 beseech Thee,  so  to  reverence the  sacred  mysteries  of Thy  body  and  blood,  that  we may  ever  perceive  within  us the  fruit  of  Thy  redemption; Who livest  and  reignest, world without  end. Amen.

''Antiphon. Remember not,  O  Lord,  our  offences,  nor those  of  our  fathers;  neither  take  Thou  vengeance  of  our  sin.''

ow   lovely   are  Thy tabernacles, O  Lord of hosts:    my  soul longeth and  fainteth  for the courts  of  the  Lord.

My heart  and  my  flesh have rejoiced  in  the  living God.

For the  sparrow  hath found her  a  house,  and  the turtle a  nest  for  herself, where she  may  lay  her young:

Even Thine  altars,  O Lord  of  hosts:  my  king and my  God.

Blessed are  they  that dwell in  Thy  house,  O  Lord: they shall  praise  Thee  for ever and  ever.

Blessed is  the  man  whose help is  in  Thee:  in  his heart he  hath  disposed  to ascend  by  steps,  in  the vale of  tears,  in  the  place which he  hath  set.

For the  lawgiver  shall give a  blessing:  they  shall  go from  strength  to  strength: the God  of  gods  shall  be seen  in  Sion.

O Lord  God  of  hosts, hear my  prayer:  give  ear, O God  of  Jacob.

Behold, O  God,  our  protector: and  look  upon  the face of  Thy  Christ.

For one  day  in  Thy courts: is  better  than  a thousand.

I had rather  be  despised in the  house  of  my  God, than to  dwell  in  the  tents of sinners.

For God  loveth  mercy and truth:  the  Lord  will give grace  and  glory.

He will  not  withhold good things  from  them  that walk in  innocence:  O  Lord of hosts,  blessed  is  the  man that hopeth  in  Thee.

Glory be  to  the  Father, etc.
