O God, you are my God,
eagerly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you, my flesh faints for you,
as in a barren and dry land where there is no water.
1 Therefore I have gazed upon you in your holy place,
4 that I might behold your power and your glory.
For your loving kindness is better than life itself,
my lips shall give you praise;
so will I bless you as long as I live,
and lift up my hands in your name.
My soul is content, as with marrow and fatness,
and my mouth praises you with joyful lips,
when I remember you upon my bed,
and meditate on you in the night watches.
For you have been my helper,
and under the shadow of your wings I will rejoice.
My soul clings to you;
your right hand holds me fast.
May those who seek my life to destroy it
go down into the depths of the earth;
let them fall upon the edge of the sword,
and let them be food for jackals.
But the king will rejoice in God;
all those who swear by him will be glad;
for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
3

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and shall be for ever. Amen.
Antiphon
V The Most High will command his angels.
R To keep you in all your ways.
Troparion
Gladdened by the fast and rejoicing in song, while gaining mastery over
the passions through our prayers, let us trample underfoot the snares of
the tempter. Let us cry aloud with one accord to Christ: Count us
worthy to contemplate the mystery of your Cross, and the saving mercy
shown forth in your compassion. Amen.

Now Christ, thou Sun of righteousness,
Let dawn our darkened spirits bless:
The light of grace to us restore
While day to earth returns once more.
Thou who dost give th’ accepted time,
Give too a heart that mourns for crime,
Let those by mercy now be cured
Whom loving-kindness long endured.
Spare not, we pray, to send us here
Some penance kindly but severe,
So let thy gift of pard’ning grace
Our grievous sinfulness efface.
Soon will that day, thy day, appear
And all things with its brightness cheer:
We will rejoice in it, as we
Return thereby to grace and thee.
4

Let all the world from shore to shore
Thee, gracious Trinity, adore;
Right soon thy loving pardon grant
That we our new-made song may chant. Amen.

pierced by the wicked arrows of the demons. Grant that restored
thereby to faith and love, I may glorify you for ever. Amen.

In the Cross of Christ I glory,
Towering o’er the wrecks of time;
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.
When the woes of life o’ertake me,
Hopes deceive and fears annoy,
Never shall the Cross forsake me:
Lo! it glows with peace and joy.
When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way,
From the Cross the radiance streaming,
Adds more lustre to the day.
Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the Cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide.

The Lord is the king of glory, his throne is established from of old.
-v`vvvÓv^vvvÓvvvv5vvvvv6vvvvv7vvvvvv]vvvvÓv^vvvÓvvvv5vvvvv4vvvvv3vvvvvvv}
The Lord is king, and has put on robes of glory; *
the Lord has put on his glory,
he has girded himself with strength
He has made the world so firm *
that it cannot be moved.
Your throne is established from of old; *
you are from everlasting.
The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
the floods have lifted up their voice; *
the floods lift up their pounding.
But mightier than the sound of many waters,
than the mighty waters or the breakers of the sea, *
the Lord on high is mighty.
Your decrees are very sure, *
and holiness, O Lord, adorns your house for ever.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be for ever. Amen.

glorify your ineffable condescension, O compassionate lover of mankind.

Come, let us to the Lord our God
With contrite hearts return;
Our God is gracious, nor will leave
The desolate to mourn.
Long has the night of sorrow reigned,
The dawn shall bring us light;
God shall appear, and we shall rise
With gladness in his sight.
Our hearts, if God we seek to know,
Shall know him and rejoice;
His coming like the morn shall be,
Like morning songs his voice.
As dew upon the tender herb
Diffusing fragrance round;
As showers that usher in the spring,
And cheer the thirsty ground:
10

So shall his presence bless our souls,
And shed a joyful light;
That hallowed morn shall chase away
The sorrows of the night.

O Thou who camest from above
The pure celestial fire to impart,
Kindle a flame of sacred love
On the mean altar of my heart.
There let it for Thy glory burn
With inextinguishable blaze;
And trembling to its source return,
In humble prayer and fervent praise.
Jesus, confirm my heart’s desire
To work, and speak, and think for Thee;
Still let me guard the holy fire,
And still stir up Thy gift in me.
Ready for all Thy perfect will,
My acts of faith and love repeat,
Till death Thy endless mercies seal,
And make the sacrifice complete.

O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
How passing thought and fantasy
That God, the Son of God, should take
Our mortal form for mortals’ sake.
He sent no angel to our race
Of higher or of lower place,
But wore the robe of human frame,
And he himself to this world came.
For us baptized, for us he bore
His holy fast, and hungered sore;
For us temptations sharp he knew;
For us the tempter overthrew.
For us to wicked men betrayed,
Scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed;
For us he bore the Cross’s death;
For us at length gave up his breath.

For us he rose from death again,
For us he went on high to reign,
For us he sent his Spirit here
To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
To you, O Christ, our loving King,
All glory, praise and thanks we bring;
All glory as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete. Amen.

Benedictus
Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel
for he has come to his people and set them free.
He has raised up for us a mighty Saviour,
born of the house of his servant David.
Through his holy prophets he promised of old
that he would save us from our enemies,
from the hands of all that hate us.
He promised to show mercy to our fathers,
and to remember his holy covenant.
This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham:
to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
free to worship him without fear;
holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.
You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,
to give his people knowledge of salvation
by the forgiveness of all their sins.
In the tender compassion of our God
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
to shine on those who dwell in darkness
and the shadow of death,
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and shall be for ever. Amen.
