God, come to my assistance.

- Lord, make haste to help me.

 

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:

as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Alleluia.

 

Penitential Rite

Brief moment of silence

I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,

 

All strike their breast

through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints,

and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

 

Presiding minister

May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life.

- Amen.

 

Hymn

All praise to you, O God, this night

For all the blessings of the light;

Keep us, we pray, O King of kings,

Beneath your own almighty wings.

Forgive us, Lord, through Christ your Son,

Whatever wrong this day we’ve done;

Your peace give to the world, O Lord,

That man might live in one accord.

Enlighten us, O blessed Light,

And give us rest throughout this night.

O strengthen us, that for your sake,

We all may serve you when we wake.

Lord my Gód, I call for hélp by dáy; ✶

Your ánger weighs dówn upón me: ✶

my éyes are súnken with gríef.

I cáll to you, Lórd, all the day lóng; ✶

to yóu I strétch out my hánds. ✶

Will you wórk your wónders for the déad?

Will the shádes stánd and práise you?

 

Will your lóve be tóld in the gráve ✶

or your fáithfulness amóng the déad? ✶

Will your wónders be knówn in the dárk or your jústice in the lánd of oblívion?

 

As for mé, Lord, I cáll to you for hélp: ✶

in the mórning my práyer comes befóre you.

Lórd, whý do you rejéct me? ✶

Whý do you híde your fáce?

 

Wrétched, close to déath from my yóuth, ✶

I have bórne your tríals; I am númb. ✶

Your fúry has swépt down upón me;

your térrors have útterly destróyed me.

 

They surróund me all the daý like a flóod, ✶

they assáil me áll togéther. ✶

Friend and néighbor you have táken awáy:

my óne compánion is dárkness.

Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
