── Hymn ──

O strength and stay upholding all creation,
Who ever dost thyself unmoved abide,
Yet day by day the light in due gradation
From hour to hour through all its changes guide:
Grant to life’s day a calm unclouded ending,
An eve untouched by shadows of decay,
The brightness of a holy death-bed blending
With dawning glories of th’ eternal day.
Hear us, O Father, gracious and forgiving,
And thou, O Christ, the co-eternal Word,
Who, with the Holy Ghost, by all things living
Now and to endless ages art adored.
Amen.

── Psalms ──

Ant. Mercy and truth * shall go before thy face, O Lord.

Psalm 88:2-19

The mercies of the Lord * I will sing for ever.
I will shew forth thy truth with my mouth * to generation and generation.
For thou hast said: Mercy shall be built up for ever in the heavens: * thy truth shall be prepared in them.
I have made a covenant with my elect: I have sworn to David my servant: * Thy seed will I settle for ever.
And I will build up thy throne * unto generation and generation.
The heavens shall confess thy wonders, O Lord: * and thy truth in the church of the saints.
For who in the clouds can be compared to the Lord: * or who among the sons of God shall be like to God?
God, who is glorified in the assembly of the saints: * great and terrible above all them that are about him.
O Lord God of hosts, who is like to thee? * thou art mighty, O Lord, and thy truth is round about thee.
Thou rulest the power of the sea: * and appeasest the motion of the waves thereof.
Thou hast humbled the proud one, as one that is slain: * with the arm of thy strength thou hast scattered thy enemies.
Thine are the heavens, and thine is the earth: the world and the fulness thereof thou hast founded: * the north and the sea thou hast created.
Thabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name: * thy arm is with might.
Let thy hand be strengthened, and thy right hand exalted: * justice and judgment are the preparation of thy throne.
Mercy and truth shall go before thy face: * blessed is the people that knoweth jubilation.
They shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance: and in thy name they shall rejoice all the day, * and in thy justice they shall be exalted.
For thou art the glory of their strength: * and in thy good pleasure shall our horn be exalted.
For our protection is of the Lord, * and of our king the holy one of Israel.

Psalm 88:20-38

Then thou spokest in a vision to thy saints, and saidst: * I have laid help upon one that is mighty, and have exalted one chosen out of my people.
