PRINCE EUGENE'S PRAYER.

BELIEVE in thee, O my GoD-do thou strengthen my faith; I hope in thee, confirm my hopes; I love thee, influence my love more and more; I repent me of my sins, but do thou increase my repentance. As my first beginning, I worship thee; as my last end, I long for thee; as my eternal benefactor, I praise thee; and as my supreme benefactor, I pray unto thee, that it may please thee, O LORD, to guide and lead me by thy providence, to keep me in obedience by thy justice, to comfort me by thy mercy, and protect me by thy Almighty power. I submit to thee all my thoughts, words, and actions, as well as my afflictions, pains, and sufferings; and I desire to have thee always in my mind, to do all my works in thy name, and for thy sake to bear all adversity with patience. I desire to will what thou wilt, O GOD, because it is agreeable to thee. Oh, give me grace, that I may be atten

tive in my prayer, temperate in my diet, vigilant in my conduct, and unmoveable in all good purposes. Grant, most merciful LORD, that I may be true and faithful to those who have intrusted me with their secrets; that I may be courteous and kind towards all men; and that both in my words and actions I may show unto them a good example. Dispose my heart to admire and praise thy goodness, to hate all error and evil works, to love my neighbour, and to despise the world. Assist me, good LORD, in subduing lust by mortification, covetousness by liberality, anger by mildness, and lukewarmness by zeal and fervency. Enable me to conduct myself with prudence in all transactions, and to show courage in danger, patience in adversity, and in prosperity an humble mind. Let thy grace illuminate my understanding, direct my will, sanctify my body, and bless my soul. Make me diligent in curbing all irregular affections, zealous in imploring thy grace, careful in keeping thy commandments, and constant in working out my salvation. Finally, O GOD, make me sensible how little is the world, how great thy heavens, how short time, and how

long a blessed eternity. Oh, that I may well prepare myself for death, that I may dread thy judgments; that I may avoid the torment of hell, and obtain of thee, O GOD, eternal life, through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

HYMN I.

GOD! and is thy table spread,
And doth thy cup with love o'erflow?

Thither be all thy children led,

And let them now thy goodness know.

Hail, sacred feast, which Jesus makes,
Memorial of his flesh and blood!
Blest who with lively faith partakes
That sacred cup, that heavenly food.

In faith and love before thy face

With thankful hearts let all attend;
Nor, when we leave this sacred place,
The pleasure nor the profit end.

That strength and energy afford
Which Jesus' blood alone can give ;
That all who thus confess their Lord
Henceforth may to thy glory live.
