Hymn

The God whom earth, and sea, and sky

Adore, and laud, and magnify,

Who o'er their threefold fabric reigns,

The Virgin's spotless womb contains.

The God, whose will by moon and sun

And all things in due course is done,

Is borne upon a maiden's breast,

By fullest heavenly grace possest,

How blest that Mother, in whose shrine

The great artificer divine,

Whose hand contains the earth and sky,

Vouchsafed, as in his ark, to lie.

Blest, in the message Gabriel brought;

Blest, by the work the Spirit wrought;

From whom the great desire of earth

Took human flesh and human birth.

All honour, laud, and glory be,

O Jesu, Virgin-born to thee;

All glory, as is ever meet,

To Father and to Paraclete.

Amen.

104:11 Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, * the lot of your inheritance.

104:12 When they were but a small number: * yea very few, and sojourners therein:

104:13 And they passed from nation to nation, * and from one kingdom to another people.

105:10 And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: * and he led them through the depths, as in a wilderness.

105:11 And he saved them from the hand of them that hated them: * and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

105:14 They had quickly done, they forgot his works: * and they waited not for his counsels.

105:15 And they coveted their desire in the desert: * and they tempted God in the place without water.

105:23 To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them; * and they set at nought the desirable land.

105:24 They believed not his word, and they murmured in their tents: * they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.

105:25 And he lifted up his hand over them: * to overthrow them in the desert;

105:26 And to cast down their seed among the nations, * and to scatter them in the countries.

105:27 They also were initiated to Beelphegor: * and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

105:30 And he distinguished with his lips; * they did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them.

105:31 And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works: and served their idols, * and it became a stumblingblock to them.

105:32 And they sacrificed their sons, * and their daughters to devils.

105:33 And they shed innocent blood: * the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan.

From the epistle of Pope st Leo to Pulcheria Augusta

Epistle 13. in the first half.

And the fulfillment of the mystery of our atonement, which was ordained from all eternity, was not assisted by any figures because the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon the Virgin, and the power of the Most High had not over-shadowed her: so that Wisdom building herself a house within her undefiled body, the Word became flesh; and the form of God and the form of a slave coming together into one person, the Creator of times was born in time; and He Himself through whom all things were made, was brought forth in the midst of all things. For if the New Man had not been made in the likeness of sinful flesh, and taken on Him our old nature, and being consubstantial with the Father, had deigned to be consubstantial with His mother also, and being alone free from sin, had united our nature to Him the whole human race would be held in bondage beneath the Devil's yoke

V. And thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us

R. Thanks be to God.

Te Deum

Now thou art portal of the skies.

Light's gateway fair and glistering;

All glory, as is ever meet,

To Father and to Paraclete. Amen.

Now in the sun's new dawning ray,

Lowly of heart, our God we pray

That he from harm may keep us free

In all the deeds this day shall see.

May fear of him our tongues restrain,

Lest strife unguarded speech should stain:

His favouring care our guardian be,

Lest our eyes feed on vanity.

May every heart be pure from sin

And folly find no place therein:

Scant need of food, excess denied,

Wear down in us the body's pride.

That when the light of day is gone,

And night in course shall follow on.

We, free from cares the world affords,

May chant the praise that is our Lord's.

* All laud to God the Father be,

All praise, Eternal Son, to thee:

All glory, as is ever meet,

To God the holy Paraclete.

Amen.
