Rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. Joel ii. 13.
℣. O Lord, open thou our lips.
℟. And our mouth shall show forth thy praise.
℣. O God, make speed to save us.
℟. O Lord, make haste to help us.
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.
℣. Praise ye the Lord.
℟. The Lord's Name be praised.
The Lord doth promise the crown to them that watch: Otherwise it were but lost labour that ye haste to rise up early, and so late take rest.
O COME, let us sing unto the Lord; * let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving * and show ourselves glad in him with psalms.
The Lord doth promise the crown to them that watch: Otherwise it were but lost labour that ye haste to rise up early, and so late take rest.
For the Lord is a great God, * and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are all the corners of the earth, * and the strength of the hills is his also.
The sea is his, and he made it, * and his hands prepared the dry land.
Otherwise it were but lost labour that ye haste to rise up early, and so late take rest.
O come, let us worship and fall down * and kneel before the Lord our Maker.
For he is the Lord our God, * and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
The Lord doth promise the crown to them that watch: Otherwise it were but lost labour that ye haste to rise up early, and so late take rest.
Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts *
as in the provocation,
and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness;
When your fathers tempted me, *
proved me, and saw my works.
Otherwise it were but lost labour that ye haste to rise up early, and so late take rest.
Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, *
It is a people that do err in their hearts,
for they have not known my ways.
Unto whom I sware in my wrath, *
that they should not enter into my rest.
The Lord doth promise the crown to them that watch: Otherwise it were but lost labour that ye haste to rise up early, and so late take rest.
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 Lord doth promise the crown to them that watch: Otherwise it were but lost labour that ye haste to rise up early, and so late take rest.
This shall be my rest † for ever.
PSALM 132. Memento, Domine
1 LORD, remember David:
and all his trouble:
2 How he sware unto the LORD:
and vowed a vow unto the Almighty God of Jacob:
3 I will not come within the tabernacle of mine house:
nor climb up into my bed;
4 I will not suffer mine eyes to sleep, nor mine eyelids to slumber:
neither the temples of my head to take any rest;
5 Until I find out a place for the temple of the LORD:
an habitation for the Mighty God of Jacob.
6 Lo, we heard of the same at Ephrata:
and found it in the wood.
7 We will go into his tabernacle:
and fall low on our knees before his footstool.
8 Arise, O LORD, into thy resting-place:
thou, and the ark of thy strength.
9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness:
and let thy saints sing with joyfulness.
10 For thy servant David's sake:
turn not away the presence of thine anointed.
11 The LORD hath made a faithful oath unto David:
and he shall not shrink from it:
12 Of the fruit of thy body:
shall I set upon thy seat.
13 If thy children will keep my covenant, and my testimonies that I shall learn them:
their children also shall sit upon thy seat for evermore.
14 For the LORD hath chosen Sion to be an habitation for himself:
he hath longed for her.
15 This shall be my rest for ever:
here will I dwell, for I have a delight therein.
16 I will bless her victuals with increase:
and will satisfy her poor with bread.
17 I will deck her priests with health:
and her saints shall rejoice and sing.
18 There shall I make the horn of David to flourish:
I have ordained a lantern for mine anointed.
19 As for his enemies, I shall clothe them with shame:
but upon himself shall his crown flourish.
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.
This shall be my rest † for ever.
For there the LORD promised † his blessing and life for evermore.
PSALM 133. Ecce, quam bonum!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.
For there the LORD promised † his blessing and life for evermore.
Ye that by night † stand in the house of the LORD
PSALM 134. Ecce nunc
1 BEHOLD now, praise the LORD:
all ye servants of the LORD;
2 Ye that by night stand in the house of the LORD:
even in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary:
and praise the LORD.
4 The LORD that made heaven and earth:
give thee blessing out of Sion.
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.
Ye that by night † stand in the house of the LORD
O praise the LORD, † for the LORD is gracious.
PSALM 135. Laudate Nomen
1 O PRAISE the LORD, laud ye the Name of the LORD:
praise it, O ye servants of the LORD;
2 Ye that stand in the house of the LORD:
in the courts of the house of our God.
3 O praise the LORD, for the LORD is gracious:
O sing praises unto his Name, for it is lovely.
4 For why? the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself:
and Israel for his own possession.
5 For I know that the LORD is great:
and that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth:
and in the sea, and in all deep places.
7 He bringeth forth the clouds from the ends of the world:
and sendeth forth lightnings with the rain, bringing the winds out of his treasures.
8 He smote the firstborn of Egypt:
both of man and beast.
9 He hath sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O thou land of Egypt:
upon Pharaoh, and all his servants.
10 He smote divers nations:
and slew mighty kings:
11 Sehon, king of the Amorites, and Og, the king of Basan:
and all the kingdoms of Canaan;
12 And gave their land to be an heritage:
even an heritage unto Israel his people.
13 Thy Name, O LORD, endureth for ever:
so doth thy memorial, O LORD, from one generation to another.
14 For the LORD will avenge his people:
and be gracious unto his servants.
15 As for the images of the heathen, they are but silver and gold:
the work of men's hands.
16 They have mouths, and speak not:
eyes have they, but they see not.
17 They have ears, and yet they hear not:
neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 They that make them are like unto them:
and so are all they that put their trust in them.
19 Praise the LORD, ye house of Israel:
praise the LORD, ye house of Aaron.
20 Praise the LORD, ye house of Levi:
ye that fear the LORD, praise the LORD.
21 Praised be the LORD out of Sion:
who dwelleth at Jerusalem.
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, † for the LORD is gracious.
For the LORD loveth † the thing that is right; he forsaketh not his that be godly but they are preserved for ever.
26 The righteous is ever merciful, and lendeth: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.
For the LORD loveth † the thing that is right; he forsaketh not his that be godly but they are preserved for ever.

Appointed Canticle Te Deum Benedicite
In a contrite heart and an humble spirit let us be accepted of thee, O Lord, * and so let our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, that it may be well-pleasing unto thee, O Lord our God.
The Song of Moses Cantemus Domino
Exodus 15:1-19
I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously; * the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
The Lord is my strength and song; * and he is become my salvation:
He is my God and I will prepare him an habitation; * my father's God and I will exalt him.
The Lord is a man of war; * the Lord is his Name.
Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea; * his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red Sea.
The depths have covered them; * they sank into the bottom as a stone.
Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: * thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
And in the greatness of thine excellency † thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: * thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, * the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
The enemy said, † I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; * my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: * they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? * who is like thee, glorious in holiness,
fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Thou stretchedst out thy right hand; * the earth swallowed them.
Thou in thy mercy led forth the people
which thou hast redeemed; * thou hast guided them in thy strength
unto thy holy habitation.
The people shall hear, and be afraid: * sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; * the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
Fear and dread shall fall upon them; † by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; * till thy people pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them * in the mountain of thine inheritance,
In the place, O Lord, which thou hast
made for thee to dwell in; * in the sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
The Lord shall reign * for ever and for ever.
For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, * and the Lord brought again the waters of the sea upon them;
But the children of Israel went on dry land * in the midst of the sea.
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.
In a contrite heart and an humble spirit let us be accepted of thee, O Lord, * and so let our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, that it may be well-pleasing unto thee, O Lord our God.
We Praise Thee Te Deum laudamus
In a contrite heart and an humble spirit let us be accepted of thee, O Lord, * and so let our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, that it may be well-pleasing unto thee, O Lord our God.
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:
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 adorable, 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.
When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man,
thou didst humble thyself to be born of a Virgin.
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.
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.
In a contrite heart and an humble spirit let us be accepted of thee, O Lord, * and so let our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, that it may be well-pleasing unto thee, O Lord our God.

Let us serve the Lord † in holiness, * and he will deliver us out of the hand of our enemies.
BLESSED be the Lord God of Israel, * for he hath visited and redeemed his people;
And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us * in the house of his servant David,
As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, * which have been since the world began:
That we should be saved from our enemies, * and from the hand of all that hate us;
To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers, * and to remember his holy covenant;
To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather Abraham, * that he would give us,
That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies * might serve him without fear,
In holiness and righteousness before him, * all the days of our life.
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest, *
for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people * for the remission of their sins,
Through the tender mercy of our God, * whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us;
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, * and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
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 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.
