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. The Virgin Mary.
Psalm 119. Ad Dominum
A prayer against perfidious enemies.
2 O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips * and from a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee * unto a deceitful tongue.
4 Sharp arrows of they mighty One * with destroying coals of fire.
5 Woe is me, that my sojourn is prolonged! I have dwelt with the inhabitants of Cedar * my soul hath long been a sojourner.
6 With them that hated peace, I was peaceable * when I spake unto them, they fought against me without cause.
Glory Be.
Psalm 120. Levavi oculos
God is the keeper of His servants.
1 I have lifted up mine eyes to the hills * from whence my help shall come.
2 My help is from the Lord * who made both heaven and earth.
3 Let Him not suffer thy foot to be moved * neither let Him slumber that keepeth thee.
4 Behold He that keepeth Israel * shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper * the Lord is thy defence upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not burn thee by day * nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord preserveth thee from all evil * may the Lord preserve thy soul.
8 May the Lord preserve thy coming in and thy going out * from this time forth for evermore.
Glory Be.
Psalm 121. Lætatus sum
Joy of the pilgrim entering Jerusalem.
1 I was glad at the things that were said unto me * We will go into the house of the Lord.
2 Our feet were standing * in thy courts, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city * that is in unity with itself.
4 For thither did the tribes go up the tribes of the Lord * the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.
5 For there are set the seats of judgment * the seats over the house of David.
6 Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem * and plenteousness be to them that love thee.
7 Let peace be in thy strength * and plenteousness in thy towers.
8 For my brethren and companions’ sake * I spake peace concerning thee.
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God * I have sought good things for thee.
Glory Be.
