O Lamb without blemish and without spot, who hast redeemed me with Thy precious Blood, in that very Blood pity me and save me; in that Blood,

and in that very Name,

besides which is none other under heaven

given among men,

by which we must be saved.

O God, Thou knowest my foolishness,
and my sins are not hid from Thee.
Lord, Thou knowest all my desire,
and my groaning is not hid from Thee.
Let not them that Trust in Thee,
O Lord God of hosts,

be ashamed for my cause;

let not those that seek Thee be confounded through me,

O Lord God of Israel.

Take me out of the mire that I sink not;
let me be delivered from them that hate me,
and out of the deep waters;

Let not the water-flood drown me,

neither let the deep swallow me up,

and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

Two things have I required of Thee, O Lord,
deny Thou me not before I die;
remove far from me vanity and lies;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
feed me with food convenient for me;
lest I be full and deny Thee

in the Only-begotten Son, sonship,
in the Lord, a master's treatment,
in His conception and birth

the cleansing of our unclean conception and birth ;
in His sufferings, which we owed,
that we might not pay;

in His cross the curse of the law removed;
in His death the sting of death;

in His burial eternal destruction in the tomb;
in His descent, whither we ought,
that we might not go;

in His resurrection,

as the first fruits of them that sleep;
in His ascent, to prepare a place for us;
in His sitting, to appear and intercede ;
in His return, to take unto Him His own;
in His judgment, to render to each
according to his works.

In the Holy Ghost, power from on high,
transforming unto sanctity

from without and invisibly,
yet inwardly and evidently.
In the Church, a body mystical

of the called out of the whole world,
unto intercourse in faith and holiness.

In the communion of Saints, members of this body, a mutual participation in holy things,

for confidence of remission of sins, for hope of resurrection, of translation, to life everlasting.

(4.) INTERCESSION.

And I have hoped in Thy mercy
from everlasting to everlasting.
How excellent is Thy mercy, O Lord;
If I have hope, it is in Thy mercy,
O let me not be disappointed of my hope..
Moreover we beseech Thee,

remember all, Lord, for good;
have pity upon all, O Sovereign Lord,
be reconciled with us all.

Give peace to the multitudes of Thy people;
scatter offences;

abolish wars;

stop the uprisings of heresies.

Thy peace and love

vouchsafe to us, O God our Saviour,›

the Hope of all the ends of the earth.
