1 CHRIST our Passover is sacrificed for us; therefore | let us keep the feast,

2 Not with old leaven, * neither with the leaven of | malice · and | wickedness, || but with the unleavened bread of sin- | cer-i- | ty and | truth.-1 Cor. v: : 7.

3 CHRIST being raised from the dead | dieth no more; || death hath no more do- | min-ion o-ver | Him.

4 For in that He died* He died unto sin

liv-eth un-to | God.

5 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed | un-to | sin, || but alive unto God through | Je-sus | Christ our | Lord.-Rom. vi: 9.

6 CHRIST is risen | from the dead, || and become the first | fruits of them that | slept.

7 For since by | man came | death, || by man came also the resur- | rec-tion of the dead.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, || and | to the | Ho-ly | Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, * is now and ev-er | shall be, || world without | end. — ]

1 Lord, let me know mine end * and the number | of my | days, || that I may be certified how long I have to | live.

2 Behold, Thou hast made my days as it were a | span

long, and mine age is even as nothing in respect of Thee,* and verily every man living is | al-to- | geth-er vanity.

3 For man walketh in a vain shadow * and disquieteth him- | self in | vain; || he heapeth up riches, and cannot tell who shall | gath-er | them.

4 And now, Lord, what | is my | hope? || truly my | hope is | even · in | Thee.

5 Deliver me from all | mine of- | fences, || and make me not a re- | bukę · —; unto

6 When Thou with rebukes dost chasten man for sin, * Thou makest his beauty to consume away * like as it were a moth | fretting a | garment; || every man | there-fore is but vanity.

7 Hear my prayer, O Lord, * and with Thine ears con- sider my | calling; || hold not Thy peace at my tears;

8 For I am a stranger with Thee | and a | sojourner, || as | all my fa-thers were.

*9 O spare me a little * that I may re- cover my | strength; || before I go hence and be no more seen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the | Son, || and | to the Ho-ly | Ghost;

As it was in the beginning,* is now and | ev-er | shall be, || world without end. • Amen.
