With his own right hand, and with his holy arm: hath he gotten
himself the victory.
The Lord declared his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly
shewed in the sight of the heathen.
He hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel:
and all the ends of the world have seen the salvation of our God.
Shew yourselves joyful unto the Lord, all ye lands: sing, rejoice,
and give thanks.
Praise the Lord upon the harp: sing to the harp with a psalm of
thanksgiving.
With trumpets also and shawms: O shew yourselves joyful before
the Lord the King.
Let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is: the round
world, and they that dwell therein.
Let the floods clap their hands, and let the hills be joyful
together before the Lord: for he cometh to judge the earth.
With righteousness shall he judge the world: and the people with
equity.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world
without end. Amen.
_Then a Lesson of the New Testament, as it is appointed. And
after that_ Nunc dimittis (_or the Song of Simeon_) _in English,
as followeth_.
NUNC DIMITTIS.
St Luke ii. 29.
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace: according to
thy word.
For mine eyes have seen: thy salvation;
Which thou hast prepared: before the face of all people;
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles: and to be the glory of
thy people Israel.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world
without end. Amen.
_Or else this Psalm: Except it be on the twelfth day of the month_.
DEUS MISEREATUR.
Psalm lxvii.
God be merciful unto us, and bless us: and shew us the light of
his countenance, and be merciful unto us:
That thy way may be known upon earth; thy saving health among all
nations.
Let the people praise thee, O God: yea, let all the people praise
thee.
O let the nations rejoice and be glad: for thou shalt judge the
folk righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.
Let the people praise thee, O God: yea, let all the people praise
thee.
Then shall the earth bring forth her increase: and God, even our
own God, shall give us his blessing.
God shall bless us: and all the ends of the world shall fear him.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world
without end. Amen.
_Then shall be said or sung the Apostles Creed, by the Minister
and the people standing_.
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by
the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius
Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven,
And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From
thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
