SELECTIONS FOR CHANTING.

1.

THE LORD'S PRAYER.

OUR FATHER Who art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name;

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us;

And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil;

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
For ever and ever. Amen.

THE APOSTLES' CREED.

I BELIEVE in GOD the FATHER Almighty,

Maker of heaven and earth:

And in JESUS CHRIST his only Son our Lord;

Who was conceived by the HOLY GHOST, born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate,

Was crucified, dead, and buried;

He descended into hell; [i. e. continued under the power of death]

The third day he rose from the dead;

He ascended into heaven,

And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

From thence he shall come

To judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the HOLY GHOST;

The holy catholic Church,

The communion of saints;

The forgiveness of sins;

The resurrection of the body,

And the life everlasting. Amen.

GLORIA PATRI.

1 BLESSED is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord;

And in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, That bringeth forth his fruit in his season;

4 His leaf also shall not wither;

And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

5 The ungodly are not so:

But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 6 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous:

7 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God;

For unto thee will I pray.

3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord;

In the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look

4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness,

Neither shall evil dwell with thee.

5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight; Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak falsehood:

The Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

up.

7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy; And in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

8 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness, because of mine enemies;

Make thy way straight before my face.

9 Let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them.

Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.

10 For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous;

6.

With favor wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

PSALM VIII.

1 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! Who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

7.

2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of

thine enemies,

That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars which thou hast ordained;

4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him?

And the son of man that thou visitest him?

5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, And hast crowned him with glory and honor.

6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:

7 All sheep and oxen,

Yea, and the beasts of the field;

8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea,

And whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord our Lord,

How excellent is thy name in all the earth!

PSALM XIX.

1 THE heavens declare the glory of God;

And the firmament showeth his handiwork.

2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

3 Their line is gone out through all the earth,

And their words to the end of the world.

4 In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong

man to run a race.

5 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

6 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul:

The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

7 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart:

The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

8 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever:

The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 9 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: Sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.

10 Moreover by them is thy servant warned:

And in keeping of them there is great reward.

11 Who can understand his errors?

Cleanse thou me from secret faults.
