Evening Prayer - William Barclay

Eternal God,

who gave us this day,

and who now at evening time are taking it back to Yourself,

forgive us for all which today we did not do.

Forgive us for any word of comfort, of praise, of thanks,

which we might have spoken, and did not speak.

Forgive us for any help we might have give to someone in need, and did not give

Forgive us if today we have made things more difficult for anyone.

For give us if by word or action we have set a bad example to anyone,

and have made it easier for another to wrong.

Forgive us if today we have been disloyal to any friend,

or if we have hurt the hearts of those whom above all we ought to cherish.

Grant us this night Your gift of sleep;

and grant us grace that tomorrow we may walk more close to You;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen

Apostles" Creed

I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary: Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell: The third day he rose again from the dead:He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty: From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead: I believe in the Holy Ghost: I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of saints: The forgiveness of sins: The resurrection of the body: And the life everlasting. Amen.

The Nicene Creed

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
