THE everlasting | God, the Lord,

Isaiah 40.

The Creator of the ends of the earth, | fainteth not, nor is weary.

2 He giveth | power to the faint;

{

S

And to them that have no | might, he increaseth strength.

00

3 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall | utterly fall; But they that wait upon the | Lord shall renew their strength;

4 They shall mount | up with wings as eagles:

52.

They shall run and not be weary; they shall | walk and not-faint.

1 FEAR not, for | I am with thee;

Isaiah 41, 43, & 54.

Be not dismayed, for | I-am thy God.

2 I will strengthen thee: yea, | I will help thee;

Yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

3 Fear not, for I have re | deemed thee:

I have called thee by thy | name, - thou art mine:

4 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; And through the rivers, they | shall not overflow thee.

5 For a small moment have I for | saken thee;

But with great mercies | will I gather thee.

6 (In a little wrath I hid my face from thee | for a moment;

But with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the | Lord - thy Redeemer.

7 For the mountains shall depart, and the | hills be removed;

But my kindness shall not depart from thee.

8 Neither shall the covenant of my | peace be removed; Saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

9 (0 thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, not | comforted;

Behold I will lay thy stones with fair colors, and thy foun | da- tions with sapphires;

10 (And I will make thy | windows of agates,

And thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy | borders of pleasant stones.

1 HE is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and ac | quainted with grief.

And we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised and we es | teemed

him not.

2 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and | carried our sorrows;

Yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

3 But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our in | iquities: The chastisement of our peace was upon him; and by his | stripes we are healed. 4 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his | own-way; And the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

5 He was oppressed, and afflicted;

Yet he opened | not his mouth.

6 He is brought as a | lamb to the slaughter,

7

And as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth | not his mouth.

He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who shall declare his | gen

eration?

For he was cut off out of the land of the living; for the transgression of my people | was he stricken.

8 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the | rich in his death; Because he hath done no violence, neither was any deceit | in his mouth. 9 (Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; yea, he hath | put him to grief; When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall pro long his days.

10 S And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hands.

He shall see of the travail of his soul and shall be | satisfied. 11 (By his knowledge shall my righteous servant | justify many; For he shall bear their iniquities;

12 Therefore will I divide him a portion | with the great, And he shall divide the | spoil with the strong.

13 Because he hath poured out his | soul unto death: And he was numbered | with the transgressors;

14 And he bare the sin of many,

And made intercession for | the transgressors.

1 ARISE, shine, for thy | light is come,

And the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

2 S For behold the darkness shall | cover the earth, And gross darkness the people.

3 But the Lord shall a | rise upon thee;

And his glory | shall be seen upon thee;

4 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light,

And kings to the | brightness of thy rising.

5(Violence shall no more be heard in thy land; wasting and destruction with | in

thy borders.

But thou shalt call thy walls salvation, and thy gates - praise.

6 The sun shall be no more thy | light by day,

Neither for brightness shall the | moon give light unto thee.

7 But the Lord God shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory; Thy sun shall no more go down, neither shall thy | moon withdraw itself:

8 For the Lord shall be thine ever | lasting light,

And the days of thy | mourning shall be ended.

9 (I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful | in my God;

For he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness:

10 For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it | to spring forth;

So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring | forth before all

nations.

11 (For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, Until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burneth.

12 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all | kings thy glory;

And thou shalt be called by a new name which the mouth of the Lord shall name.

1 J My soul doth magnify the Lord,

Luke 1: 46.

And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour;

2 For he hath regarded the low estate of | his handmaiden;

For behold, from henceforth all gener | ations shall call me blessed.

3 For he that is mighty hath done to | me great things;

And holy is his name.

4 And his mercy is on | them that fear him,

From generation to generation.

5 He hath shewed | strength with his arm;

He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

6 He hath put down the mighty | from their seats;

And exalted them of low degree.

7 He hath filled the hungry | with good things; And the rich he hath | sent empty away.

8 He hath holpen his servant Israel in remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed forever.

king - dom of heaven.

2 Blessed are they that mourn; For they shall be comforted.

3 Blessed are the meek;

For they shall inherit the earth.

4(Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after | righteousness; For they shall be filled.

5 Blessed are the | merciful;

For they shall obtain - mercy.

6 (Blessed are the | pure in heart;

For they shall see

God.

7(Blessed are the peace-makers;

For they shall be called the children of God.

8 Blessed are they which are persecuted for | righteousness' sake; For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

58.

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.

Isaiah 55 & Matt. 11.

1 SEEK ye the Lord while he | may be found;
Call ye upon him | while - he is near.

2 Let the wicked for - | sake his way,
And the un- | righteous man his thoughts;

3 And let him return un- | to the Lord.
And he will have | mercy upon him:

4 And to our God,

For he will abundantly-pardon.

1 COME unto me, all ye that labor and are | heavy laden, And I will give you rest.

2 Take my yoke upon you, and | learn of me;
For I am meek and lowly in heart:

3 (And ye shall find rest un - | to your souls;
For my yoke is easy, and my | burden is light.
