Response 8.

Lesson 9. Jonah ii. 2-10.

Response 9.

Oh that my words were now written, oh that they were printed in a book!

That they were graven with an iron pen and lead, in the rock for ever!

For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

If Thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss, O Lord, who may abide it? but there is mercy with Thee,

Wash me throughly from my wickedness, and cleanse me from my sin.

But there is mercy with Thee.

I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.

Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

The waters compassed me about, even to the soul; the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapt about my head.

I went down to the bottoms of the mountains: the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.

me,

I remembered the LORD,

When my soul fainted within and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. They that observe lying vanities, forsake their own mercy.

But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed: salvation is of the LORD.

And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

I am the Resurrection and the Life, he that believeth in
me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.

And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die.
Though he were dead, yet shall he live.

With Thee is the well of life, &c.

Though he were dead, yet shall he live.

I said, in the cutting off of my days I shall go to the gates the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years, &c. I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

I reckoned till morning, that as a lion so will he break all my bones from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.

:

Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove; mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.

What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.

O LORD, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.

§ 8. SERVICE FOR THE SUNDAYS IN ADVENT.

[Sections 2 and 3 form the respective bases to this and the following section, the letters and numbers marking the substitutions: the Hymns at Matins, Lauds, and Vespers are the only portion of the Services not given. Christmas Day is here supposed to fall on a Sunday. The Service for St. Thomas's necessarily affects the Lauds and dependent Hours on the 21st: with this exception no notice is taken of Festivals, which materially alter the Advent Services as actually performed in the Latin Church. It is instructive to compare the Sunday Services as they here stand, with ours, which are formed from them.]

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: for the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

I look afar off, and behold, I see the power of God coming, and a cloud covering the whole earth: Go ye forth to meet Him, and say: Tell us, whether Thou be He who shall rule over the people Israel.

All ye children of the earth and sons of men, the rich and the poor together.

Go ye forth to meet Him, and say: Tell us, whether Thou

be He who shall rule over the people Israel.

From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
