 * A

V.    O Lord, show thy mercy upon us; R.    And grant us thy salvation. V.    Endue thy ministers with righteousness; R.    And make thy chosen people joyful. V.    Give peace, O Lord, in all the world; R.    For only in thee can we live in safety. V.    Lord, keep this nation under thy care; R.    And guide us in the way of justice and truth. V.    Let thy way be known upon earth; R.    Thy saving health among all nations. V.    Let not the needy, O Lord, be forgotten; R.    Nor the hope of the poor be taken away. V.    Create in us clean hearts, O God; R.    And sustain us with thy Holy Spirit.


 * B

V.    O Lord, save thy people, and bless thine heritage; R.    Govern them and lift them up for ever. V.    Day by day we magnify thee; R.    And we worship thy Name ever, world without end. V.    Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin; R.    O Lord, have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us. V.    O Lord, let thy mercy be upon us; R.    As our trust is in thee. V.    O Lord, in thee have I trusted; R.    Let me never be confounded.
