As it was in the beginning, is now, ever shall be: world without end. Amen.

Antiphon. Being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ neither is there any condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.

THE CHAPTER. Isaiah lxv., lv.

REJOICE ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her; rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her: that ye may drink and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money, come buy wine and milk without money and without price.

B. Thanks be to God.

HYMN. Lucis creator optime.

Father of Lights, by whom each day

Is kindled out of night;

Who, when the Heavens were made, didst lay
Their rudiments in light:

Thou who didst bind and blend in one
The glistening morn and evening pale,
Hear thou our prayer when light is gone
And lawlessness and strife prevail.

Hear, lest the whelming weight of crime
Wreck us with life in view;

Lest thoughts and schemes of sense and time
Earn us a sinner's due.

So may we knock at Heaven's bright door,
And strive the prize of life to win,
Continually and evermore

Guarded without and pure within.

This grace on thy redeemed confer,
Father, co-equal Son,

And Holy Ghost the Comforter,
Eternal Three in One. Amen.

V. Make me a clean heart, O God.
B. And renew a right spirit within me.

Antiphon. If God be for us, who can be against us?

MY

Magnificat. St. Luke i.

Y soul doth magnify the Lord: and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 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 and the rich he hath sent empty

things

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.

Antiphon. If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

V. Lord, hear my prayer.

B. And let my cry come unto thee.

Let us pray.

ORD of all power and might, who art the author and giver of all good things: Graft in our hearts the love of thy name, increase in us true religion, nourish us with all goodness, and of thy great mercy keep us in the same; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Here may be said any of the Prayers of the Passion, preceded by the Blessing and Response at their commencement, "Blessed be the Father," &c., p. 35.

Compline.

Turn us, O God our Saviour.
And let thine anger cease from us.
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.

Antiphon. Save us, good Lord, waking, and keep us sleeping.

PSALM XIII. Usque quo, Domine ? [OW long wilt thou forget me, O Lord, for ever: how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

2 How long shall I seek counsel in my soul, and be so vexed in my heart: how long shall mine enemies triumph over me?

3 Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, that I sleep not in death.

4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed

:

against him for if I be cast down, they that trouble me will rejoice at it.

5 But my trust is in thy mercy and my heart is joyful in thy salvation.

6 I will sing of the Lord, because he hath dealt so lovingly with me: yea, I will praise the Name of the Lord most Highest.

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.

PSALM XLIII. Judica me, Deus.

IVE sentence with me, O God, and de

people: O deliver me from the deceitful and wicked man.

2 For thou art the God of my strength, why hast thou put me from thee: and why go I so heavily, while the enemy oppresseth

me?

3 O send out thy light and thy truth, that they may lead me and bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy dwelling.

4 And that I may go unto the altar of God, even unto the God of my joy and gladness and upon the harp will I give thanks unto thee, O God, my God.

:

5 Why art thou so heavy, O my soul and why art thou so disquieted within me ?

6 O put thy trust in God: for I will yet give him thanks, which is the help of my countenance, and my God.
