Teach me Thy way, O Lord and lead me in the right way, because of mine enemies. Deliver me not over into the will of mine adversaries for there are false witnesses risen up against me, and such as speak wrong. I should utterly have fainted but that I believe verily to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. O tarry thou the Lord's leisure be strong, and He shall comfort thine heart; and put thou thy trust in the Lord. 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. Daily during the week before Easter. PSALM LXX. Deus in adjutorium. HASTE Thee, O God, to deliver me : make haste to help me, O Lord. Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward and put to confusion that wish me evil. Let them for their reward be soon brought to shame that cry over me, There, there. But let all those that seek Thee be joyful and glad in Thee and let all such as delight in Thy salvation say alway, The Lord be praised. As for me, I am poor and in misery Thee unto me, O God. haste Thou art my helper, and my redeemer : 0 Lord, make no long tarrying. 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. The Lesson.

THERE is a stream, which issues forth And from the Lamb, a living stream The stream doth water Paradise; Such joys as are unspeakable, Such hidden manna, hidden pearls, Eye hath not seen, nor ear hath heard, What Thou, Lord, hast laid up for Thine, I see Thy face, I hear Thy voice, Then should I flee far hence away, Leaving this world of sin! Then should my Lord put forth His hand, Then should my soul with angels feast Or this.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth: and gross darkness the people; But the Lord shall arise upon thee and His glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light : and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Thy gates shall be open continually shall not be shut day nor night; they And they shall call thee, The city of the Lord : The Sion of the Holy One of Israel. Violence shall no more be heard in thy land: wasting nor destruction within thy borders; But thou shalt call thy walls Salvation: and thy gates Praise.

He that hath used no deceit in his tongue, nor done evil to his neighbour and hath not slandered his neighbour. He that setteth not by himself, but is lowly in his own eyes and maketh much of them that fear the Lord. He that sweareth unto his neighbour, and disappointeth him not though it were to his own hindrance. He that hath not given his money upon usury: nor taken reward against the innocent.
