All the earth doth worship thee, the Father everlasting.

To thee all angels cry aloud; the heavens, and all the powers therein.

To thee cherubim and seraphim continually do cry,

Holy, holy, holy Lord God of sabaoth.

Heaven and earth are full of the majesty of thy glory.

The glorious company of the apostles praise thee.

The goodly fellowship of the prophets praise thee.

The noble army of martyrs praise thee.

The holy church throughout all the world doth acknowledge thee,

The Father of an infinite majesty ;
Thine honorable, true, and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost, the Comforter.
Thou art the King of glory, O Lord;

And Jesus Christ is thy well-beloved Son.

When thou gavest him to deliver man, it pleased thee that he should be born of a virgin.

When he had overcome the sharpness of death, he did open the kingdom of heaven to all believers.

He sitteth at the right hand of God, in the glory of the Father.

We believe that he shall come to be our judge.

We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, whom thou hast redeemed through his most precious blood.

Make them to be numbered with thy saints, in glory everlasting.

O Lord, save thy people, and bless thine heritage.
Govern them, and lift them up for ever.

Day by day we magnify thee;

And we worship thy name ever, world without end. Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin. O Lord, have mercy upon us; have mercy upon us. O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, as our trust is in thee.

LESSED be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited

For the Lord is gracious; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth from generation to generation.

For He who is mighty hath magnified me; and holy is his

name.

And his mercy is on them that fear him, throughout all generations.

He hath shown 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.

Cantate Domino. PSALM XCVIII.

SING unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things.

With his own right hand and with his holy arm hath he gotten himself the victory.

The Lord declared his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shown in the sight of the heathen.

He hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel; and all the ends of the world have seen the salvation of our God.

Show yourselves joyful unto the Lord, all ye lands; sing, rejoice, and give thanks.

Praise the Lord upon the harp; sing to the harp with a psalm of thanksgiving;

With trumpets also and shawms, O show yourselves joyful before the Lord the King.

Let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is; the round world, and they that dwell therein.

Let the floods clap their hands, and let the hills be joyful together before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth.

With righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

Let the people praise thee, O God; yea, let all the people praise thee.

O let the nations rejoice and be glad; for thou shalt judge the folk righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.

Let the people praise thee, O God; yea, let all the people praise thee.

Then shall the earth bring forth her increase; and God, even our own God, shall give us his blessing.

God shall bless us, and all the ends of the world shall fear him.

HOW amiable are thy dwellings, thou Lord of hosts!

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth, for the courts of the Lord: my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

As a sparrow findeth a house, and the swallow a nest where she may lay her young; so let me dwell at thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.

Blessed are they who dwell in thy house: they will be always praising thee.

Blessed are the men whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are thy ways.

They will go from strength to strength, till every one of them appeareth before God in Zion.

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand elsewhere.

I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of ungodliness.

For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will he withhold from those who walk uprightly.

O Lord God of hosts, blessed is the man who trusteth in thee.

My help cometh from the Lord, who hath made heaven and earth.

He will not not suffer thy foot to be moved: He who keepeth thee will not sleep.
