Hymn
Remember, O Creator Lord!
That in the Virgin’s sacred womb
Thou wast conceived, and of her flesh
Didst our mortality assume.Mother of grace, O Mary blest!
To thee, sweet fount of love, we fly:
Shield us through life, and take us hence
To thy dear bosom when we die.O Jesu! born of Virgin bright
Immortal glory be to Thee;
Praise to the Father infinite,
And Holy Ghost eternally. Amen.
Ant. Thou art fair.
Psalm 125. In convertendo
The people of God rejoice at their delivery from captivity.
1 When the Lord turned again the captivity of Sion: * then we became like men consoled.
2 Then was our mouth filled with gladness, * and our tongue with joy.
3 Then shall they say among the Gentiles: * the Lord hath done great things for them.
4 Yea, the Lord hath done great things for us, * and we are made joyful.
5 Turn again, O Lord, our captivity, * as a river in the south.
6 They that sow in tears, * shall reap in joy.
7 When they went forth they wept as they went, * scattering their seed.
8 But returning, they shall come with joy: * carrying their sheaves.
Glory Be.
Psalm 126. Nisi Dominus
Man can do nothing without God.
1 Unless the Lord build the house, * they labour in vain that build it.
2 Unless the Lord keep the city, * he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.
3 In vain do ye rise before the dawn: * rise after ye have rested, O ye that eat the bread of sorrow!
4 For He hath given sleep to His beloved: * Lo, children are a heritage from the Lord; and the fruit of the womb a reward.
5 As arrows in the hand of the mighty One, * even so are the children of those that have been cast out.
6 Blessed is the man whose desire is satisfied with them: * he shall not be confounded when he speaketh with his enemies in the gate.
Glory Be.
Psalm 127. Beati omnes
The happiness of the just.
1 Blessed are all they that fear the Lord; * that walk in His ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands, * blessed art thou, and it shall be well with thee.
3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine, * on the walls of thy house.
4 Thy children as olive plants, * round about thy table.
5 Behold, thus shall the man be blessed, * that feareth the Lord.
6 May the Lord bless thee out of Sion; * and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
7 And mayest thou see thy children’s children; * peace upon Israel.
Glory Be.
Ant. Thou art fair and comely, O daughter of Jerusalem: terrible as an army set in array.
The Little Chapter Eccl. 24, 20.
In the streets, like cinnamon and aromatic balm, I gave forth a sweet fragrance: like the choicest myrrh, I yielded a sweetness of odour.

R. And let my cry come unto Thee.
Let us pray. Forgive, O Lord, we beseech Thee, the offences of Thy servants; that we, who are unable to please Thee by our own acts, may be saved by the intercession of the Mother of Thy Son, our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
