Hymnus

1. Come Holy Ghost who ever One Art with the Father and the Son, It is the hour, our souls possess With thy full flood of holiness. 2. Let flesh and heart and lips and mind Sound forth our witness to mankind; And love light up our mortal frame, Till others catch the living flame. 3. Almighty Father, hear our cry, Through Jesus Christ, our Lord most High, Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee, Doth live and reign eternally. Amen.

Psalmus 39 (2,9)

The Lord hath heard * my supplication: the Lord hath received my prayer.

Orémus.

Deus, cuius Unigénitus in substántia nostræ carnis appáruit: † præsta, quǽsumus; ut per eum, quem símilem nobis foris agnóvimus, * intus reformári mereámur: †
Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, * per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.

O God, Whose only-begotten Son appeared in the substance of our flesh, grant, we beseech thee, that we who acknowledge His outward likeness to us may deserve to be inwardly refashioned in His image.
Who with thee liveth and reigneth, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end.
