O Lord, the only-begotten Son, Jesu Christ; O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father, have mercy upon us. For thou only art holy; thou only art the Lord; thou only, O Christ, with the Holy Ghost, art the most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen. _____________________________________ Grieve not the Holy Spirit: Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake, hath forgiven you. Amen. _____________________________________ Psalm 122: I Was Glad I was glad when they said unto me, We will go into the house of the LORD. Our feet shall stand in thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is builded as a city that is at unity in itself. For thither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the LORD, to testify unto Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the LORD. For there is the seat of judgment, seat of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and plentousness within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions' sakes, I will wish thee prosperity, Yea, because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek to do thee good. _____________________________________ Magnificat: My 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 shewed 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. _____________________________________ Nunc dimittis: Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace according to thy word. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; To be a light to lighten the Gentiles and to be the glory of thy people Israel. _____________________________________ Jubilate Deo: Jubilate Deo; O be joyful in the Lord all ye lands: Serve the Lord with gladness, And come before His presence with a song. Be ye sure that the Lord He is God; It is He that hath made us and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. O go your way into His gates with Thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise; Be thankful to Him and speak good of His name. For the Lord is gracious, His mercy is everlasting; And His truth endureth from generation to generation. Glory be to the Father; Glory be to the Son; Glory be to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, Is now and ever shall be, World without end, Amen. _____________________________________
