To thee all Angels cry aloud: the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.

To thee Cherubin, and Sera­phin: continually do cry,

Holy, Holy, Holy: Lord God of Sabaoth;

Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty of thy Glory.

MORNING PRAYER.

The glorious company of the Apostles: praise thee.

The goodly fellowship of the Prophets praise thee.

The noble army of Martyrs:

The holy Church throughout all the world: doth acknowledge thee; The Father of an infinite Ma­jesty; Thine honourable, true and only Son;

Also the Holy Ghost: the Com­forter.

Thou art the King of Glory: 0 Christ.

Thou art the everlasting Son: of the Father.

When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man: thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.

When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.

Thou sittest at the right hand of God: in the Glory of the Father.

We believe that thou shalt come to be our Judge.

We therefore pray thee, help thy servants: whom thou hast re­deemed with thy precious blood.

Make them to be numbered with thy Saints: in glory everlasting.

O Lord, save thy people and bless thine heritage.

Govern them and lift them up for ever.

Day by day: we magnify thee; And we worship thy Name: ever world without end.

Vouchsafe, O Lord: to keep us this day without sin.

O Lord, have mercy upon us: have mercy upon us.

O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us as our trust is in thee. O Lord, in thee have I trusted: let me never be confounded.
