✠
1. Now in the sun's new dawning ray, Lowly of heart, our God we pray That he from harm may keep us free In all the deeds this day shall see. 2. May fear of him our tongues restrain, Lest strife unguarded speech should stain: His favouring care our guardian be, Lest our eyes feed on vanity. 3. May every heart be pure from sin And folly find no place therein: Scant need of food, excess denied, Wear down in us the body's pride. 4. That when the light of day is gone, And night in course shall follow on. We, free from cares the world affords, May chant the praise that is our Lord's. 5. All laud to God the Father be, All praise, Eternal Son, to thee: All glory, as is ever meet, To God the holy Paraclete. Amen.
Depart not from me, * O Lord, for tribulation is very near; for there is none to help me.
O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? * Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.
O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: * and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.
But thou dwellest in the holy place, * the praise of Israel.
In thee have our fathers hoped: * they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.
They cried to thee, and they were saved: * they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
But I am a worm, and no man: * the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.
All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: * they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: * let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.
For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: * my hope from the breasts of my mother. I was cast upon thee from the womb.
From my mother’s womb thou art my God, * depart not from me.
For tribulation is very near: * for there is none to help me.
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.
Many calves have surrounded me: * fat bulls have besieged me.
They have opened their mouths against me, * as a lion ravening and roaring.
I am poured out like water; * and all my bones are scattered.
My heart is become like wax melting * in the midst of my bowels.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: * and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.
For many dogs have encompassed me: * the council of the malignant hath besieged me.
They have dug my hands and feet. * They have numbered all my bones.
And they have looked and stared upon me. * They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.
But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; * look towards my defence.
Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: * my only one from the hand of the dog.
Save me from the lion’s mouth; * and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.
I will declare thy name to my brethren: * in the midst of the church will I praise thee.
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 fear the Lord, praise him: * all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him.
Let all the seed of Israel fear him: * because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man.
Neither hath he turned away his face from me: * and when I cried to him he heard me.
With thee is my praise in a great church: * I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him.
The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: * their hearts shall live for ever and ever.
All the ends of the earth * shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord:
And all the kindreds of the Gentiles * shall adore in his sight.
For the kingdom is the Lord’s; * and he shall have dominion over the nations.
All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: * all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him.
And to him my soul shall live: * and my seed shall serve him.
There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: * and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made.
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.
Depart not from me, * O Lord, for tribulation is very near; for there is none to help me.
Regi sæculórum immortáli et invisíbili, † soli Deo honor et glória in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Now to the king of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Orémus.
Dómine Deus omnípotens, qui ad princípium huius diéi nos perveníre fecísti: † tua nos hódie salva virtúte; * ut in hac die ad nullum declinémus peccátum, sed semper ad tuam iustítiam faciéndam nostra procédant elóquia, dirigántur cogitatiónes et ópera.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: † qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, * per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
O Lord, our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who has safely brought us to the beginning of this day: defend us by thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, but that all our doings may be ordered by thy governance, to do always what is righteous in thy sight.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
« Pater Noster » dicitur secreto usque ad « Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: »
Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris:
Orémus.
Dirígere et sanctificáre, régere et gubernáre dignáre, Dómine Deus, Rex cæli et terræ, hódie corda et córpora nostra, sensus, sermónes et actus nostros in lege tua, et in opéribus mandatórum tuórum: † ut hic et in ætérnum, te auxiliánte, salvi et líberi esse mereámur, Salvátor mundi: Qui vivis et regnas in sǽcula sæculórum.
O Lord, Almighty God, King of heaven and earth, Saviour of the world, bless, lead, rule and govern our hearts and bodies, our senses, words and deeds today, following thy law and commandments, that here and for eternity with thy help we shall be saved in freedom. Who livest and reignest, world without end.
Dies et actus nostros in sua pace dispónat Dóminus omnípotens.
Ipsi períbunt, tu autem permanébis; et omnes sicut vestiméntum veteráscent: et velut amíctum mutábis eos, et mutabúntur: tu autem idem ipse es, et anni tui non defícient.
They shall perish, but thou shalt continue: and they shall all grow old as a garment. And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.
