Hail Mary, full of grace: * Our Lord is with thee.

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving : and show ourselves glad in him with psalms.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving : and show ourselves glad in him with psalms.
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.
In his hand are all the corners of the earth : and the strength of the hills is his also.
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.
For he is the Lord our God; * and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
O worship the LORD in
the beauty of holiness; * let the whole earth stand in awe of him.
For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth; * and with righteousness to judge the world, and the people with his truth.
For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth; * and with righteousness to judge the world, and the people with his truth.
Then May be sung or said this hymn.
It is truly meet to
bless you, O Theotokos, ever-blessed and most pure, and the Mother of our God.
More honorable than the Cherubim, and more glorious beyond compare than the
Seraphim, without defilement you gave birth to God the Word. True Theotokos we
magnify you!
Psalm
8. Domine, Dominus noster.
Ant: Blessed
art thou among women, * and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
O LORD our Governor, how
excellent is thy Name in all the world; * thou that hast set thy glory above
the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies, * that thou ightiest still the enemy and the avenger.
2 Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies, * that thou ightiest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider thy heavens, even 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 Thou madest him lower than the angels, * to crown him with glory and worship.
6 Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of thy hands; * and thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen; * yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea; * and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD our Governor, * how excellent is thy Name in all the world!

7 All sheep and oxen; * yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea; * and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD our Governor, * how excellent is thy Name in all the world!

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.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.
Psalm
19. Caeli enarrant.
THE heavens declare the glory of God; * and the firmament showeth his handy-work.
2 One day telleth another; * and one night certifieth another.
3 There is neither speech nor language; * but their voices are heard among them.
4 Their sound is gone out into all lands; * and their words into the ends of the world.
5 In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun; * which cometh forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a giant to run his course.
6 It goeth forth from the uttermost part of the heaven, and runneth about unto the end of it again; * and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 The law of the LORD is an undefiled law, converting the soul; * the testimony of the LORD is sure, and giveth wisdom unto the simple.
8 The statutes of the LORD are right, and rejoice the heart; * the commandment of the LORD is pure, and giveth light unto the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean, and endureth for ever; * the judgments of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; * sweeter also than honey, and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them is thy servant taught; * and in keeping of them there is great reward.
12 Who can tell how I offendeth? * O cleanse thou me from my secret faults.
13 Keep thy servant also from presumptuous sins, lest they get the dominion over me; * so shall I be undefiled, and innocent from the great offence.
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be I acceptable in thy sight, * O LORD, my strength and my redeemer.
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.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.
Then shall follow the readings and
canticles
Prov. Viii: 22
The
Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was
set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When there
were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding
with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought
forth: while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest
part of the dust of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when
he set a compass upon the face of the depth: when he established the clouds
above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: when he gave to the sea
his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed
the foundations of the earth: then I was by him, as one brought up with him:
and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; rejoicing in the
habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. Now
therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my
ways. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that
heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For
whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.
Then
shall be said one of the canticles appointed for after the first reading at
Matins after which shall be read.

and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed
art thou among women.

And thou, child,
shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: * for thou shalt go before the face
of the Lord to prepare his ways;
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people * for the remission of their sins,
Through the tender mercy of our God; * whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us;
To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, * and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Then shall follow the readings and
canticles
Romans
5:12-21
Therefore as sin
came into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread
to all men because all men sinned— sin indeed was
in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no
law. Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even
over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type
of the one who was to come. But the free gift is not
like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have
the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of that one man Jesus Christ
abounded for many. And the free gift is not like
the effect of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass
brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brings
justification. If, because of one man’s trespass,
death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the
abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the
one man Jesus Christ. Then as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all
men, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to acquittal and life for all
men. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by one
man’s obedience many will be made righteous. Law
came in, to increase the trespass; but where sin increased, grace abounded all
the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also
might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our
Lord.
Then
shall be said the Magnificat with the Antiphon for Feasts of the BVM after which shall be
read.
Luke 11:27-28
As he said this, a
woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that
bore you, and the breasts that you sucked!” But he
said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
Then shall be said
Nunc dimittis. St. Luke ii. 29.
Ant: Rejoice thou queen of heaven, alleluia: because
whom thou didst bear, alleluia: is risen again as he said, alleluia.
LORD, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, * according to thy
word.
For mine eyes have seen * thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared * before the face of all people;
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, * and to be the glory of thy people Israel.

Then the shall be prayed “the Lord be
