Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried: he descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins. The resurrection of the body. And life everlasting. Amen.

Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Iste Confessor Dómini coléntes,
Quem pie laudant pópuli per orbem,
Hac die lætus meruit supremos
Laudis honores.
Qui pius, prudens, humilis, pudicus,
Sobriam duxit sine labe vitam,
Donec humanos animávit auræ
Spíritus artus.
Cujus ob præstans meritum, frequenter,
Ægra quæ passim jacuere membra,
Viribus morbi domitis, salúti
Restituúntur.
Noster hinc illi chorus obsequentem
Concinit laudem celebresque palmas,
Ut piis ejus precibus juvemur
Omne per ævum.
Sit salus illi, decus atque virtus,
Qui, super cæli solio coruscans,
Totius mundi seriem gubernat,
Trinus et unus.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
This the confessor of the Lord, whose triumph
Now all the faithful celebrate, with gladness
On this feast day year by year receiveth
Merited honors.
Saintly and prudent, modest in behaviour,
Peaceful and sober, chaste was he, and lowly.
While that life's vigour, coursing through his members,
Quickened his being.
Sick ones of old time, to his tomb resorting,
Sorely by ailments manifold afflicted,
Oft-times have welcomed health and strength returning,
At his petition.
Whence we in chorus gladly do him honour,
Chanting his praises with devout affection,
That in his merits we may have a portion,
Now and forever.
His be the glory, power and salvation,
Who over all things reigneth in the highest,
Earth's mighty fabric ruling and directing,
Onely and Trinal.
Amen.

Ant. Magnus Dóminus * et laudábilis nimis in civitáte Dei nostri.

47:8 We have received thy mercy, O God, * in the midst of thy temple.
47:9 According to thy name, O God, so also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: * thy right hand is full of justice.
47:10 Let mount Sion rejoice, and the daughters of Juda be glad; * because of thy judgments, O Lord.

48:2 Quique terrígenæ, et fílii hóminum: * simul in unum dives et pauper.
48:3 Os meum loquétur sapiéntiam: * et meditátio cordis mei prudéntiam.
48:4 Inclinábo in parábolam aurem meam: * apériam in psaltério propositiónem meam.

48:6 Qui confídunt in virtúte sua: * et in multitúdine divitiárum suárum gloriántur.
48:7 Frater non rédimit, rédimet homo: * non dabit Deo placatiónem suam.
48:8 Et prétium redemptiónis ánimæ suæ: * et laborábit in ætérnum, et vivet adhuc in finem.
48:9 Non vidébit intéritum, cum víderit sapiéntes moriéntes: * simul insípiens, et stultus períbunt.
48:10 Et relínquent aliénis divítias suas: * et sepúlcra eórum domus illórum in ætérnum.
48:11 Tabernácula eórum in progénie et progénie: * vocavérunt nómina sua in terris suis.

Ant. My mouth shall speak
Psalm 48(1-13) [5]
48:1 Hear these things, all ye nations: * give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.
48:2 All you that are earthborn, and you sons of men: * both rich and poor together.
48:3 My mouth shall speak wisdom: * and the meditation of my heart understanding
48:4 I will incline my ear to a parable; * I will open my proposition on the psaltery.
48:5 Why shall I fear in the evil day? * the iniquity of my heel shall encompass me.
48:6 They that trust in their own strength, * and glory in the multitude of their riches,
48:7 No brother can redeem, nor shall man redeem: * he shall not give to God his ransom,
48:8 Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: * and shall labour for ever, and shall still live unto the end.
48:9 He shall not see destruction, when he shall see the wise dying: * the senseless and the fool shall perish together:
48:10 And they shall leave their riches to strangers: * and their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever.
48:11 Their dwelling places to all generations: * they have called their lands by their names.
48:12 And man when he was in honour did not understand; * he is compared to senseless beasts, and is become like to them.

Ant. Ne timúeris
Psalmus 48(14-21) [6]
48:14 Hæc via illórum scándalum ipsis: * et póstea in ore suo complacébunt.
48:15 Sicut oves in inférno pósiti sunt: * mors depáscet eos.
48:16 Et dominabúntur eórum justi in matutíno: * et auxílium eórum veteráscet in inférno a glória eórum.
48:17 Verúmtamen Deus rédimet ánimam meam de manu ínferi: * cum accéperit me.
48:18 Ne timúeris, cum dives factus fúerit homo: * et cum multiplicáta fúerit glória domus ejus.
48:19 Quóniam cum interíerit, non sumet ómnia: * neque descéndet cum eo glória ejus.
48:20 Quia ánima ejus in vita ipsíus benedicétur: * confitébitur tibi cum beneféceris ei.
48:21 Introíbit usque in progénies patrum suórum: * et usque in ætérnum non vidébit lumen.
48:21 Homo, cum in honóre esset, non intelléxit: * comparátus est juméntis insipiéntibus, et símilis factus est illis.

Ant. Be not thou afraid
Psalm 48(14-21) [6]
48:14 This way of theirs is a stumbling block to them: * and afterwards they shall delight in their mouth.
48:15 They are laid in hell like sheep: * death shall feed upon them.
48:16 And the just shall have dominion over them in the morning; * and their help shall decay in hell from their glory.
48:17 But God will redeem my soul from the hand of hell, * when he shall receive me.
48:18 Be not thou afraid, when a man shall be made rich, * and when the glory of his house shall be increased.
48:19 For when he shall die he shall take nothing away; * nor shall his glory descend with him.
48:20 For in his lifetime his soul will be blessed: * and he will praise thee when thou shalt do well to him.
48:21 He shall go in to the generations of his fathers: * and he shall never see light.
48:21 Man when he was in honour did not understand: * he hath been compared to senseless beasts, and made like to them.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Lectio 4
Joannes, Capistrani in Pelignis ortus et Perusium studiorum causa missus, in christianis et liberalibus disciplinis adeo profecit, ut ob egregiam juris scientiam aliquot civitatibus a Neapolis rege Ladislao praefectus fuerit. Dum autem earum rempublicam sanctissime gerens perturbatis rebus tranquillitatem revocare studet capitur ipse et in vincula conjicitur; quibus mirabiliter ereptus, Francisci Assisiensis regulam inter fratres Minores profitetur. Ad divinarum litterarum studium progressus praeceptorem nactus est sanctum Bernardinum Senensem, cujus et virtutis exempla, in cultu potissimum sanctissimi nominis Jesu ac Deiparae propagando, egregie est imitatus. Aquilanum episcopatum recusavit, et severiore disciplina atque scriptis quae plurima edidit ad mores reformandos, maxime enituit.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Honestum fecit illum Dóminus, et custodívit eum ab inimícis, et a seductoribus tutavit illum:
* Et dedit illi claritátem ætérnam.
V. Justum dedúxit Dóminus per vias rectas, et osténdit illi regnum Dei
R. Et dedit illi claritátem ætérnam.

V. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May God the Father Omnipotent, be to us merciful and clement. Amen.
Reading 4
This John was born at Capistrano, in the Abruzzi. He was educated at Perugia, and became so expert in letters, both sacred and profane, that on account of his eminent knowledge of law, Ladislaus, King of Naples, set him over several cities. He was seeking in righteousness to bring the affairs of these places out of trouble into peace, when he himself was kidnapped and put in chains. From this captivity he marvellously escaped, and then professed himself a Friar Minor under the rule of Francis of Assisi. Here he went forward in the study of divinity, and had as a teacher the holy Bernardine of Sienna, of whom he was one of the most marked followers, especially in spreading abroad the honour paid to the Most Holy Name of Jesus, and to the Mother of God. The bishopric of Aquila was offered to him, but he refused it. He was chiefly known by the hardship of his self-denial, and by the writings which he published in large numbers for the reform of manners.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. The Lord made him honourable, and defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait for him
* And gave him perpetual glory.
V. He went down with him into the pit, and left him not in bonds.
R. And gave him perpetual glory.

V. Jube, domne, benedicere.
Benedictio. Christus perpetuae det nobis gaudia vitae. Amen.
Lectio 5
Praedicationi verbi Dei sedulo incumbens, Italiam fere universam lustravit; quo in munere et virtute sermonis et miraculorum frequentia innumeras prope animas in viam salutis reduxit. Eum Martinus quintus ad exstinguendam Fraticellorum sectam inquisitorem instituit. A Nicolao quinto contra Judaeos et Saracenos generalis inquisitor in Italia constitutus, plurimos ad Christi fidem convertit. In Oriente multa optime constituit, et in concilio Florentino, ubi veluti sol quidam fulsit, Armenos Ecclesiae catholicae restituit. Idem Pontifex, postulante Friderico tertio imperatore, illum apostolicae Sedis nuntium in Germaniam legavit, ut haereticos ad catholicam fidem et principum animos ad concordiam revocaret. In Germania aliisque provinciis Dei gloriam sexennali ministerio mirifice auxit, Hussitis, Adamitis, Thaboritis, Hebraeisque innumeris doctrinae veritate ac miraculorum luce ad Ecclesiae sinum traductis.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Amávit eum Dóminus, et ornávit eum: stolam glóriæ índuit eum,
* Et ad portas paradísi coronávit eum.
V. Índuit eum Dóminus loricam fídei, et ornávit eum.
R. Et ad portas paradísi coronávit eum.

Reading 5
He devoted himself without ceasing to the preaching of the Word of God, in the which work he travelled throughout nearly all Italy, and by the power of eloquence and of miracles not a few, he recalled souls almost countless into the path of salvation. Martin V. appointed him Inquisitor to stamp out the sect of the Fraticelli. Nicolas V. appointed him InquisitorGeneral in Italy against Judaism and Mohammadanism, and he brought many such misbelievers to believe in Christ. He did much good work in the affairs of the Eastern Church, and at the Council of Florence, wherein he shone like a sun, he brought back the Armenians to the Catholic church. The same Pope Nicolas V., at the request of the Emperor Frederick III., sent him into Germany as Nuncio of the Apostolic See, in order that he might bring back the heretics to the Catholic faith and the minds of the princes to peace and agreement. He did a wonderful work for God's glory during the six years that he laboured in Germany and other countries, and by his teaching of the truth and the striking evidence of his miracles brought back to the bosom of the Church almost countless numbers of Hussites, Adamites, Taborites, and Jews.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. The Lord loved him and beautified him He clothed him with a robe of glory
* And crowned him at the gates of Paradise.
V. The Lord hath put on him the breast-plate of faith, and hath adorned him.
R. And crowned him at the gates of Paradise.

Cum Callistus tertius, ipso potissimum deprecante, cruce signatos mittere decrevisset, Joannes per Pannoniam aliasque provincias volitavit, qua verbo, qua litteris principum animos ita ad bellum accendit, ut brevi millia Christianorum septuaginta conscripta sint. Ejus consilio et virtute potissimum Taurunensis victoria relata est, centum ac viginti Turcarum millibus partim caesis, partim fugatis. Cujus victoriae cum Romam nuntius venisset octavo Idus Augusti, idem Callistus ejus diei memoriae solemnia Transfigurationis Christi Domini perpetuo consecravit. Lethali morbo aegrotum et Villacum delatum viri principes plures visitarunt; quos ipse ad tuendam religionem hortatus, animam Deo sancte reddidit anno salutis millesimo quadringentesimo quinquagesimo sexto. Ejus gloriam post mortem Deus multis miraculis confirmavit: quibus rite probatis, Alexander octavus anno millesimo sexcentesimo nonagesimo Joannem in Sanctorum numerum retulit; ejusque Officium ac Missam Leo decimus tertius, altero ab ejus canonizatione saeculo, ad universam extendit Ecclesiam.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Iste homo perfécit ómnia quæ locútus est ei Deus, et dixit ad eum: Ingredere in réquiem meam:
* Quia te vidi justum coram me ex ómnibus géntibus.
V. Iste est qui contempsit vitam mundi, et pervénit ad cæléstia regna.
R. Quia te vidi justum coram me ex ómnibus géntibus.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
R. Quia te vidi justum coram me ex ómnibus géntibus.

Reading 6
It was mainly at the entreaty of John that Calistus III. proclaimed a Crusade, and John hastened about through Pannonia and other provinces, where by his words and his letters he so roused the minds of princes to that holy war, that in a short while seventy thousand Christian soldiers were enrolled. It was mainly through his advice and by his power that victory was gained at Belgrade, when one hundred and twenty thousand Turks were either slain or put to flight. The news of this victory reached Rome upon the sixth day of August, and Pope Calistus thereupon consecrated that day for ever to the solemn commemoration of the transfiguration of the Lord Christ. As John lay sick unto death at Illak, many princes came to see him, and he exhorted them to protect religion. He gave up his soul in holiness to God, (upon the 23rd day of October,) in the year of salvation 1456. God confirmed his glory by many miracles after his death, and when these had been duly proved Alexander VIII. enrolled his name with those of the saints in the year 1690, and two hundred years after his canonization Leo XIII. extended his Office and Mass to the whole Church.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. This is he which did according unto all that God commanded him; and God said unto him Enter thou into My rest
* For thee have I seen righteous before Me among all people.
V. This is he which loved not his life in this world, and is come unto an everlasting kingdom.
R. For thee have I seen righteous before Me among all people.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. For thee have I seen righteous before Me among all people.

49:18 If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: * and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker.
49:19 Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, * and thy tongue framed deceits.
49:20 Sitting thou didst speak against thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother's son: * these things hast thou done, and I was silent.
49:21 Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to thee: * but I will reprove thee, and set before thy face.

50:6 For behold I was conceived in iniquities; * and in sins did my mother conceive me.
50:7 For behold thou hast loved truth: * the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.
50:8 Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: * thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
50:9 To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: * and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
50:10 Turn away thy face from my sins, * and blot out all my iniquities.
50:11 Create a clean heart in me, O God: * and renew a right spirit within my bowels.
50:12 Cast me not away from thy face; * and take not thy holy spirit from me.
50:13 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, * and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.
50:14 I will teach the unjust thy ways: * and the wicked shall be converted to thee.
50:15 Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: * and my tongue shall extol thy justice.
50:16 O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: * and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
50:17 For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: * with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.
50:18 A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: * a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
50:19 Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; * that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
50:20 Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: * then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Ant. Thou shalt accept the sacrifice * of justice, upon thy altar.

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam
Luke 9:1-6
In illo tempore: Convocatis Jesus duodecim Apostolis, dedit illis virtutem et potestatem super omnia daemonia, et ut languores curarent. Et reliqua.
Homilia sancti Bonaventurae Episcopi
Expositio in cap. 9 Lucae
Apostoli ideo nominati sunt, ut eorum commendaretur auctoritas. Apostolus enim missus interpretatur: missi autem fuerunt ad praedicandum, secundum illud: Non misit me Christus baptizare, sed evangelizare. Fuerunt ad praedicandum missi, non rem parvam, sed magnam scilicet regnum Dei, per quod potest intelligi doctrina veritatis, juxta illud: Auferetur a vobis regnum Dei, et dabitur genti facienti fructus ejus. Potest etiam dici gratia Spiritus Sancti, secundum illud: Non est regnum Dei esca et potus, sed justitia et pax, et gaudium in Spiritu Sancto; et infra: Ecce regnum Dei intra vos est. Potest etiam dici gloria aeterna, juxta illud: Amen dico vobis, nisi quis renatus fuerit ex aqua et Spiritu Sancto, non potest introire in regnum Dei.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Iste est qui ante Deum magnas virtútes operátus est, et de omni corde suo laudavit Dóminum:
* Ipse intercedat pro peccátis ómnium populórum.
V. Ecce homo sine querela, verus Dei cultor, abstinens se ab omni ópere malo, et pérmanens in innocéntia sua.
R. Ipse intercedat pro peccátis ómnium populórum.

From the Holy Gospel according to Luke
Luke 9:1-6
At that time : Jesus called the twelve Apostles together and gave power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases. And so on.
Homily by St Buona- Ventura, (Cardinal) Bishop (of Albans,)
On Luke ix.
Apostles are so called as a mark of their authority, for this word Apostle signifieth sent, and they were sent out to preach, as it is written, (1 Cor. i. 17,) Christ sent me not to baptize but to preach the gospel. They were sent to preach not any small thing but a very great thing, even the Kingdom of God, whereby we may understand the teaching of the truth, as it is said, (Matth. xxi. 43,) The Kingdom of God should be taken from you and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. The Kingdom of God may also be understood to signify the grace of the Holy Ghost, as it is written, Rom. xiv. 17, The Kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost; as also it was said, Luke xvii. 21, The Kingdom of God is within you. The Kingdom of God may also be understood to signify eternal glory, as it is said, John iii. 5, Amen, I say unto thee, except a man be born again of water and of the Holy Ghost he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. This is he which wrought great wonders before God, and praised the Lord with all his heart.
* May he pray for all people, that their sins may be forgiven unto them
V. Behold a man without blame, a worshipper of God in truth, keeping himself clean from every evil work, and abiding still in his innocency.
R. May he pray for all people, that their sins may be forgiven unto them

V. Jube, domne, benedicere.
Benedictio. Cujus festum colimus, ipse intercedat pro nobis ad Dominum. Amen.
Lectio 8
Omnibus his modis Apostoli sunt missi praedicare regnum Dei, scilicet veram doctrinam, divinam gratiam, et aeternam gloriam. Et quia propter auctoritatem praedicationis concesserat potestatem curationis, ideo subdit: Et sanare infirmos; scilicet misit ad confirmationem veritatis praedicatae secundum illud: Illi autem profecti, praedicaverunt ubique, Domino cooperante et sermonem confirmante sequentibus signis. Unde signum missionis spiritualis ad praedicandum est sanatio audientium a morbis vitiorum.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Sint lumbi vestri præcincti, et lucernæ ardentes in mánibus vestris
* Et vos símiles homínibus exspectantibus dóminum suum, quando revertatur a núptiis.
V. Vigiláte ergo, quia nescitis qua hora Dóminus vester ventúrus sit.
R. Et vos símiles homínibus exspectantibus dóminum suum, quando revertatur a núptiis.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
R. Et vos símiles homínibus exspectantibus dóminum suum, quando revertatur a núptiis.

Reading 8
The Apostles were sent to preach the Kingdom of God in all these three senses, that is to say, as the true teaching, as the grace of God, and as eternal glory. In order to invest their teaching with authority He gave them the power to cure diseases, whence where it is written And He sent them to preach the Kingdom of God it is also said And to heal the sick. This power He gave in order to confirm the truth of their preaching, as it is written, Mark xvi. 20, And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the Word with signs following. The sign that a preacher is indeed sent forth by the Spirit of God is that they that hear him should be cured of the disease of sin.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning,
* And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding.
V. Watch, therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
R. And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding.

Commemoratio Feriae
Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Joannem.
John 10:22-38
In illo tempore: Facta sunt encaenia in Hierosolymis: et hiems erat. Et ambulabat Jesus in templo, in porticu Salomonis. Et reliqua.
Homilia sancti Augustini Episcopi.
Tractatus 48. in Joannem, circa init.
Encaenia festivitas erat dedicationis templi. Graece enim caenon dicitur novum. Quandocumque novum aliquid fuerit dedicatum, encaenia vocantur. Jam et usus habet hoc verbum. Si quis nova tunica induatur, encaeniare dicitur. Illum enim diem, quo templum dedicatum est, Judaei solemniter celebrabant: ipse dies festus agebatur, cum ea quae lecta sunt, locutus est Dominus.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.

Commemoration of the day
Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John
John 10:22-38
In that time it was the feast of the dedication at Jerusalem: and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch. And so on.
Homily by St Austin, Bishop of H ippo.
42th Tract on John.
The Greek word Enkainia, used by the Evangelist, signifieth the Feast of the Dedication of the Temple. The derivation thereof is kainon, which is, being interpreted, new; and the Dedication of anything new is thence called Enkainia. The use of this word is still preserved among ourselves; if any man put on his new coat for the first time we say that he enkainiateth. It was the use of the Jews to keep solemn holiday upon the Anniversary of the Dedication of the Temple, and this was the Feast-day which was being observed when the Lord spake the words which have been read.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
Te Deum
We praise thee, O God, * we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship thee, * the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud, * the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.
To thee Cherubim and Seraphim * continually do cry.
(bow head) Holy, Holy, Holy * Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full * of the Majesty of thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles * praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets * praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs * praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world * doth acknowledge thee;
The Father, * of an infinite Majesty.
Thine honourable, true, * and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost, * the Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory, * O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting * Son of the Father.
During the following verse all make a profound bow:
When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man, * thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, * thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come * to be our Judge.
Kneel for the following verse
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, * whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious Blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints, * in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people, * and bless thine heritage.
Govern them, * and lift them up for ever.
Day by day * we magnify thee;
During the following verse, by local custom, all make a profound bow.
And we worship thy Name * ever, world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us * this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, * have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, * as our trust is in thee.
O Lord, in thee have I trusted, * let me never be confounded.
