Antiphon

For the Lord is a great God : and a great King a-bove all gods.In his hand are all the corn-ers 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. Antiphon

O come, let us wor-ship 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. Antiphon

To day if ye will hear his voice, hard-en not your hearts : as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness;When your fath-ers tempted me : proved me, and saw my works. Antiphon

Forty years long was I grieved with this gene-ra-tion, and said : It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways.Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter in-to my rest. Antiphon

5 Likewise reckon ye also your-selves to be dead indeed un-to sin :but alive unto God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6.9-11


6 Christ is risen from the dead :and become the first fruits of them that slept.

7 For since by man came death : by man came also the resurrection of the dead.8 For as in Adam all die : even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Benedictus 1

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 hands 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 hands 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 Spirit:as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,world without end. Amen.

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 Catholick Church;The Communion of Saints: The Forgiveness of sins: The Resurrection of the body, And the Life everlasting. Amen.

Then shall follow three Collects

MatinsThe second Collect, for Peace.O God, who art the author of peace and lover of concord, in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life, whose service is perfect freedom; Defend us thy humble servants in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in thy defence, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The third Collect, for Grace.O Lord, our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day; Defend us in the same with thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger; but that all our doings may be ordered by thy governance, to do always that is righteous in thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

EvensongThe Second Collect at Evening Prayer.O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed; Give unto thy servants that peace which the world cannot give; that our hearts may be set to obey thy commandments, and also that by thee, we, being defended from the fear of our enemies, may pass our time in rest and quietness; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.

The Third Collect, for Aid against all Perils.Lighten our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love of thy only Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.

O may our inmost hearts be pure,From thoughts of folly kept secure,And pride of sinful flesh subduedThrough sparing use of daily food.

So we, when this day’s work is o’er,And shades of night return once more,Our path of trial safely trod,Shall give the glory to our God.

Almighty Father, hear our cry Through Jesus Christ, our Lord Most High, Whom with the Spirit we adore For ever and for evermore.

MirabiliaTHY testimonies are won-derful : therefore doth my söul keep them.130. When thy word goeth forth : it giveth light and understanding un-to the simple.131. I opened my mouth, and drew in my breath : for my delight was in thy commandments.132. O look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me : as thou usest to do unto those that love thy Name.133. Order my steps in thy word : and so shall no wickedness have do-min-ion over me.134. O deliver me from the wrongful dealings of men : and so shall I keep thy commandments.135. Shew the light of thy countenance upon thy serv-ant : and teach me thy statutes.136. Mine eyes gush out with wat-er : because men keep not thy law.Justus es, DomineRIGHTEOUS art thou, O Lord : and true is thy judgement.138. The testimonies that thou hast com-mand-ed : are exceeding right-eous and true.139. My zeal hath even con-su-med me : because mine enemies have for-got-ten thy words.140. Thy word is tried to the ut-termost : and thy ser-vant loveth it.141. I am small, and of no repu-ta-tion : yet do I not forget thy commandments.142. Thy righteousness is an everlasting right-eousness : and thy läw is the truth.143. Trouble and heaviness have taken hold up-on me : yet is my delight in thy commandments.144. The righteousness of thy testimonies is ever-last-ing : O grant me understand-ing, and I shall live.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son: and to the Ho-ly Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be: world with-out end. AmenClamavi in toto corde meoI CALL with my whole heart : hear me, O Lord, I will keep thy statutes.146. Yea, even unto thee do I call : help me, and I shall keep thy tes-timonies.147. Early in the morning do I cry unto thee : for in thy word is my trust.148. Mine eyes prevent the night-watch-es : that I might be occupi-ed in thy words.149. Hear my voice, O Lord, according unto my loving-kind-ness : quicken me, accor-ding as thou art wont.150. They draw nigh that of malice perse-cute me : and are far from thy law.151. Be thou nigh at hand, O Lord : for all thy com-mand-ments are true.152. As concerning thy testimonies, I have known long since : that thou hast grounded them for ever.Vide humilitatemO CONSIDER mine adversity, and de-li-ver me : for I do not forget thy law.154. Avenge thou my cause, and de-li-ver me : quicken me, accor-ding to thy word.155. Health is far from the un-god-ly : for they regard not thy statutes.156. Great is thy mercy, O Lord : quicken me, as thou art wont.157. Many there are that trouble me, and perse-cute me : yet do I not swerve from thy tes-timonies.158. It grieveth me when I see the trans-gress-ors : because they keep not thy law.

159. Consider, O Lord, how I love thy com-mand-ments : O quicken me, according to thy lov-ing kindness.160. Thy word is true from ever-last-ing : all the judgements of thy righteousness en-dure for evermore.Glory be to the Father and to the Son: and to the Ho-ly Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be: world with-out end.

As for lies, I hate and ab-hor them : but thy law do I love.164. Seven times a day do I praise thee : because of thy right-eous judgements.165. Great is the peace that they have who love thy law : and they are not of-fend-ed at it.166. Lord, I have looked for thy saving health : and done after thy commandments.167. My soul hath kept thy testi-mo-nies : and loved them exceedingly.

168. I have kept thy commandments and testi-mo-nies : for all my ways are before thee.Appropinquet deprecatioLET my complaint come before thee, O Lord : give me understanding, accor-ding to thy word.170. Let my supplication come be-fore thee : deliver me, accor-ding to thy word.171. My lips shall speak of thy praise : when thou hast taught me thy statutes.172. Yea, my tongue shall sing of thy word : for all thy command-ments are righteous.173. Let thine hand help me : for I have chosen thy commandments.174. I have longed for thy saving health, O Lord : and in thy law is my delight.175. O let my soul live, and it shall praise thee : and thy judge-ments shall help me.176. I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost : O seek thy servant, for I do not forget thy commandments.Glory be to the Father and to the Son: and to the Ho-ly Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be: world with-out end.

A spiritual reading or poem may be read

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins God is faithful and just, forgives us our sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.

Silence

Holy God, we confess to you before the company of the faithful in heaven and on earth, that we have sinned against you,against one another,and against your creation. Forgive us in your mercy, help us to forgive each other and to hold in reverence all that you have made.

O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine hon-our : and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek af-ter leasing?3. Know this also, that the Lord hath chosen to himself the man that is god-ly: when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me.4.

He shall defend thee under his wings, and thou shalt be safe under his feath-ers : his faithfulness and truth shall be thy shield and buckler.5. Thou shalt not be afraid for any terror by night : nor for the arrow that fli-eth by day;6. For the pestilence that walketh in dark-ness : nor for the sickness that destroyeth in the noon-day.7. A thousand shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy right hand : but it shall not come nigh thee.8. Yea, with thine eyes shalt thou be-hold : and see the reward of the ungodly.9. For thou, Lord, art my hope : thou hast set thine house of de-fënce very high.10. There shall no evil happen unto thee : neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.11. For he shall give his angels charge over thee : to keep thee in all thy ways.

12. They shall bear thee in their hands : that thou hurt not thy foot against a stone.13. Thou shalt go upon the lion and ad-der : the young lion and the dragon shalt thou tread un-der thy feet.14.

That it may please thee to give us true repentance; to forgive us all our sins, negligences, and ignorances; and to endue us with the grace of thy Holy Spirit, to amend our lives according to thy ho-ly Word,We beseech thee to hear us, good Lord.

quicunque vult

At Morning Prayer upon these Feasts; Christmas Day, the Epiphany, Saint Matthias, Easter Day, Ascension Day, Whitsunday, Saint John Baptist, Saint James, Saint Bartholomew, Saint Matthew, Saint Simon and Saint Jude, Saint Andrew, and upon Trinity Sunday, shall be sung or said at Morning Prayer, instead of the Apostles' Creed, this Confession of our Christian Faith, commonly called the Creed of Saint Athanasius, by the Minister and people standing.

Sung to any four part tone, or this:

-`*~vcccRxxx6x5x1x{xQxxx3x1x4x{xRxxx7x6x5x{xExxx6x5x4xbbb] WHOSOEVER will be saved: before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholick Faith.Which Faith except every one do keep whole and undefiled: without doubt he shall perish everlastingly.

And the Catholick Faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;Neither confounding the Persons: nor dividing the Substance.

For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son: and another of the Holy Ghost.But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one: the Glory equal, the Majesty co-eternal.

Such as the Father is, such is the Son: and such is the Holy Ghost.The Father uncreate, the Son uncreate: and the Holy Ghost uncreate.

The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible: and the Holy Ghost incomprehensible.The Father eternal, the Son eternal: and the Holy Ghost eternal.

62

And yet they are not three eternals: but one eternal.As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three uncreated: but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible.

So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty: and the Holy Ghost Almighty.And yet they are not three Almighties: but one Almighty.

So the Father is God, the Son is God: and the Holy Ghost is God.And yet they are not three Gods: but one God.

So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord: and the Holy Ghost Lord.And yet not three Lords: but one Lord.

For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity: to acknowledge every Person by himself to be God and Lord;So are we forbidden by the Catholick Religion: to say there be three Gods, or three Lords.

The Father is made of none: neither created, nor begotten.The Son is of the Father alone: not made, nor created, but begotten.The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son: neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding.

So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons: one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts.And in this Trinity none is afore, or after other: none is greater, or less than another;But the whole three Persons are co-eternal together: and co-equal.

So that in all things, as is aforesaid: the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped.He therefore that will be saved: must thus think of the Trinity.

Furthermore it is necessary to everlasting salvation: that he also believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.For the right Faith is that we believe and confess: that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man;

God, of the Substance of the Father, begotten before the worlds: and Man, of the Substance of his Mother, born in the world;Perfect God, and Perfect Man: of a reasonable soul and human flesh subsisting;Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead: and inferior to the Father, as touching his Manhood.

Who although he be God and Man: yet he is not two, but one Christ;One, not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh: but by taking of the Manhood into God;One altogether, not by confusion of Substance: but by unity of Person.

63

For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man: so God and Man is one Christ.Who suffered for our salvation: descended into hell, rose again the third day from the dead.He ascended into heaven, he sitteth on the right hand of the Father, God Almighty: from whence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

At whose coming all men shall rise again with their bodies: and shall give account for their own works.And they that have done good shall go into life everlasting: and they that have done evil into everlasting fire.

This is the Catholick Faith: which except a man believe faithfully, he cannot be saved.

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.

2 New mercies, each returning day,hover around us while we pray;new perils past, new sins forgiven,new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.

3 If on our daily course our mindbe set to hallow all we find,new treasures still, of countless price,God will provide for sacrifice.

4 The trivial round, the common task,will furnish all we need to ask,room to deny ourselves, a roadto bring us daily nearer God.

5 Only, O Lord, in thy dear lovefit us for perfect rest above;and help us, this and every day,to live more nearly as we pray.

BGlory to thee, who safe hast keptAnd hast refreshed me whilst I slept;Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wakeI may of endless light partake.

Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart,And with the angels bear thy part,Who all night long unwearied singHigh praise to the eternal King.

Lord, I my vows to thee renew;Scatter my sins as morning dew;Guard my first springs of thought and will,And with thyself my spirit fill.

Direct, control, suggest, this dayAll I design, or do, or say;That all my powers, with all their might,In thy sole glory may unite.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow,Praise him all creatures here below,Praise him above, ye heavenly host,Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Through holy prophets God has sworn to free us from alarm,to save us from the heavy hand of all who wish us harm.

Remembering the covenant, God rescues us from fear,that we might serve in holiness and peace from year to year.

And you, my child, shall go before, to preach, to prophesy,that all may know the tender love,the grace of God most high.

In tender mercy, God will send the dayspring from on high,our rising sun, the light of life for those who sit and sigh.

God comes to guide our way to peace, that death shall reign no more.Sing praises to the Holy One, O worship and adore.

To God the Father, fount of grace, through his beloved Son,with God their Spirit, bond of love, be glory ever One.
