PSALM 111. Confitebor tibi
1 I WILL give thanks unto the LORD with my whole heart:
secretly among the faithful, and in the congregation.
2 The works of the LORD are great:
sought out of all them that have pleasure therein.
3 His work is worthy to be praised and had in honour:
and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4 The merciful and gracious LORD hath so done his marvellous works:
that they ought to be had in remembrance.
5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him:
he shall ever be mindful of his covenant.
6 He hath showed his people the power of his works:
that he may give them the heritage of the heathen.
7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment:
all his commandments are true.
8 They stand fast for ever and ever:
and are done in truth and equity.
9 He sent redemption unto his people:
he hath commanded his covenant for ever; holy and reverend is his Name.
10 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 to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Ghost:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, *
world without end. Amen.

O praise the Name of the LORD.

from this time forth for evermore.
3 The LORD'S Name is praised:
from the rising up of the sun unto the going down of the same.
4 The LORD is high above all heathen:
and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, that hath his dwelling so high:
and yet humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth!
6 He taketh up the simple out of the dust:
and lifteth the poor out of the mire;
7 That he may set him with the princes:
even with the princes of his people.
8 He maketh the barren woman to keep house:
and to be a joyful mother of children.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Ghost:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, *
world without end. Amen.
The Spirit of the Lord † hath filled * the whole world, alleluia.
They were all filled † with the Holy Ghost, * and began to speak, alleluia, alleluia.

Hymn: Aurora Iam Spargit Polum
The dawn is sprinkling in the east
Its golden shower, as day flows in;
Fast mount the pointed shafts of light:
Farewell to darkness and to sin!
Away, ye midnight phantoms all!
Away, despondence and despair!
Whatever guilt the night has brought
Now let it vanish into air.
So, Lord, when that last morning breaks,
Looking to which we sigh and pray,
O may it to Thy minstrels prove
The dawning of a better day.
To God the Father glory be,
And to His sole begotten Son;
Glory, O Holy Ghost, to Thee
While everlasting ages run.

The Song of Mary Magnificat
Luke 1:46-55
Give light, O Lord, † to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, * and guide our feet into the way of peace.
MY soul doth magnify the Lord, * and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.
For he hath regarded * the lowliness of his handmaiden.
For behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath magnified me, * and holy is his Name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him * throughout all generations.
He hath showed strength with his arm; * he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, * and hath exalted the humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with good things, * and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel, * as he promised to our forefathers,
Abraham and his seed for ever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Give light, O Lord, † to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, * and guide our feet into the way of peace.
The Apostles' Creed
I BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty,
Maker 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, dead, and buried:
He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead:
He ascended into heaven,
And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty:
From thence he shall come to judge the quick 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 the Life everlasting. Amen.

The Collect of the Day
ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who hast given unto us thy servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of the Divine Majesty to worship the Unity; We beseech thee that thou wouldest keep us stedfast in this faith, and evermore defend us from all adversities, who livest and reignest, one God, world without end.

A Collect for Peace
O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and
all just works do proceed: Give unto thy servants the peace

obey thy commandments, and also that by thee, we, being
defended from the fear of all enemies, may pass our time in
rest and quietness; through the merits of Jesus Christ our
Savior. Amen.
A Collect for Aid against Perils
Lighten our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love of thy only Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
The General ThanksgivingALMIGHTY God, Father of all mercies, we, thine unworthy servants, do give thee most humble and hearty thanks for all thy goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all men; We bless thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all, for thine inestimable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And, we beseech thee, give us that due sense of all thy mercies, that our hearts may he unfeignedly thankful; and that we show forth thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up our selves to thy service, and by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.
