3. _For_, be- | hold, from | henceforth || all _gen_er- | a-tions shall |
call me | blessed.
4. For He that is _mighty_ hath | magni-fied | me, || _and_ | ho-ly | is
His | name.
5. And His mer_cy_ is on | them that | fear Him || _through-_ | out all |
gen-er- | ations.
6. He hath showed _strength_ | with His | arm; || He hath scattered the
proud in the im_ag_i- | na-tion | of their | hearts.
7. He hath put down the _mighty_ | from their | seats || and _hath_ ex- |
alted the | humble and | meek.
8. He hath filled the _hun_gry | with good | things, || and the _rich_ He
hath | sent — | empty a- | way.
9. He, remembering His mercy, hath holpen His _ser_vant | Is-ra- | el,
|| as He promised to our fore-fathers, Abra_ham_ | and his | seed for- |
ever.
Glory be to the _Fa_ther | and to the | Son || _and_ | to the | Ho-ly |
Ghost,
As it was in the beginning, is _now_, and | ev-er | shall be, || _world_
without | end! — | _A-_ — | _men_.

Dominus Regit Me.
1. The _Lord_ | is my | Shepherd, || I | shall | not | want.
2. He maketh me to lie _down_ in | green | pastures; || He leadeth _me_
be- | side the | still — | waters.
3. _He_ re- | storeth my | soul; || He leadeth me in the paths of
righteous_ness_ | for His | name’s | sake.
4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of _death_, I will
| fear no | evil; || for Thou art with me; Thy _rod_ and Thy | staff,
they | comfort | me.
5. Thou preparest a table before me in the _pres_ence | of mine |
enemies; || Thou anointest my head with _oil_; my | cup | run-neth | over.
6. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the _days_ | of my |
life, || and I will dwell in the _house_ | of the | Lord for- | ever.
Glory be to the _Fa_ther | and to the | Son || _and_ | to the | Ho-ly |
Ghost,
As it was in the beginning, is _now_, and | ev-er | shall be, || _world_
without | end! — | _A-_ — | _men_.

De Profundis.
1. Out of the deep have I called unto _Thee_, O | Lord! || _Lord_, hear
my | voice!
2. O let Thine ears con_sid_er | well || the voice of _my_ com- | plaint.
3. If Thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is _done_ a- | miss, || O
Lord, who _may_ a- | bide it?
4. For there is mer_cy_ with | Thee; || therefore shalt _Thou_ be |
feared.
5. I look for the Lord; my soul doth _wait_ for | Him; || in His _Word_
is my | trust.
6. My soul _fleeth_ unto the | Lord || before the morning watch, I say,
before the _morn_ing | watch.
7. O Israel, trust in the Lord; for with the _Lord_ there is | mercy, ||
and with Him is plent_eous_ re- | demption.
8. And He shall re_deem_ Isra- | el || from _all_ his sins.
Glory be to the _Fa_ther | and to the | Son || _and_ | to the | Ho-ly |
Ghost,
As it was in the beginning, is _now_, and | ev-er | shall be, || _world_
without | end! — | _A-_ — | _men_.

Venite, Exultemus.
1. O come, let us sing | unto the | Lord; || let us make a joyful noise
to the | Rock of | our sal- | vation!
