Prime — First Hour
Friday, March 20, 2026
Lent


℣. O God, ✠ come to my assistance.
℟. O Lord, make haste to help me.

℣. 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.

── Hymn ──

Now in the sun's new dawning ray,
Lowly of heart, our God we pray
That he from harm may keep us free
In all the deeds this day shall see.
May fear of him our tongues restrain,
Lest strife unguarded speech should stain:
His favouring care our guardian be,
Lest our eyes feed on vanity.
May every heart be pure from sin
And folly find no place therein:
Scant need of food, excess denied,
Wear down in us the body's pride.
That when the light of day is gone,
And night in course shall follow on.
We, free from cares the world affords,
May chant the praise that is our Lord's.
All laud to God the Father be,
All praise, Eternal Son, to thee:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete.
Amen.

── Psalms ──

Ant. Depart not from me, * O Lord, for tribulation is very near; for there is none to help me.

Psalm 21:2-12

O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? * Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.
O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: * and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.
But thou dwellest in the holy place, * the praise of Israel.
In thee have our fathers hoped: * they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.
They cried to thee, and they were saved: * they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
But I am a worm, and no man: * the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.
All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: * they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: * let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.
For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: * my hope from the breasts of my mother. I was cast upon thee from the womb.
From my mother’s womb thou art my God, * depart not from me.
For tribulation is very near: * for there is none to help me.

Psalm 21:13-23

Many calves have surrounded me: * fat bulls have besieged me.
