 Lord, Behold, thou shalt conceive and shalt bring forth a Son, Alleluia.

he Lord shall give Him * the throne of David His father, and He shall reign for ever.

he bush which Moses saw unconsumed we acknowledge to be thine admirable virginity, which thou didst keep inviolate; Mother of God, plead for us.

he root of Jesse hath budded, * a star hath arisen out of Jacob; a virgin hath brought forth a Saviour; we give praise to Thee, Our God.

nless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.

Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.

In vain do ye rise before the light: rise not till ye have rested, ye that eat the bread of sorrow.
