O God, make speed to save me.
O Lord, make haste
to help me.
Glory be, &c. Amen.
Hallelujah. |
(aa) Hymn
[Jam lucis orto.] |
The star of morn to night succeeds,
We therefore meekly pray,
May God in all our words and deeds
Keep us from harm this day.
May he in love restrain us still
From tones of strife and words of ill,
And wrap around and close our eyes
To earth's absorbing vanities.May wrath and thoughts that gender shame
Ne'er in our breasts abide,
And painful abstinences tame
Of wanton flesh the pride:
So when the weary day is o'er
And night and stillness come once more,
Blameless and clean from spot of earth
We may repeat, with reverent mirth,
Praise to the Father, as is meet,
Praise to the only Son,
Praise to the Holy Paraclete,
While endless ages run. Amen. |
| (bb) Antiphon |
Praise ye the Lord. |
| Psalm 53. (1) |
Save me, O God, for thy
Name's sake: and avenge me in
thy strength.
Hear my prayer, O God: and hearken unto the
words of
my mouth.
For strangers are risen up against me: and
tyrants, which
have not God before their eyes, seek after my soul.
Behold, God is my helper: the Lord is with
them that
uphold my soul.
He shall reward evil unto mine enemies:
destroy thou
them in thy truth.
An offering of a free heart will I give thee,
and praise thy
Name, O Lord: because it is so comfortable. {56}
For he hath delivered me out of all my
trouble: and mine
eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies. Glory be, &c. |
| Psalm 118. (2) |
O give thanks unto the Lord,
for he is gracious: because
his mercy endureth for ever.
Let Israel now confess, that he is gracious:
and that his
mercy endureth for ever.
Let the house of Aaron now confess: that his
mercy en-
dureth for ever.
Yea, let them now that fear the Lord confess:
that his
mercy endureth for ever.
I called upon the Lord in trouble: and the
Lord heard
me at large.
The Lord is on my side: I will not fear what
man doeth
unto me.
The Lord taketh my part with them that help
me: there-
fore shall I see my desire upon mine enemies.
It is better to trust in the Lord: than to
put any confi-
dence in man.
It is better to trust in the Lord: than to
put any confi-
dence in princes.
All nations compassed me round about: but in
the Name
of the Lord will I destroy them.
They kept me in on every side, they kept me
in, I say,
on every side: but in the Name of the Lord will I destroy
them.
They came about me like bees, and are extinct
even as
the fire among the thorns: for in the name of the Lord I
will destroy them.
Thou hast thrust sore at me, that I might
fall: but the
Lord was my help.
The Lord is my strength, and my song: and is
become
my salvation.
The voice of joy and health is in the
dwellings of the
righteous: the right hand of the Lord bringeth mighty
things to pass.
The right hand of the Lord hath the
pre-eminence: the
right hand of the Lord bringeth mighty things to pass.
I shall not die, but live: and declare the
words of the
Lord.
The Lord hath chastened and corrected me: but
he hath
not given me over unto death.
Open me the gates of righteousness: that I
may go into
them, and give thanks unto the Lord.
This is the gate of the Lord: the righteous
shall enter
into it. {57}
I will thank thee, for thou hast heard me:
and art become
my salvation.
The same stone which the builders refused: is
become the
head-stone in the corner.
This is the Lord's doing: and it is
marvellous in our eyes.
This is the day which the Lord hath made: we
will re-
joice and be glad in it.
Help me now, O Lord: O Lord, send us now
prosperity.
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the
Lord: we
have wished you good luck, ye that are of the house of the
Lord.
God is the Lord who hath showed us light:
bind the sa-
crifice with cords; yea, even unto the horns of the altar.
Thou art my God, and I will thank thee: thou
art my
God, and I will praise thee.
O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is
gracious: and his
mercy endureth for ever. Glory be, &c. |
Psalm 119 (3)
1-16. |
Blessed are those that are
undefiled in the way: and walk
in the law of the Lord.
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies:
and seek him
with their whole heart.
For they who do no wickedness: walk in his
ways.
Thou hast charged: that we shall diligently
keep thy com-
mandments.
O that my ways were made so direct: that I
might keep
thy statutes!
So shall I not be confounded: while I have
respect unto
all thy commandments.
I will thank thee with an unfeigned heart:
when I shall
have learned the judgments of thy righteousness.
I will keep thy ceremonies: O forsake me not
utterly.
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his
way: even by
ruling himself after thy word.
With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let
me not go
wrong out of thy commandments.
Thy words have I hid within my heart: that I
should not
sin against thee.
Blessed art thou, O Lord: O teach me thy statutes.
With my lips have I been telling: of all the
judgments of
thy mouth.
I have had as great delight in the way of thy
testimonies:
as in all manner of riches.
I will talk of thy commandments: and have
respect unto
thy ways.
My delight shall be in thy statutes: and I
will not forget
thy word. Glory be, &c. {58} |
Psalm 119. (4)
17-32. |
O do well unto thy servant: that I may live
and keep thy
word.
Open thou mine eyes: that I may see the
wondrous things
of thy law.
I am a stranger upon earth: O hide not thy
command-
ments from me.
My soul breaketh out for the very fervent
desire: that it
hath alway unto thy judgment.
Thou hast rebuked the proud: and cursed are
they that
do err from thy commandments.
O turn from me shame and rebuke: for I have
kept thy
testimonies.
Princes also did sit and speak against me:
but thy servant
is occupied in thy statutes.
For thy testimonies are my delight: and my
counsellors.
My soul cleaveth to the dust: O quicken thou
me, accord-
ing to thy word.
I have acknowledged my ways, and thou
heardest me: O
teach me thy statutes.
Make me to understand the way of thy
commandments:
and so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.
My soul melteth away for very heaviness:
comfort thou
me according unto thy word.
Take from me the way of lying: and cause thou
me to
make much of thy law.
I have chosen the way of truth: and thy
judgments have I
laid before me.
I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O Lord,
confound me
not.
I will run the way of thy commandments: when
thou hast
set my heart at liberty. Glory be, &c. |
The Creed of
St. Athanasius |
Whosoever will be saved: before all things it
is necessary
that he hold the Catholic Faith.
Which Faith except every one do keep whole
and unde-
filed: without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.
And the Catholic Faith is this: That we
worship one God
in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity.
Neither confounding the Persons: nor dividing
the sub-
stance.
For there is one Person of the Father,
another of the Son:
and another of the Holy Ghost.
But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son,
and of the
Holy Ghost, is all one: the Glory equal, the Majesty co-
eternal.
Such as the Father is, such is the Son: and
such as the Holy
Ghost. {59}
The Father uncreate, the Son uncreate: and
the Holy
Ghost uncreate.
The Father incomprehensible, the Son
incomprehensible:
and the Holy Ghost incomprehensible.
The Father eternal, the Son eternal: and the
Holy Ghost
eternal.
And yet they are not three eternals: but one
eternal.
And also there are not three
incomprehensibles, nor three
uncreated: but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible.
So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son
Almighty:
and the Holy Ghost Almighty.
And yet they are not three Almighties: but
one Almighty.
So the Father is God, the Son is God: and the
Holy
Ghost is God.
And yet they are not three Gods: but one God.
So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord:
and the
Holy Ghost Lord.
And yet not three Lords: but one Lord.
For like as we are compelled by the Christian
verity: to
acknowledge every person by himself to be God and Lord;
So we are forbidden by the Catholic Religion:
to say,
There be three Gods, or three Lords.
The Father is made of none: neither created,
nor be-
gotten.
The Son is of the Father alone: not made, nor
created, but
begotten.
The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the
Son: neither
made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.
So there is one Father, not three Fathers;
one Son, not
three Sons; one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.
And in this Trinity none is afore, or after
other: none is
greater, or less than another.
But the whole three Persons are co-eternal
together: and
co-equal.
So that in all things, as is aforesaid: the
Unity in Trinity,
and the Trinity in Unity, is to be worshipped.
He therefore that will be saved: must thus
think of the
Trinity.
Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting
salvation: that
he also believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
For the right Faith is, that we believe and
confess: that our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man;
God, of the Substance of the Father, begotten
before the
worlds: and Man, of the Substance of his Mother, born in the
world. {60}
Perfect God, and perfect Man: of a reasonable
soul, and
human flesh subsisting:
Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead:
and infe-
rior to the Father, as touching his Manhood.
Who although he be God and man: yet he is not
two, but
one Christ.
One; not by conversion of the Godhead into
flesh: but by
taking of the Manhood into God;
One altogether; not by confusion of
substance: but by
unity of Person.
For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one
man: so God
and Man is one Christ.
Who suffered for our salvation: descended
into hell, rose
again the third day from the dead.
He ascended into heaven; he sitteth on the
right hand of
the Father, God Almighty: from whence he shall come to
judge the quick and the dead.
At whose coming all men shall rise again with
their
bodies: and shall give account of their own works.
And they that have done good shall go into
life everlast-
ing: and they that have done evil, into everlasting fire.
This is the Catholic Faith: which except a
man believe
faithfully, he cannot be saved. Glory be, &c. |

And stablish me with Thy free Spirit. |

Come, Holy Ghost, who ever One
Art with the Father and the Son;

With Thy full flood of Holiness.

To herald forth our Creed divine,

(kk) Antiphon
Psalm 119 (1)
33-48. |
Praise ye the Lord.
Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes:
and I shall
keep it unto the end.
Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy
law: yea,
I shall keep it with my whole heart.
Make me to go in the path of thy
commandments: for
therein is my desire.
Incline my heart unto thy testimonies: and
not to
covetousness.
O turn away mine eyes lest they behold
vanity: and
quicken thou me in thy way.
O stablish thy word in thy servant: that I
may fear thee.
Take away the rebuke that I am afraid of: for
thy judg-
ments are good.
Behold, my delight is in thy commandments: O
quicken
me in thy righteousness.
Let thy loving mercy come also unto me, O
Lord: even
thy salvation, according unto thy word.
So shall I make answer unto my blasphemers:
for my
trust is in thy word. {65}
O take not the word of thy truth utterly out
of my month:
for my hope is in thy judgments.
So shall I alway keep thy law: yea, for ever
and ever.
And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy
commandments.
I will speak of thy testimonies also, even
before kings:
and will not be ashamed.
And my delight shall be in thy commandments:
which I
have loved.
My hands also will I lift up unto thy
commandments,
which I have loved: and my study shall be in thy statutes.
Glory, &c. |
Psalm 119. (2)
49-64. |
O think upon thy servant, as concerning thy
word: where-
in thou hast caused me to put my trust.
The same is my comfort in my trouble: for thy
word hath
quickened me.
The proud have had me exceedingly in
derision: yet have
I not shrinked from thy law.
For I remembered thine everlasting judgments,
O Lord:
and received comfort.
I am horribly afraid: for the ungodly that
forsake thy
law.
Thy statutes have been my songs: in the house
of my
pilgrimage.
I have thought upon thy Name, O Lord, in the
night-
season: and have kept thy law.
This I had: because I kept thy commandments.
Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have promised
to keep
thy law.
I made my humble petition in thy presence
with my whole
heart: O be merciful unto me, according to thy word.
I called mine own ways to remembrance: and
turned my
feet unto thy testimonies.
I made haste, and prolonged not the time: to
keep thy
commandments.
The congregations of the ungodly have robbed
me: but I
have not forgotten thy law.
At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto
thee: because
of thy righteous judgments.
I am a companion of all them that fear thee:
and keep
thy commandments.
The earth, O Lord, is full of thy mercy: O
teach me thy
statutes. Glory be, &c. |
Psalm 119. (3)
65-80. |
O Lord, thou hast dealt graciously with thy
servant: ac-
cording unto thy word.
O learn me true understanding and knowledge:
for I have
believed thy commandments. {66}
Before I was troubled, I went wrong: but now
have I
kept thy word.
Thou art good and gracious: O teach me thy
statutes.
The proud have imagined a lie against me: but
I will
keep thy commandments with my whole heart.
Their heart is as fat as brawn: but my
delight hath been
in thy law.
It is good for me that I have been in
trouble: that I may
learn thy statutes.
The law of thy mouth is dearer unto me: than
thousands
of gold and silver.
Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: O
give me
understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
They that fear thee will be glad when they
see me: be-
cause I have put my trust in thy word.
I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right:
and that
thou of very faithfulness hast caused me to be troubled.
O let thy merciful kindness be my comfort:
according to
thy word unto thy servant.
O let thy loving mercies come unto me, that I
may live:
for thy law is my delight.
Let the proud be confounded, for they go
wickedly about
to destroy me: but I will be occupied in thy commandments.
Let such as fear thee, and have known thy
testimonies:
be turned unto me.
O let my heart be sound in thy statutes: that
I be not
ashamed. Glory be, &c. |

(oo) Hymn
[Rector potens,
verax Deus.] |
O God, the Lord of place and time,
Who orderest all things prudently,
Brightening with beams the opening prime,
And burning in the mid-day sky.
Quench Thou the fires of hate and strife,
The wasting fever of the heart;
From perils guard our feeble life,
And to our souls Thy peace impart.
This grace on Thy redeemed confer,
Father, Co-equal Son,
And Holy Ghost, the Comforter,
Eternal Three in One.—Amen. |
(pp) Antiphon
Psalm 119. (1)
81-96. |
Praise ye the Lord.
My soul hath longed for thy salvation: and I
have a good
hope, because of thy word.
Mine eyes long sore for thy word: saying, O
when wilt
thou comfort me?
For I am become like a bottle in the smoke:
yet do I not
forget thy statutes.
How many are the days of thy servant: when
wilt thou
be avenged of them that persecute me
The proud have digged pits for me: which are
not after
thy law.
All thy commandments are true: they persecute
me
falsely; O be thou my help.
They had almost made an end of me upon earth:
but I
forsook not thy commandments.
O quicken me after thy loving-kindness: and
so shall I
keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
O Lord, thy word: endureth for ever in
heaven.
Thy truth also remaineth from one generation
to another:
thou hast laid the foundation of the earth, and it abideth. {69}
They continue this day according to thine
ordinance: for
all things serve thee.
If my delight had not been in thy law: I
should have
perished in my trouble.
I will never forget thy commandments: for
with them thou
hast quickened me.
I am thine, O save me: for I have sought thy
command-
ments.
The ungodly laid wait for me, to destroy me:
but I will
consider thy testimonies.
I see that all things come to an end: but thy
command-
ment is exceeding broad. Glory be, &c. |
Psalm 119. (2)
97-112. |
Lord, what love have I unto
thy law: all the day long is
my study in it!
Thou, through thy commandments, hast made me
wiser
than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
I have more understanding than my teachers:
for thy
testimonies are my study.
I am wiser than the aged: because I keep thy
command-
ments.
I have refrained my feet from every evil way:
that I may
keep thy word.
I have not shrunk from thy judgments: for
thou teachest
me.
O how sweet are thy words unto my throat:
yea, sweeter
than honey unto my mouth!
Through thy commandments I get understanding:
there-
fore I hate all evil ways.
Thy word is a lantern unto my feet: and a
light unto my
paths.
I have sworn, and am stedfastly purposed: to
keep thy
righteous judgments.
I am troubled above measure: quicken me, O
Lord, ac-
cording to thy word.
Let the free-will offerings of my mouth
please thee, O
Lord: and teach me thy judgments.
My soul is always in my hand: yet do I not
forget thy law.
The ungodly have laid a snare for me: but yet
I swerved
not from thy commandments.
Thy testimonies have I claimed as mine
heritage for ever:
and why? they are the very joy of my heart.
I have applied my heart to fulfil thy
statutes always: even
unto the end. Glory be, &c. |
Psalm 119 (3)
113-128. |
I hate them that imagine evil
things: but thy law do I love.
Thou art my defence and shield: and my trust
is in thy
word. {70}
Away from me, ye wicked: I will keep the
command-
ments of my God.
O establish me according to thy word, that I
may live:
and let me not be disappointed of my hope.
Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: yea, my
delight
shall be ever in thy statutes.
Thou hast trodden down all them that depart
from thy
statutes: for they imagine but deceit.
Thou puttest away all the ungodly of the
earth like dross:
therefore I love thy testimonies.
My flesh trembleth for fear of thee: and I am
afraid of
thy judgments.
I deal with the thing that is lawful and
right: O give me
not over unto mine oppressors.
Make thou thy servant to delight in that
which is good:
that the proud do me no wrong.
Mine eyes are wasted away with looking for
thy health:
and for the word of thy righteousness.
O deal with thy servant according unto thy
loving-mercy:
and teach me thy statutes.
I am thy servant; O grant me understanding;
that I may
know thy testimonies.
It is time for thee, Lord, to lay to thine
hand: for they
have destroyed thy law.
For I love thy commandments: above gold and
precious
stone.
Therefore hold I straight all thy
commandments: and all
false ways I utterly abhor. Glory be, &c. |

Praise ye the Lord.
Thy testimonies are wonderful: therefore doth
my soul
keep them.
When thy word goeth forth: it giveth light
and under-
standing unto the simple.
I opened my mouth, and drew in my breath: for
my de-
light was in thy commandments.
O look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me;
as thou
usest to do unto those that love thy Name.
Order my steps in thy word: and so shall no
wickedness
have dominion over me.
O deliver me from the wrongful dealings of
men; and so
shall I keep thy commandments.
Shew the light of thy countenance upon thy
servant: and
teach me thy statutes.
Mine eyes gush out with water: because men
keep not
thy law.
Righteous art thou, O Lord: and true is thy
judgment!
The testimonies that thou hast commanded: are
exceed-
ing righteous and true.
My zeal hath even consumed me, because mine
enemies
have forgotten thy words. {73}
Thy word is tried to the uttermost: and thy
servant
loveth it.
I am small and of no reputation: yet do I not
forget thy
commandments.
Thy righteousness is an everlasting
righteousness: and thy
law is the truth.
Trouble and heaviness have taken hold upon
me: yet is
my delight in thy commandments.
The righteousness of thy testimonies is
everlasting: O
grant me understanding, and I shall live. Glory be, &c. |
Psalm 119. (2)
145-160. |
I call with my whole heart:
hear me, O Lord, I will keep

Yea, even unto thee do I call: help me, and I
shall keep
thy testimonies.
Early in the morning do I cry unto thee: for
in thy word
is my trust.
Mine eyes prevent the night-watches: that I
might be
occupied in thy words.
Hear my voice, O Lord, according unto thy
loving-kind-
ness: quicken me according as thou art wont.
They draw nigh that of malice persecute me:
and are far
from thy law.
Be thou nigh at hand, O Lord, for all thy
commandments
are true.
As concerning thy testimonies I have known
long since:
that thou hast grounded them for ever.
O consider mine adversity, and deliver me:
for I do not
forget thy law.
Avenge thou my cause, and deliver me: quicken
me ac-
cording to thy word.
Health is far from the ungodly: for they
regard not thy
statutes.
Great is thy mercy, O Lord: quicken me, as
thou art wont.
Many there are that trouble me, and persecute
me: yet
do I not swerve from thy testimonies.
It grieveth me when I see the transgressors:
because they
keep not thy law.
Consider, O Lord, how I love thy
commandments: O
quicken me according to thy loving-kindness.
Thy word is true from everlasting: all the
judgments of
thy righteousness endure for evermore. Glory be, &c. |
Psalm 119. (3)

Princes have persecuted me
without a cause: but my heart
standeth in awe of thy word.
I am as glad of thy word: as one that findeth
great spoils.
As for lies, I hate and abhor them: but thy
law do I
love. {74}
Seven times a day do I praise thee: because
of thy righte-
ous judgments.
Great is the peace that they have who love
thy law: and
they are not offended at it.
Lord, I have looked for thy saving health:
and done after
thy commandments.
My soul hath kept thy testimonies: and loved
them ex-
ceedingly.
I have kept thy commandments and testimonies:
for all
my ways are before thee.
Let my complaint come before thee, O Lord:
give me un-
derstanding according to thy word.
Let my supplication come before thee: deliver
me accord-
ing to thy word.
My lips shall speak of thy praise: when thou
hast taught
me thy statutes.
Yea, my tongue shall sing of thy word: for
all thy com-
mandments are righteous.
Let thine hand help me: for I have chosen thy
command-
ments.
I have longed for thy saving health, O Lord:
and in thy
law is my delight.
O let my soul live, and it shall praise thee:
and thy judg-

All His commandments.
I will give thanks unto the Lord with
my whole heart:
secretly among the faithful, and in the congregation.
The works of the Lord are great:
sought out of all them
that have pleasure therein.
His work is worthy to be praised, and
had in honour: and
his righteousness endureth for ever.
The merciful and gracious Lord hath so
done his marvel-
lous works: that they ought to be had in remembrance.
He hath given meat unto them that fear
him: he shall
ever be mindful of his covenant.
He hath showed his people the power of
his works; that
he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
The works of his hands are verity and
judgment: all his
commandments are true.
They stand fast for ever and ever:
amid are done in truth
and equity. {77}
He sent redemption unto his people: he
hath commanded
his covenant for ever; holy and reverend is his Name.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning
of wisdom: a good
understanding have all they that do thereafter; the praise
of it endureth for ever. Glory be, &c. |

His seed shall be mighty upon earth:
the generation of
the faithful shall be blessed.
Riches and plenteousness shall be in
his house: and his
righteousness endureth for ever.
Unto the godly there ariseth up light
in the darkness:
he is merciful, loving, and righteous.
A good man is merciful, and lendeth:
and will guide his
words with discretion.
For he shall never be moved: and the
righteous shall be
had in everlasting remembrance.
He will not be afraid of any evil
tidings: for his heart
standeth fast, and believeth in the Lord.
His heart is established, and will not
shrink: until he
see his desire upon his enemies.
He hath dispersed abroad, and given to
the poor: and
his righteousness remaineth for ever; his horn shall be
exalted with honour.
The ungodly shall see it, and it shall
grieve him: he
shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away; the desire
of the ungodly shall perish. Glory be, &c. |

He taketh up the simple out of the
dust: and lifteth the
poor out of the mire. {78}

even with the

He maketh the barren woman to keep

Psalm 114 and
115. (5) |
We who live.
When Israel came out of Egypt: and the
house of Jacob
from among the strange people,
Judah was his sanctuary: and Israel
his dominion.
The sea saw that, and fled: Jordan was
driven back.
The mountains skipped like rams: and
the little hills
like young sheep.
What aileth thee, O thou sea, that
thou fleddest: and
thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
Ye mountains, that ye skipped like
rams: and ye little
hills like young sheep?
Tremble, thou earth, at the presence
of the Lord: at the
presence of the God of Jacob;
Who turned the hard rock into a
standing water: and
the flint-stone into a springing well.
Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but
unto thy Name give
the praise: for thy loving mercy, and for thy truth's sake.
Wherefore shall the heathen say: Where
is now their
God?
As for our God, he is in heaven: he
hath done whatso-
ever pleased him.
Their idols are silver and gold: even
the work of men's
hands.
They have mouths and speak not: eyes
have they, and
see not.
They have ears and hear not: noses
have they and smell
not.
They have hands, and handle not; feet
have they, and
walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
They that make them are like unto
them: and so are all
such as put their trust in them.
But thou, house of Israel, trust thou
in the Lord: he
is their succour and defence.
Ye house of Aaron, put your trust in
the Lord: he is
their helper and defender.
Ye that fear the Lord, put your trust
in the Lord: he is
their helper and defender.
The Lord hath been mindful of us, and
he shall bless us:
even he shall bless the house of Israel, he shall bless the
the house of Aaron. {79}
He shall bless them that fear the
Lord: both small and
great.
The Lord shall increase you more and
more: you and
your children.
Ye are the blessed of the Lord: who
made heaven and
earth.
All the whole heavens are the
Lord's: the earth hath he
given to the children of men.
The dead praise not thee, O Lord:
neither all they that
go down into silence.
But we will praise the Lord: from this
time forth for
evermore. Praise the Lord. Glory be, &c. |

[Lucis creator

Father of Lights, by whom each day,
Is kindled out of night;
Who, when the heavens were made, didst lay
Their rudiments in light:
Thou, who didst bind and blend in one,
The glistening morn and evening pale,
Hear Thou our plaint, when light is gone
And lawlessness and strife prevail.Hear, lest the whelming weight of crime
Wreck us with life in view
Lest thoughts and schemes of sense and time
Earn us a sinner's due.
So may we knock at heaven's door,
And strive the prize of life to win
Continually and evermore
Guarded without and pure within.
This grace on Thy redeemed confer,
Father, Co-equal Son,
And Holy Ghost the Comforter,
Eternal Three in One. Amen. |

O ye sons of men, how long will ye
blaspheme mine honour:
and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing?
Know this also, that the Lord hath
chosen to himself the
man that is godly: when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me.
Stand in awe, and sin not: commune
with your own heart,
and in your chamber, and be still.
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness:
and put your trust in
the Lord.
There be many that say: who will show
us any good?
Lord, lift thou up: the light of thy
countenance upon us.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart:
since the time that
their corn, and wine, and oil increased.
I will lay me down in peace, and take
my rest: for it is
thou, Lord, only, that makest me dwell in safety. Glory

And be thou my strong rock, and house
of defence: that
thou rnayest save me.
For thou art my strong rock and my
castle: be thou also
my guide, and lead me for thy Name's sake.
Draw me out of the net that they have
laid privily for me:
for thou art my strength.
Into thy hands I commend my spirit:
for thou hast re-
deemed me, O Lord, thou God of truth. Glory be, &c. |

Whoso dwelleth under
the defence of the Most High: shall
abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say unto the Lord, Thou art my

strong hold: my God, in him will I trust.
For he shall deliver thee from the
snare of the hunter: and
from the noisome pestilence.
He shall defend thee under his wings,
and thou shalt be
safe under his feathers: his faithfulness and truth shall be thy
shield and buckler. {84}
Thou shalt not be afraid for any
terror by night: nor for
the arrow that flieth by day.
For the pestilence that walketh in
darkness: nor for the
sickness that destroyeth in the noon-day.
A thousand shall fall beside thee, and
ten thousand at thy
right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.
Yea, with thine eyes shalt thou
behold: and see the reward
of the ungodly.
For thou, Lord, art my hope: thou hast
set thine house of
defence very high.
There shall no evil happen unto thee:
neither shall any
plague come nigh thy dwelling.
For he shalt give his angels charge
over thee: to keep thee
in all thy ways.
They shall bear thee in their hands:
that thou hurt not
thy foot against a stone.
Thou shalt go upon the lion and adder:
the young lion
and the dragon shalt thou tread under thy feet.
Because he hath set his love upon me,
therefore will I
deliver him: I will set him up, because he hath known my
Name.
He shalt call upon me, and I will hear
him: yea, I am
with him in trouble: I will deliver him, and bring him to
honour.
With long life will I satisfy him: and
show him my sal-
vation. Glory be, &c. |

Behold now, praise the

Ye that by night stand in the house of

give thee blessing
out of Sion. Glory be, &c. |

cording to thy word.
For mine eyes have seen: thy
salvation.
Which thou hast prepared: before the
face of all people;
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles:
and to be the glory
of thy people Israel. Glory be, &c. |
| Antiphon |
Save us, O Lord, when
we are awake, guard us when we
are asleep, that we may be with Christ when awake, and
may rest in peace. |

Lord, have mercy.
Christ, hare mercy.
Lord, have mercy. |
The Lord's Prayer
(privately.) |
Our Father, &c.
And lead us not into temptation.
But deliver us from evil. |

I believe, &c.
The resurrection of the body,
And the life everlasting. Amen. |

Blessed art Thou, O Lord God of our fathers.
Greatly to be praised, and glorious for
ever.
Let us bless the Father and the Son, with the Holy Ghost.
Let us praise and exalt Him for ever.

And greatly to be praised, and glorious,
and highly exalted
for
ever. {86}

and protect us.

Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us,
This night without sin.
Have mercy upon us, O Lord,
Have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let Thy mercy be showed upon us.
As we do put our trust in Thee.
Lord, hear my prayer.
And let my cry come unto Thee. |

The Lord be with you,
And with thy spirit.
Let us pray. |
| Collect |
Look down, we beseech
Thee, O Lord, upon this dwell-
ing, and drive far from it all snares of the enemy! let Thy
holy angels dwell in it, and preserve us in peace, and let
Thy blessing ever be upon us, through the Lord. Amen.
The Lord be with you,
And with thy spirit.

Thanks be given to God. |

(This is one of
the four Anti-
phons animad-
verted on, pp.
11 and 23.) |
Hail, Queen! mother of
mercy, our life, sweetness, and
hope, hail! We exiles cry to thee, the children of Eve.
To thee we sigh with groans and weeping in this valley of
tears. Come then, O our advocate, turn on us thy merciful
eyes, and shew to us, after this banishment, Jesus, the blessed
fruit of thy womb. O kind, O pitiful, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Pray for us, holy mother of God,
That we may
be made worthy of the promises of Christ. |
| Collect |
Almighty everlasting
God, who hast prepared the body
and soul of Mary the glorious Virgin Mother, to be a fit
dwelling for Thy Son, by the co-operation of the Holy
Ghost, grant that we, who are gladdened by this comme-
moration of her, may by her pitiful intercession be deli-
vered from present ills, and eternal death, through the
same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The help of God remain with us always.
Amen. |
