us lament our abuse of the favors of God, our disregard of His authority, our unbelief and disobedience to the gospel, and the good general prevalence of immorality and vice; and let us beseech Him, for the sake of His Son, to forgive our iniquities, and to draw all our hearts to himself, that a people so highly favored may no more transgress.
And on this occasion, let us commend ourselves and all our social; civil and religious interests to His favor and protection : praying that our spared lives may be devoted to his praise: that succeeding years may be crowned with His goodness: that His wisdom and graces may be abundantly bestowed on all in authority in our State and Nation: that He would continue unimpaired our government, institutions and privileges: that He would never suffer our beloved country to be again involved in war: that He would set up Immanuel’s dominion in every heart, and dwell among us from generations to generation: and that He would soon extend the blessings of liberty, of science, of elective government, of perpetual peace and of gospel light to all that dwell upon the earth.
Given at the Council Chamber, in Portland, the fourth day of October, in the year of our Lord; one thousand eight hundred and twenty four, and in the forty ninth year of the Independence of the United States of America.
