Jesus went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples. And Judas also which betrayed him knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples. . Thou that sufferedst for us, Ry. Lord, have mercy upon us. GOD, who hast displayed thy hands, and thy feet, and thy whole body on the Cross for us sinners, and didst wear the crown of thorns set on thy head by the Jews in despite of thy most holy Name; and for us sinners didst suffer on the Cross Five grievous Wounds: Give us, to-day and ever, the use of penitence, self-denial, patience, humility, and chastity; together with light, sense, and understanding, and a conscience pure before thee even to the end; through thee, Jesu Christ, Saviour of the world, who with the Father and the Holy Ghost livest and reignest, One God, world without end. Amen. LORD, my God and Father, blessed be thy Name for ever. Dispose my heart, open my lips, and guide me by thy Holy Spirit to a true acknowledg ment of all my sins, that my prayer may be heard by thee, in the Name of thy Son Jesus Christ. OUR FATHER. Matins. O Lord, open thou our lips: And our mouth shall show forth thy praise. O God, make speed to save us : O Lord, make haste to help us.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest: Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 0 PSALM XCV. COME, let us sing unto the Lord, let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation: let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and show ourselves glad in him with psalms. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods: in his hand are all the corners of the earth, and the strength of the hills is his also. And I will give you rest. The sea is his, and he made it, and his hands prepared the dry land: O come, let us worship, and fall down, and kneel before the Lord our Maker, for he is the Lord our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works. And I will give you rest. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their hearts, for they have not known my ways: unto whom I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Glory be. As it was. And I will give you rest. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. HYMN. Consors paterni luminis. Fellow of thy Father's light, Aid our feeble lips to pray. |
