PSALM 114. In exitu Israel
1 WHEN Israel came out of Egypt:
and the house of Jacob from among the strange people,
2 Judah was his sanctuary:
and Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw that, and fled:
Jordan was driven back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams:
and the little hills like young sheep.
5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest:
and thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams:
and ye little hills, like young sheep?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord:
at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 Who turned the hard rock into a standing water:
and the flint-stone into a springing well.
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.

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.
PSALM 115. Non nobis, Domine
1 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.
2 Wherefore shall the heathen say:
Where is now their God?
3 As for our God, he is in heaven:
he hath done whatsoever pleased him.
4 Their idols are silver and gold:
even the work of men's hands.
5 They have mouths, and speak not:
eyes have they, and see not.
6 They have ears, and hear not:
noses have they, and smell not.
7 They have hands, and handle not; feet have they, and walk not:
neither speak they through their throat.
8 They that make them are like unto them:
and so are all such as put their trust in them.
9 But thou, house of Israel, trust thou in the LORD:
he is their succour and defence.
10 Ye house of Aaron, put your trust in the LORD:
he is their helper and defender.
11 Ye that fear the LORD, put your trust in the LORD:
he is their helper and defender.
12 The LORD hath been mindful of us, and he shall bless us:
even he shall bless the house of Israel, he shall bless the house of Aaron.
13 He shall bless them that fear the LORD:
both small and great.
14 The LORD shall increase you more and more:
you and your children.
15 Ye are the blessed of the LORD:
who made heaven and earth.
16 All the whole heavens are the LORD'S:
the earth hath he given to the children of men.
17 The dead praise not thee, O LORD:
neither all they that go down into silence.
18 But we will praise the LORD:
from this time forth for evermore. Praise the LORD.
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.
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.
O praise the LORD † with me, and let us magnify his Name together.
PSALM 34. Benedicam Dominum
1 I WILL alway give thanks unto the LORD:
his praise shall ever be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD:
the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O praise the LORD with me:
and let us magnify his Name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me:
yea, he delivered me out of all my fear.
5 They had an eye unto him, and were lightened:
and their faces were not ashamed.
6 Lo, the poor crieth, and the LORD heareth him:
yea, and saveth him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD tarrieth round about them that fear him:
and delivereth them.
8 O taste, and see, how gracious the LORD is:
blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
9 O fear the LORD, ye that are his saints:
for they that fear him lack nothing.
10 The lions do lack, and suffer hunger:
but they who seek the LORD shall want no manner of thing that is good.
11 Come, ye children, and hearken unto me:
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 What man is he that lusteth to live:
and would fain see good days?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil:
and thy lips, that they speak no guile.
14 Eschew evil, and do good:
seek peace, and ensue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are over the righteous:
and his ears are open unto their prayers.
16 The countenance of the LORD is against them that do evil:
to root out the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth them:
and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart:
and will save such as be of an humble spirit.
19 Great are the troubles of the righteous:
but the LORD delivereth him out of all.
20 He keepeth all his bones:
so that not one of them is broken.
21 But misfortune shall slay the ungodly:
and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The LORD delivereth the souls of his servants:
and all they that put their trust in him shall not be destitute.
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 LORD † with me, and let us magnify his Name together.

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.
