Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: But deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace; The Lord is with thee; Blessed art thou amongst women, And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
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.
V. O Lord, ✠ open thou my lips.
R. And my mouth shall declare thy praise.

Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Auctor beate saeculi,
Christe Redemptor omnium,
Lumen Patris de lumine,
Deusque verus de Deo.
Amor coegit te tuus
Mortale corpus sumere,
Ut novus Adam redderes,
Quod vetus ille abstulerat.
Ille amor almus artifex
Terrae marisque, et siderum,
Errata patrum miserans,
Et nostra rumpens vincula.
Non Corde discedat tuo
Vis illa amoris inclyti:
Hoc fonte gentes hauriant
Remissionis gratiam.
Percussum ad hoc est lancea,
Passumque ad hoc est vulnera:
Ut nos lavaret sordibus,
Unda fluente, et sanguine.
Jesu, tibi sit gloria,
Qui Corde fundis gratiam,
Cum Patre, et almo Spiritu,
In sempiterna saecula.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
O Christ, the world's Creator bright,
Who didst mankind from sin redeem,
Light from the Father's glorious light,
True God of God, in bliss supreme.
thy love compelled thee to assume
A mortal body, man to save;
Reversing the old Adam's doom;
Our ransom the new Adam gave.
That love which gloriously framed all
The earth, the stars, and wondrous sea
Took pity on our parents' fall,
Broke all our bonds and set us free.
O Saviour, let thy potent love
Flow ever from thy bounteous heart;
To nations that pure fount above
The grace of pardon will impart.
His heart for this was opened wide,
And wounded by the soldier's spear,
That freely from his sacred side
Might flow the streams our souls to clear.
Glory to Father and to Son,
And to the Holy Ghost the same,
To whom all power, when time is done,
And endless rule, in endless fame.
Amen.

Ant. The thoughts of his Heart
Psalm 32 [1]
32:1 Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: * praise becometh the upright.
32:2 Give praise to the Lord on the harp; * sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.
32:3 Sing to him a new canticle, * sing well unto him with a loud noise.
32:4 For the word of the Lord is right, * and all his works are done with faithfulness.
32:5 He loveth mercy and judgment; * the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
32:6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; * and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:
32:7 Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; * laying up the depths in storehouses.
32:8 Let all the earth fear the Lord, * and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.
32:9 For he spoke and they were made: * he commanded and they were created.
32:10 The Lord bringeth to nought the counsels of nations; * and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.
32:11 But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: * the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
32:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: * the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.
32:13 The Lord hath looked from heaven: * he hath beheld all the sons of men.
32:14 From his habitation which he hath prepared, * he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth.
32:15 He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: * who understandeth all their works.
32:16 The king is not saved by a great army: * nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength.
32:17 Vain is the horse for safety: * neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength.
32:18 Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: * and on them that hope in his mercy.
32:19 To deliver their souls from death; * and feed them in famine.
32:20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: * for he is our helper and protector.
32:21 For in him our heart shall rejoice: * and in his holy name we have trusted.
32:22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, * as we have hoped in thee.

Ant. For with thee
Psalm 35 [2]
35:1 The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: * there is no fear of God before his eyes.
35:2 For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, * that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.
35:3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: * he would not understand that he might do well.
35:4 He hath devised iniquity on his bed, * he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.
35:5 O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, * and thy truth reacheth even to the clouds.
35:6 Thy justice is as the mountains of God, * thy judgments are a great deep.
35:7 Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord: * O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God!
35:8 But the children of men * shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.
35:9 They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; * and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.
35:10 For with thee is the fountain of life; * and in thy light we shall see light.
35:11 Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, * and thy justice to them that are right in heart.
35:12 Let not the foot of pride come to me, * and let not the hand of the sinner move me.
35:13 There the workers of iniquity are fallen, * they are cast out, and could not stand.

2 Et erat ei fílius vocábulo Saul eléctus et bonus, et non erat vir de fíliis Israël mélior illo: ab húmero et sursum eminébat super omnem pópulum.
3 Períerant autem ásinæ Cis patris Saul, et dixit Cis ad Saul fílium suum: Tolle tecum unum de púeris et consúrgens vade et quære ásinas. Qui, cum transíssent per montem Ephraim

Lesson from the first book of Samuel
1 Sam 9:1-4
1 Now there was a man of Benjamin whose name was Cis, the son of Abiel, the son of Seror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphia, the son of a man of Jemini, valiant and strong.
2 And he had a son whose name was Saul, a choice and goodly man, and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he appeared above all the people.
3 And the asses of Cis, Sauls father, were lost: and Cis said to his son Saul: Take one of the servants with thee, and arise, go, and seek the asses. And when they had passed through mount Ephraim,
4 And through the land of Salisa, and had not found them, they passed also through the land of Salim, and they were not there: and through the land of Jemini, and found them not.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. My sins are many, yea, they are more in number than the sands of the sea; I am not worthy to look up toward heaven because of the multitude of my iniquities; for I have provoked thee to anger
* And done evil in thy sight.
V. For I acknowledge my transgression, and my sin is ever before me, for against thee only have I sinned
R. And done evil in thy sight.

7 Dixítque Saul ad púerum suum: Ecce íbimus: quid ferémus ad virum Dei? panis defécit in sitárciis nostris, et spórtulam non habémus, ut demus hómini Dei, nec quidquam áliud.

5 And when they were come to the land of Suph, Saul said to the servant that was with him: Come, let us return, lest perhaps my father forget the asses, and be concerned for us.
6 And he said to him: Behold there is a man of God in this city, a famous man: all that he saith, cometh certainly to pass. Now therefore let us go thither, perhaps he may tell us of our way, for which we are come.
7 And Saul said to his servant: Behold we will go: but what shall we carry to the man of God? the bread is spent in our bags: and we have no present to make to the man of God, nor any thing at all.
8 The servant answered Saul again, and said: Behold there is found in my hand the fourth part of a sicle of silver, let us give it to the man of God, that he may tell us our way.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.

16 Hac ipsa hora, quæ nunc est, cras mittam virum ad te de terra Bénjamin, et unges eum ducem super pópulum meum Israël, et salvábit pópulum meum de manu Philisthinórum, quia respéxi pópulum meum; venit enim clamor eórum ad me.

V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Reading 3
1 Sam 9:14-17
14 And they went up into the city. And when they were walking in the midst of the city, behold Samuel was coming out over against them, to go up to the high place.
15 Now the Lord had revealed to the ear of Samuel the day before Saul came, saying:
16 Tomorrow about this same hour I will send thee a man of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be ruler over my people Israel: and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked down upon my people, because their cry is come to me.
17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said to him: Behold the man, of whom I spoke to thee, this man shall reign over my people.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Hearken, O Lord, unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee today, that thine eyes may be open and thine ears attent
* Toward this house day and night.
V. Look down from thine high and holy place, O Lord, even from heaven thy dwelling
R. Toward this house, day and night.

93:3 Úsquequo peccatóres, Dómine, * úsquequo peccatóres gloriabúntur:
93:4 Effabúntur, et loquéntur iniquitátem: * loquéntur omnes, qui operántur injustítiam?
93:5 Pópulum tuum, Dómine, humiliavérunt: * et hereditátem tuam vexavérunt.
93:6 Víduam, et ádvenam interfecérunt: * et pupíllos occidérunt.
93:7 Et dixérunt: Non vidébit Dóminus, * nec intélliget Deus Jacob.
93:8 Intellígite, insipiéntes in pópulo: * et stulti, aliquándo sápite.
93:9 Qui plantávit aurem, non áudiet? * aut qui finxit óculum, non consíderat?
93:10 Qui córripit gentes, non árguet: * qui docet hóminem sciéntiam?
93:11 Dóminus scit cogitatiónes hóminum, * quóniam vanæ sunt.
93:12 Beátus homo, quem tu erudíeris, Dómine: * et de lege tua docúeris eum,
93:13 Ut mítiges ei a diébus malis: * donec fodiátur peccatóri fóvea.
93:14 Quia non repéllet Dóminus plebem suam: * et hereditátem suam non derelínquet.
93:15 Quoadúsque justítia convertátur in judícium: * et qui juxta illam omnes qui recto sunt corde.
93:16 Quis consúrget mihi advérsus malignántes? * aut quis stabit mecum advérsus operántes iniquitátem?
93:17 Nisi quia Dóminus adjúvit me: * paulo minus habitásset in inférno ánima mea.

Ant. In the multitude
Psalm 93 [6]
93:1 The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: * the God of revenge hath acted freely.
93:2 Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: * render a reward to the proud.
93:3 How long shall sinners, O Lord: * how long shall sinners glory?
93:4 Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: * shall all speak who work injustice?
93:5 Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: * and they have afflicted thy inheritance.
93:6 They have slain the widow and the stranger: * and they have murdered the fatherless.
93:7 And they have said: The Lord shall not see: * neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
93:8 Understand, ye senseless among the people: * and, you fools, be wise at last.
93:9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? * or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?
93:10 He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: * he that teacheth man knowledge?
93:11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, * that they are vain.
93:12 Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: * and shalt teach him out of thy law.
93:13 That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: * till a pit be dug for the wicked.
93:14 For the Lord will not cast off his people: * neither will he forsake his own inheritance.
93:15 Until justice be turned into judgment: * and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.
93:16 Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? * or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity?
93:17 Unless the Lord had been my helper, * my soul had almost dwelt in hell.
93:18 If I said: My foot is moved: * thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
93:19 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, * thy comforts have given joy to my soul.
93:20 Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, * who framest labour in commandment?
93:21 They will hunt after the soul of the just, * and will condemn innocent blood.
93:22 But the Lord is my refuge: * and my God the help of my hope.
93:23 And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: * the Lord our God will destroy them.

Reading 4
From the Encyclical Letter of Pope Pius XI
Among all other proofs of the infinite kindness of our Redeemer, this one is especially conspicuous, that, as the love of the Christian believers grew cold, he, Divine Love itself, was proposed to be honoured by a special devotion, and that the rich treasures of his goodness were thrown wide open by means of that form of worship with which we honour the most Sacred Heart of Jesus, "in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." For, as formerly God wished to give light to the human race as they came out of Noah's ark by the signal of a treaty of friendship, " a bow appearing in the clouds, " so, in those most troublous times of a more recent age, when that most subtle of heresies, Jansenism, was everywhere creeping in, and enemy of the love of God and of piety, preaching that God was not so much to be loved as a father, as to be feared as an unrelenting judge, the most kind Jesus manifested unto the nations his most Sacred Heart, borne on high like unto a banner of peace and love, an augury of certain victory in battle.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him,
* Yea, unto all such as call upon him faithfully.
V. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, long-suffering and of great goodness.
R. Yea, unto all such as call upon him faithfully.

Reading 5
Because Our predecessor, Leo XIII, of happy memory, desiring to obtain the advantages of such a great devotion to the most Sacred Heart of Jesus, in his Encyclical Letter Annum Sacrum most fittingly did not hesitate to proclaim : "When the Church, in the early period of her history, was oppressed by the yoke of the Caesars, a cross appeared in the heavens to a youthful emperor, which was at the same time both the sign and the cause of that most complete victory, which was soon to follow. Behold this day another most auspicious and most holy sign presented to our eyes : that is to say, the most Sacred Heart of Jesus, with a Cross set upon it, shining forth among flames of a most brilliant radiance. In this, all our hopes are to be placed ; from this, the salvation of mankind is to be asked for and to be awaited."
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent ;
* Yea, thou hast revealed them unto babes.
V. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.
R. Yea, thou hast revealed them unto babes.

Reading 6
And it is indeed justly so ; for in this most auspicious sign and in that which doth follow from it, is there not contained the highest model of piety of the whole of religion, and therefore the rule of the more perfect life, inasmuch as it leadeth our minds the more easily to a deeper knowledge of Christ the Lord, and to a more vehement love of him, and moveth our souls more effectually to a more exact imitation of him? Therefore, no one will be surprised, that Our predecessors have contínuously vindicated this most approved form of devotion from the accusations of objéctors, that they have extolled it with the highest praises, and have promoted it with the most ardent zeal, according as considerations of the period and of affairs in general have demanded. And it hath come to pass by the providence of God, that the devout affection of Christ's faithful people towards the most Sacred Heart of Jesus obtaineth daily a great increase.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. All nations whom thou hast made shall come
* And they shall worship thee, O Lord.
V. Yea, they shall glorify thy Name, for thou art great, and doest wondrous things.
R. And they shall worship thee, O Lord.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

107:13 Da nobis auxílium de tribulatióne: * quia vana salus hóminis.
107:14 In Deo faciémus virtútem: * et ipse ad níhilum dedúcet inimícos nostros.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Joánnem
John 19:31-37
In illo témpore: Judæi, quóniam parascéve erat, ut non remanérent in cruce córpora sábbato (erat enim magnus dies ille sábbati) rogavérunt Pilátum, ut frangeréntur eórum crura et tolleréntur. Et réliqua.
Homilia sancti Joánnis Chrysóstomi
Homilia 85, alias 84 in Joannem, num. 3
Viden, quam fortis sit véritas? Per Judæórum stúdia implétur prophetía. Alia quoque prædíctio finem áccipit. Veniéntes enim mílites aliórum fregérunt crura, Christi non item. Attamen hi, in grátiam Judæórum, ejus latus láncea pérforant, et mórtuo córpori contuméliam ínférunt. O sceléstum et exsecrándum fácinus ! Sed ne turbéris, ne dejíciáris, dilécte. Nam quæ mala illi voluntáte faciébant, veritátem propugnábant; prophetía namque erat: Vidébunt in quem transfixérunt. Neque hoc tantum; sed étiam iis qui infidéles futúri erant, hoc fácinus demonstratióni fuit, ut Thomæ et ipsi simílibus. Ad hæc étiam mystérium ineffábile consummabátur. Exívit enim sanguis et aqua. Non sine causa vel casu hi fontes manárunt, sed quia ex hoc utróque Ecclésia constitúta est.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Ego si exaltátus fúero a terra
* Omnia traham ad meípsum.
V. Hoc autem dicébat signíficans qua morte esset moritúrus.
R. Omnia traham ad meípsum.

From the Holy Gospel according to John
John 19:31-37
At that time : The Jews, because it was the Preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath Day, for that Sabbath Day was an high day, besought Pilate that their legs might broken, and that they might be taken away. And so on/
A Homily by St. John Chrysostom
Homilia 85, alias 84 in Joannem, num. 3
See ye not how mighty is the Truth? Through the zeal of the Jews the prophecy is fulfilled. And more than one prophecy was fulfilled. For when the soldiers came and brake the legs of the others, they brake not the legs of Christ. But yet these soldiers, to please the Jews, did pierce his side with a lance, and treat his body with contumely. O wicked and accursed crime! But be not troubled, beloved, or cast down. They indeed did it in ill-will, but they unwittingly contended for the truth, as verily the prophecy foretold : They shall look on him whom they have pierced. And more than this, the evil deed served as a demonstration even afterwards to those who were without faith, such as Thomas and others like him. This ineffable mystery was also consummated to another end : Forthwith came there out blood and water. Nor causelessly or by mere chance did these fountains flow, but because the Church was founded with Water and Blood.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. If I be lifted up,
* I will draw all men unto me.
V. This he said, signifying what death he should die.
R. I will draw all men unto me.

Hoc sciunt initiáti, qui per aquam regenerántur, ac per sánguinem et carnem nutriúntur. Hinc inítium mystéria sumunt, ut, cum ad treméndum póculum accésseris, sic vénias ac si ex hoc látere potatúrus esses. Et qui vidit testimónium perhíbuit, et verum est testimónium ejus. Hoc est: Non ab áliis audívi, sed ipse præsens vidi, et verum est testimónium. Mérito sane. Contuméliam narrat, non magnum quid et mirábile, ut possis contra suspicári; verum ille hæreticórum ora cómprimens et futúra prænúntians mystéria, atque conténtum in ipsis thesáurum consíderans, minutátim recénset et quæ gesta sunt. Impléta est autem prophetía illa: Os ejus non commínuent. Etiámsi enim hoc de Judæórum agno dictum sit, tamen propter veritátem figura præcéssit, et in hoc magis complétum est. Ideo prophétam in médium addúcit.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Simus ergo imitatóres Dei
* Et ambulémus in diléctione.
V. Sicut et Christus diléxit nos et trádidit semetípsum pro nobis.
R. Et ambulémus in diléctione.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Reading 8
This is well-known to those who have been initiated, namely, to all who have been regenerated by the Water, and nourished with the Flesh and Blood, so that when thou dost approach to the awesome cup, thou shouldst come as if thou wert about to drink from this very side of Christ. And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true : as though to say : Not from others have I heard it, but I myself was present, and saw it, and therefore my record of it is true. Truly indeed doth he thus speak. For he speaketh to us as of an insult, and not as of something great and wonderful, else thou mightest doubt his testimony ; but he, (thus shutting the mouth of hereticks, and foretelling future mysteries, and mindful of the treasure to be contained in them,) doth enúmerate one by one the events as they took place. These things were done that the Scriptures should be fulfilled : A bone of him shall not be broken. For even though this was written concerning the lamb which the Jews used for their Passover, nevertheless this lamb was a figure which came first to shew forth the reality yet to come, wherein the prophecy was to be perfectly fulfilled ; and that is why the Evangelist quoteth the passage as a prophecy.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Be ye therefore followers of God ;
* And walk ye therefore in love.
V. For Christ also hath loved us and hath given himself for us.
R. And walk ye therefore in love.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. And walk ye therefore in love.

Cum sese testem áfferens ubíque non viderétur fide dignum habéri, addúcit Móysen, ut ínnuat hoc non casu factum esse, sed jam olim scripto fuísse prænuntiátum. Hoc illud dictum est: Os ejus non comminuétur. Rursúmque ex seípso Prophétæ fidem facit. Hæc dixi, inquit, ut discátis magnam esse affinitátem inter figúram et veritátem. Viden, quantam curam adhíbeat, ut credátur illud quod turpe et ignominiósum vidétur? Nam corpus a mílite contumélia áffici, longe pejus erat quam crucifígi. Attamen et hæc dixi, inquit, et cum magna diligéntia dixi, ut credátis. Nemo ítaque fidem neget, neque præ pudóre nostris nóceat. Nam quæ máxime contumeliósa vidéntur, hæc sunt bonórum nostrórum honestíssima.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
Te Deum
Te Deum laudámus: * te Dóminum confitémur.

Pleni sunt cæli et terra * majestátis glóriæ tuæ.

Reading 9
Since the testimony he himself beareth might not everywhere be held worthy of belief, he citeth Moses, to intimate that this thing was not done by chance, but had already long ago been foretold in writing. By Moses it was said : A bone of him shall not be broken. And again he resteth his faith on the same Prophet : These things I have said, saith he, that ye may learn how great is the resemblance between the figure and the reality. Seest thou what great care he taketh, that what appeareth as disgraceful and ignominious may be believed. For that the body should be treated with contempt by the soldier, was far worse than its crucifixion. But nevertheless, saith he, I have both said these things, and have said them most emphatically, that ye may believe. Let no one, therefore, deny credence to these things, nor in shame tamper with our beliefs. For those things which seem to be the most dishonouring, are in fact our greatest pride.
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.
