Book excerpt: Excerpt from Book of Family Prayer: Bible Lessons With Meditations for Each Day, Arranged After the Church Year God, be gracious unto us, bless us, and maize thy face to shine upon us. Amen. Gospel Lesson, Matthew 21, 1 - 9. And when they drew nigh unto Jeru sale-m, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them. All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon. And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. And the multitudes that went before, and that fol lowed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he'that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest! Jesus Christ is the king of the church. He governs it with meek ness and justice, and defends it with divine omnipotence. Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, who took our sin upon himself, who died for us on the cross, and bought us with his blood; he is our king. What a wealth of joy and comfort there is in this truth! In the heart of every Christian is the prayer: Lord Jesus, rule thou over us. Thou, and none other, shalt own my heart. Do thou protect us; thou alone art our sun and our shield, and we will have none other beside thee. - Than the words which we hear today, rejoice exceedingly, daughter of Zion; behold, thy King, the Lord Jesus, cometh unto thee, nothing more glorious could be said to us on the first day of the church year; it is the best possible answer to the prayer of the Christian heart.
