Blessed God, our heart praises you, our inmost soul exults in your name, for the Lord is good, and his mercy endures forever. Your people praise you, O God, for all that you have been to them, and we can each one set forth your worthy praise by reason of our personal experience of your goodness.

You have dealt well with your servants, O Lord, according to your Word. We bless you for teaching us from our youth; for some of us have known you, even from our childhood, and your Word was precious to us even in our earlier days, when, like young Samuel, we were spoken to of the Lord.

Oh, that there might not be the power to put aside the Kingdom of God; but may the conscience now be so touched, and girded with strength, that the will may submit, and the judgment yield, and the affections bow, that God may reign over many a heart which has until now been a rebellious province of his domain.

Again we say, “Let the people praise you, O God; yes, let all the people praise you!” Save this assembly this day; let every one that is within these walls, or shall be here, be saved. And now may the good seed drop into furrows that shall welcome it; and from it may there spring a harvest to your glory, O you ever blessed, unto whose name be honor, world without end, through Christ Jesus our Lord.

Let our great cities be swept clean of vice, and infidelity, and superstition. Deliver our country villages and hamlets from the drunkenness and ignorance in which they dwell. Let the whole earth behold the brightness of the coming of the Lord. Let Jesus Christ reign from pole to pole, until he himself shall come openly and manifestly to take to himself his great power, and all the kingdoms surrender themselves into his hands.

And now, Father, save any in this house who remain unreconciled to their God. Touch now, with your sacred finger, some careless heart that may be using even the House of God as a place for the gratification of curiosity, desiring no spiritual gift whatsoever; yet will you be pleased to lay your hand upon that heart, and make it feel that God is near; and may conscience say, “Be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near unto you.”

Bless, we pray, all missionaries, all visitors from house to house, all those who seek to reclaim fallen women or orphans. Let the philanthropic work that is done in our city, ever be under your eye, and be upheld by your gracious hand.

Lord bless all that in any way seeks to make known the savor of the name of Jesus. Oh, give the humblest tongue that tells of Christ to speak with fire, and where the multitudes are gathered together, there give fervor and earnestness, sincerity and depth of power to bring sinners to Jesus. “Let the people praise you, O God, yes, let all the people praise you!”

This morning, be pleased to accept the thanksgivings of your servants for any special mercies received, and especially of one who begs us to thank you for your grace and mercy extended to her, and to the little ones with whom she was about to cross the sea. They went through fire and through water, but still you preserved them; and we pray God speed them on their way to the distant land.

Bless that sister who spends her life in gathering the children in the street, that she may take them to a land where they will be well cared for. Oh Lord, prosper her and all others that in any way seek the good of the poor and needy.

Gracious God, we pray, work in us such a holy love to you, that we may render to you all that we have. We have sometimes said in our soul: “Take not tithe, but take all.” Keep us true to this. May we feel that we are “not our own, but bought with a price,” and let this be no sentiment which ought to have power over us, but a real force which constrains us, because “we thus judge that if one died for all, then all died, and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto Him that died for them and rose again.”

We do pray for grace, that we may spend all our time, every faculty, and all that we possess in glorifying our Lord and Master among the sons of men, in “Works which perfect saints above and holy angels cannot do.”

Lord, if you give us choice to keep our sins and to live in pleasure, or to have them burnt away with trial, we will say to you, Lord, give us the sanctified affliction, but deliver us from all the influences of sin, from every evil habit, from all the accretions of former sin, all the ore that is mixed with the precious metal, everything that diminishes the brightness of your grace in us; everything that keeps you from taking delight in us, take it away, we beseech you.

If this life is to be to your people the crucible and the burning heat, even to a white heat, so let it be, so long as you sit at the furnace mouth, to watch the ore that nothing should be lost. Oh, blessed God, help any of your children that are in the midst of the heat now. Let them see the Lord sitting near and watching, and let them feel perfectly at ease, because in his hands all things must be well.

Lord, we desire this morning to contemplate with admiration your ways toward us. You have put some of us into the furnace: There is no child of yours who does not know something of the heat of the furnace; and we perceive that you are a refiner to us, and that the fire is meant to consume our dross and tin; therefore do we thank you for it.

For all the acts of discipline to which we are subject, we would praise the wisdom and the love of our divine Father. You would not have us live in sin; sin is much worse than furnace work. All the trial in the world is not so hard to carry as a sense of sin.

Behold, none can lay anything to the charge of your people, seeing all was laid on him, upon whom the transgression of your people was laid of old, by your own hand; and now, washed in his precious blood, and clothed in his matchless righteousness, we know that despite our faults, we stand accepted in the Beloved; for which again we bless you.

Deep down in our hearts shall the song begin, in humiliation of spirit because of our offences, but it shall rise to the very heights of heaven, while with exultation we behold how we are “raised up together and made to sit in the heavenly places,” and are presented in Christ Jesus “without spot or wrinkle or any such thing.”

Lord, will you listen to us while we confess before you how unworthy we have been of all your goodness; for we are a sinful generation, even as our fathers were? We have sinned, times without number; and even those of us who are your people, and have been born into your house, we have even more than others to mourn over our sin; for you have made us more sensible of it, and we have sinned against greater light, which we do sorrowfully confess.

Our sins of pride, of unbelief, of hasty judgment of your providence, our neglect of searching into your mind in the Word, our neglect of possessing your mind in our daily life, our transgressions and our shortcomings, make against us a great list of accusations. But we bless you that they will not stand as accusations; for, behold, none can lay anything to the charge of your people, seeing all was laid on your Son.
