Lord bless us, and all the Gifts which we receive from thee;
through Jesus Christ, our Lord. AMEN.

GRACE after MEAT.

The God of all Glory and Power, who hath created, redeemed, and
presently fed us, be blessed and praised, both now and for evermore.
AMEN.

_Song of the Angels at the Nativity of our blessed Saviour_,
Luke ii, from verse 8, to verse 15.

While Shepherds watch'd their Flocks by Night,
All seated on the Ground,
The Angel of the Lord came down,
And Glory shone around.

"Fear not said he," for mighty Dread,
"Had seized their troubled Mind;
"Glad Tidings of great Joy I bring
"To you and all Mankind.

"To you, in David's Town this Day,
"Is born, of David's Line,
"The Saviour who is Christ the Lord,
"And this shall be the Sign:

"The heav'nly Babe you there shall find
"To human View display'd,
"All meanly wrapp'd in Swathing-bands,
"And in a Manger laid."

Thus spake the Seraph; and forthwith
Appear'd a shining Throng
Of Angels, praising God, and thus
Address'd their joyful Song:

"All Glory be to God on high,
"And to the Earth be Peace:
"Good-Will, henceforth, from Heav'n to Men,
"Begin and never cease."

For EASTER-DAY.

Since Christ, our Passover, is slain
A Sacrifice for all:
Let all with thankful Hearts agree
To keep the Festival:

Not with the Leaven, as of old,
Of Sin and Malice fed;
But with unfeign'd Sincerity,
And Truth's unleaven'd Bread.

Christ being rais'd by Pow'r Divine,
And rescu'd from the Grave,
Shall die no more, Death shall on him
No more Dominion have.

For that he dy'd, 'twas for our Sins
He once vouchsaf'd to die:
But that he lives, he lives to God
For all Eternity.

So count yourselves as dead to Sin,
But graciously restor'd,
And made henceforth alive to God,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.

To Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
The God whom we adore,
Be glory, as it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.
