← Prayer Book
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,
forever and ever. Amen.

in the courts of the house of the Lord, in your midst, O Jerusalem.

New Testament Canticle
New Testament Canticle (Revelation 11:17–18; 12:10–12)
We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, who is and who was; for you have taken up your great power and you have reigned.
And the nations were angry, and your wrath has come, and the time for the dead to be judged, and to give the reward to your servants the prophets.
And to the saints and to those who fear your name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who corrupted the earth.
Now has arrived the salvation and the virtue and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ.
For the accuser of our brothers has been cast down, he who accused them before our God day and night.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.
And they loved not their lives, even in the face of death.
Because of this, rejoice, O heavens, and all who dwell in them.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Gospel Canticle: Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55)
The Canticle of Mary (Magnificat) (Luke 1:46–55)
Ant. The Lord is risen indeed, and he appeared to Simon. Alleluia.
My soul magnifies the Lord.
And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
Because he has regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold, from henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
Because he who is powerful has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
And his mercy is from generation to generation for those who fear him.
He has shown might with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
He has deposed the powerful from their seat, and he has exalted the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has received Israel, his servant, being mindful of his mercy.
As he spoke to our fathers: to Abraham and to his offspring forever.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
