Four Seasons, and
Vigils, which are
Fasts, except Christ-
mas Eve; it is re-
peated at Vespers
after the Magnifi-
cat with Psalm 51
for Psalm 130. The
Lord’s Prayer is
all aloud.)

    Lord have mercy.  
         *Christ have mercy*.  
     Lord have mercy.  
 Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name,  

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in
heaven, Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our
trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.

I said, Lord, be merciful unto me.
Heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
Turn Thee again, O Lord, at the last.
And be gracious unto Thy servants.
Let Thy merciful kindness, O Lord, be upon us.
Like as we do put our trust in Thee.
Let Thy priests be clothed with righteousness.
And let Thy saints sing with joyfulness.
O Lord, save the king.
And hear us what time we call upon Thee.
O save Thy people, and give Thy blessing unto Thine
inheritance.
Feed them and set them up for ever.
O think upon Thy congregation.
Whom Thou hast purchased and redeemed of old.
Peace be within Thy walls.
And plenteousness within Thy palaces.
Let us pray for the faithful who are departed.
Grant them, O Lord, eternal repose, and may perpetual
light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace.
Amen.

For our brethren who are away.
My God, save Thy servants that put their trust in Thee.
For the afflicted and for captives.
Deliver Israel, O Lord, out of all his troubles.
Send thou help from the sanctuary.
And strengthen them out of Sion.
Lord, hear my prayer.
And let my cry come unto Thee.

Psalm 130.

Out of the deep, &c. Glory, &c.  

Turn us again, Lord God of hosts.
Show the light of Thy countenance and we shall be whole.
Arise, O Christ, help us.
And deliver us for Thy name’s sake. Lord, hear my prayer.
And let my cry come unto Thee.

                The Lord be with you.  
                     *And with thy spirit*.  
                 Let us pray.

(x) Collect
(Oratio.)
(for the day
and week.)

Raise up, we pray Thee, O Lord, Thy power, and come,  

that we, being meet, may be snatched from the perils of our
sins by thy succour, and be saved by Thy deliverance, who
livest, &c.

                The Lord be with you.  
                     *And with thy spirit*.  
                 Let us bless the Lord.  
                     *Thanks be to God*.  

May the souls of the faithful rest in peace.
