THE
SIXTH HOUR
OF
PRAYER,
AT THE
Twelfth or Last Hour of the Day,
About VI. in the Evening.
Deut. 32. 29.
O that they were wise, that they
understood this, that they would con∣sider
their latter end.
Job 14. 1, 2.
Man that is born of a woman is of
few days, and full of trouble: he
cometh forth like a flower, and is cut
down; he fleeth also as a shadow,
and continueth not.
descriptionPage 86
PRaise the Lord,* 1.1 O
my Soul, and all
that is within me praise
his holy Name.
Praise the Lord, O my Soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
Which forgiveth all thy sin,
and healeth all thy infirmities;
Which saveth thy life from de∣struction,
and crowneth thee with
mercy and loving kindness.
OUR Father which art in
Heaven, Hallowed be thy
Name, Thy Kingdom come,
Thy Will be done 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.
descriptionPage 87
O Lord, open thou my lips.
And my mouth shall shew forth
thy praise.
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.
Psal. 90.
LOrd Thou hast been our re∣fuge
from one generation to
another.
Before the mountains were
brought forth, or ever the earth
and the world were made, Thou
art God from everlasting, and
world without end.
Thou turnest man to destructi∣on:
again thou sayest, come
again ye children of men.
For a thousand years in thy
sight are but as yesterday, seeing
that is past as a watch in the
night.
descriptionPage 88
As soon as thou scatterest them
they are even as a sleep, and fade
away suddenly like the grass:
In the morning it is green, and
groweth up; but in the evening
it is cut down, dried up and wi∣thered.
For we consume away in thy
displeasure, and are afraid at thy
wrathful indignation.
Thou hast set our misdeeds be∣fore
thee, and our secret sins in
the sight of thy countenance.
For when Thou art angry, all
our days are gone; we bring our
years to an end, as it were a tale
that is told.
The days of our age are three∣score
years and ten; and though
men be so strong that they come
to fourscore years, yet is their
strength then but labour and sor∣row;
so soon passeth it away, and
we are gone.
But who regardeth the power
of thy wrath? for even thereafter
descriptionPage 89
as a man feareth, so is thy dis∣pleasure.
O teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts un∣to
wisdom.
Turn Thee again, O Lord, at
the last, and be gracious unto thy
servants.
O satisfie us with thy mercy
and that soon; so shall we rejoyce
and be glad all the days of our
life.
Comfort us again now after
the time that thou hast plagued
us, and for the years wherein we
have suffered adversity.
Shew thy servants thy work,
and their children thy glory.
And the glorious Majesty of the
Lord our God be upon us. Pro∣sper
Thou the work of our hands
upon us, O prosper Thou our
handy-work.
Glory be to the Father, and to
the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
descriptionPage 90
As it was in the beginning, is
now, and ever shall be world
without end. Amen.
The Song of S. Mary.
MY soul doth
magnifie the
Lord,* 1.2 and my spirit
hath rejoyced in God my Savi∣our.
For he hath regarded the low∣liness
of his hand-maiden.
For behold from henceforth all
generations shall call me blessed:
For he that is Mighty hath mag∣nified
me, and Holy is his name.
And his mercy is on them that
fear him throughout all generati∣ons.
He hath shewed strength with
his arm, he hath scattered the
proud in the imagination of their
hearts;
He hath put down the mighty
descriptionPage 91
from their seat, and hath exalted
the humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with
good things, and the rich he hath
sent empty away.
He remembring his mercy hath
holpen his servant Israel, as he
promised to our forefathers
Abraham and his seed for ever.
Glory be to the Father, and
to the Son, and to the Holy
Ghost.
As it wrs in the beginning, is
now, and ever shall be world
without end. Amen.
O Lord God, who hast created
the light and darkness, and
by the continual interchanges of
day and night puttest us in mind
of our transitory condition, and
the shortness of our abode here,
Give us grace to set
our selves about the
work of salvation,* 1.3
descriptionPage 92
while the day of salvation lasteth;
that when the night of death
cometh, and our Lord shall call
us to account, we may receive the
reward of good and
faithful servants,* 1.4 and
enter into the joy of
our Master Jesus Christ. Amen.
NOW our Lord
Jesus Christ him∣self,* 1.5
and God even our
Father, which hath loved us,
and hath given us everlasting con∣solation,
and good hope through
grace, comfort our hearts, and
stablish us in every good word and
work.
