them that fear Him:

From generation to gener- | ation.

He hath showed strength | with His arm:

He hath scattered the proud in the imagi- | nation of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty | from their seats:

And exalted them of | low de- | gree.

He hath filled the hungry with good things:

And the rich He hath sent | empty a- way.

He hath holpen His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy:

As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his | seed, for ever.

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. A- men.

Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant de- | part in peace:
According to Thy | word;

For mine eyes have seen | Thy sal- | vation:

Which Thou hast prepared before the face of all peo- | ple;

A light to lighten the Gentiles:

And the glory of Thy peo-ple | Isra- | el.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son:

And to the Holy Ghost;

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. Then may be sung or said:

V. The Lord will give strength unto His people.

O God, from Whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed: Give unto Thy servants that peace which the world cannot give; that our hearts may be set to obey Thy commandments, and also that by Thee, we, being defended from the fear of our enemies, may pass our time in rest and quietness; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee, and the Holy Ghost, ever One God, world without end.

The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of God, and the Communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all.
