.
    As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall I be : world without end. Amen.

¶ Then shall be sung, or said, the Apostles Creed, by the Minister and the people standing: Except only such Dayes as the Creed of saint Athanasius is appointed to be read.

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth: And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the holy Ghost, Born of the virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead and buried. He descended into Hell, The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into Heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the holy Ghost, The holy Catholick Churche, The Communion of Saints, The forgiveness of sins, The resurrection of the body, And the life everlasting. Amen.

Amen.

Amen.

¶ A Prayer of Saint Chrysostome.

Almighty God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplications unto thee, and dost promise that when two or three are gathered together in thy Name, thou wilt grant their Requests: fulfill now, O Lord, the desires, and petitions of thy servants, as may be most expedient for them, granting us in this world knowledge of thy truth and in the world to come life everlasting. Amen.
