The LORD declared his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly showed 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.

¶ Or this.

Bonum est confiteri. Psalm xcii.

IT and to sing praises

T is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD: and to sing praises unto thy Name, O Most Highest;

To tell of thy loving-kindness early in the morning and of thy truth in the night season;

Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the lute: upon a loud instrument, and upon the harp. For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy works and I will rejoice in giving praise for the operations of thy hands.

¶ Then a LESSON OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, as it is appointed. And after that shall be sung or said the Hymn called Nunc dimittis, as followeth.

Nunc dimittis. St. Luke ii. 29.

LORD, now lettest thou thy servant depart in

peace according to thy word.

For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

Which thou hast prepared: before the face of all people;

:

To be a light to lighten the Gentiles and to be the glory of thy people Israel.

Or else this Psalm; except it be on the twelfth day of the month.

GOD

Deus misereatur. Psalm lxvii.

OD be merciful unto us, and bless us : and show us the light of his countenance, and be merciful unto us;

That thy way may be known upon earth thy saving health among all nations.

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.

Or this.

Benedic, anima mea. Psalm ciii.
RAISE the LORD, O my soul

PRA

and all that is within me, praise his holy Name.

Praise the LORD, O my soul: and forget not all his benefits:

:

Who forgiveth all thy sin and healeth all thine infirmities;

Who saveth thy life from destruction: and crowneth thee with mercy and loving-kindness.

O praise the LORD, ye angels of his, ye that excel in strength ye that fulfil his commandment, and hearken unto the voice of his word.

O praise the LORD, all ye his hosts: ye servants of his that do his pleasure.

O speak good of the LORD, all ye works of his, in all places of his dominion: praise thou the LORD, O my soul.

• Then shall be said the Apostles' Creed by the Minister and the People, standing. And any Churches may, instead of the words, He descended into hell, use the words, He went into the place of departed spirits, which are considered as words of the same meaning in the Creed.

I

BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary: Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell; The third day he rose again from the dead: He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty: From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost: The holy Catholic Church; The Communion of Saints: The Forgiveness of sins: The Resurrection of the body: And the Life everlasting. Amen.

I

Or this.

BELIEVE in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And of all things visible and invisible:

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God; Begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of very God; Begotten, not made; Being of one substance with the Father; By whom all things were made: Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, And was made man: And was

crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate: He suffered and was buried: And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures: And ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of the Father: And he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; Whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost, The Lord, and Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the Son: Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; Who spake by the Prophets: And I believe one Catholic and Apostolic Church: I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins: And I look for the Resurrection of the dead: And the Life of the world to come. Amen.

Then shall be said the COLLECT FOR THE DAY, and after that the
Collects and Prayers following.

A Collect for Peace.

GOD, from whom all holy desires, all good coun

sels, and all just works do proceed; Give unto thy servants that peace which the world cannot give; that our hearts may be set to obey thy commandments, and also that by thee, we, being defended from the fear of our enemies, may pass our time in rest and quietness; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour.
