Who wouldest have mercy and not sacrifice; Who, when we repent, rememberest our sins no more; God, most merciful and patient, notwithstanding all our sins; We sinners beseech Thee to hear us, That Thou wouldest give us true repentance; That we may bring forth fruits meet for re- That denying ungodly lusts we may live soberly, righteously, and purely; That sin may not reign in our mortal bodies; That we love not the world, neither the things of the world; That we work out our own salvation with fear and trembling; Son of God. We beseech Thee to hear us. Have mercy upon us. Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world; Spare us, O Lord. Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world; Hear us, O Lord. Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world; Have mercy upon us. O Christ, hear us. Christ, graciously hear us. Let us pray. ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that Thou hast made, and dost forgive the sins of all them that are penitent; Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we worthily lamenting our sins, and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of Thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 14. Litany of the Saints. (For Saints' Days.) REMEMBER not, Lord, our offences, nor the offences of our forefathers; neither take Thou vengeance of our sins: spare us, good Lord, spare Thy people, whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy most precious blood, and be not angry with us for ever. Spare us, good Lord. Lord, have mercy upon us. O Christ, hear us. Christ, graciously hear us. O God the Father of heaven; O God the Son, Redeemer of the world; O God the Holy Ghost, Perfector of the elect; O God, Who hast knit together Thine elect in O God, Who hast ordained and constituted O God, Who hearest the prayers of all, and to O God Who art worshipped in heaven and O God Who hast carried one portion of Thy Church into the land flowing with milk and honey, and hast left the other portion still in the wilderness ; O God, Who art not the God of the dead but of the living; GRANT Have mercy upon us. RANT that the prayers of Thy whole Church, whether of these in the flesh, or of those out of the flesh, whether in banishment here, or at home with Thee, may obtain for us those good things which we are not worthy to ask. And save us. May all the holy angels and archangels; May all the holy Martyrs'; May all the holy Bishops and Doctors; Be merciful, O Lord; And spare us. Be merciful, O Lord; And hear us. From all evil and sin; From Thy wrath; From sudden death; From the snares of the devil; From the spirit of fornication; From lightning and tempest; From everlasting death; By the mystery of Thy holy Incarnation; By Thy Baptism and Fasting; Good Lord, deliver us. Pray for us, Good Lord, deliver us. By Thy Cross and Passion; By Thy Resurrection and Ascension; We sinners beseech Thee to hear us; That Thou wouldest pardon us; That Thou wouldest bring us to true repent ance; That it may please Thee to govern and pre- That it may please Thee to preserve our That it may please Thee to humble the ene- That it may please Thee to give unity peace and concord to Christian kings and princes; That it may please Thee to strengthen and confirm the faithful; That it may please Thee to lift up our minds to holy desires; That it may please Thee to reward our benefactors; That it may please Thee to convert our enemies; That it may please Thee to give eternal rest to the faithful departed; Son of God; We beseech Thee to hear us. |
