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. Amen.
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and in the hour of our death. Amen.
Psalm 126In convertendo Dominus captivitatem
When the Lord turned again the captivity of Sion * then were we like unto them that dream.
2Then was our mouth filled with laughter * and our tongue with joy.
3Then said they among the heathen * The Lord hath done great things for them.
4Yea, the Lord hath done great things for us already * whereof we rejoice.
5Turn our captivity, O Lord * as the rivers in the south.
6They that sow in tears * shall reap in joy.
7He that now goeth on his way weeping, and beareth forth good seed * shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.
Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord.And let light perpetual shine upon them.
Psalm 127Nisi Dominus ædificaverit domum
Except the Lord build the house * their labour is but lost that build it.
2Except the Lord keep the city * the watchman waketh but in vain.
3It is but lost labour that ye haste to rise up early, and so late take rest, and eat the bread of carefulness * for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
4Lo, children and the fruit of the womb * are an heritage and gift that cometh of the Lord.
5Like as the arrows in the hand of the giant * even so are the young children.
6Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them * they shall not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord.And let light perpetual shine upon them.
Psalm 128Beati, omnes, qui timent Dominum
Blessed are all they that fear the Lord * and walk in his ways.
2For thou shalt eat the labours of thine hands * O well is thee, and happy shalt thou be.
3Thy wife shall be as the fruitful vine * upon the walls of thine house.
4Thy children like the olive-branches * round about thy table.
5Lo, thus shall the man be blessed * that feareth the Lord.
6The Lord from out of Sion shall so bless thee * that thou shalt see Jerusalem in prosperity all thy life long.
7Yea, that thou shalt see thy children’s children * and peace upon Israel.
Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord.And let light perpetual shine upon them.
