℣ O God, ✠ hasten to mine aid

℟ 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. (outside lent:) Alleluia. (from Septuagesima to Holy Saturday:) Praise be to Thee, O Lord, King of glory everlasting.

Remember, O creator Lord,
That in the Virgin's sacred womb
Thou wast conceived, and of her flesh
Didst our mortality assume.

Mother of grace! O Mary blest!
To thee, sweet fount of love, we fly;
Shield us through life, and take us hence
To thy dear bosom, when we die.

O Jesu! born of Virgin bright,
Immortal glory be to Thee;
Praise to the Father infinite,
And Holy Ghost eternally.

Amen.

Ant. Fear not, O Mary: thou hast found grace before the Lord: behold, thou shalt conceive, and shalt bring forth a Son, Alleluia.

• Unto Thee have I lifted up mine eyes, O Thou that dwellest in the heavens.
• Behold, as the eyes of slaves are on the hands of their masters;
• As the eyes of a handmaid are on the hands of her mistress, so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until He have mercy upon us.
• Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us; for we are greatly filled with contempt.
• Yea, our soul is greatly filled: we are the reproach of the rich, the contempt of the proud.
• 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.

• If the Lord had not been with us, now may Israel say: If the Lord had not been with us,
• When men rose up against us, peradventure they had swallowed us up alive;
• When their fury was enkindled against us, perchance the waters had swallowed us up.
• Our soul hath passed through a torrent: peradventure our soul would have passed through overwhelming waters.
• Blessed be the Lord, Who hath not given us up to be a prey unto their teeth.
• Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the fowlers.
• The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
• Our help is in the name of the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.
• 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.

• They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth in Jerusalem.
• The hills stand round about her: even so is the Lord round about His people from this time forth for evermore.
• For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners over the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands unto wickedness.
• Do well, O Lord, unto those that are good, and unto them that are right of heart.
• But such as turn aside unto deceits, the Lord shall number with the workers of iniquity; but peace shall be upon 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.

Ant. Fear not, O Mary: thou hast found grace before the Lord: behold, thou shalt conceive, and shalt bring forth a Son, Alleluia.
