he gotten
himself the victory.

The Lord declared his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly
shewed in the sight of the heathen.

He hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel:
and all the ends of the world have seen the salvation of our God.

Shew yourselves joyful unto the Lord, all ye lands: sing, rejoice,
and give thanks.

Praise the Lord upon the harp: sing to the harp with a psalm of
thanksgiving.

With trumpets also and shawms: O shew yourselves joyful before
the Lord the King.

Let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is: the round
world, and they that dwell therein.

Let the floods clap their hands, and let the hills be joyful
together before the Lord: for he cometh to judge the earth.

With righteousness shall he judge the world: and the people with
equity.

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.

NUNC DIMITTIS.

St Luke ii. 29.

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.

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.

_Or else this Psalm: Except it be on the twelfth day of the month_.

DEUS MISEREATUR.

Psalm lxvii.

God be merciful unto us, and bless us: and shew us the light of
his countenance, and be merciful unto us:

That thy way may be known upon earth; thy saving health among all
nations.

Let the people praise thee, O God: yea, let all the people praise
thee.

O let the nations rejoice and be glad: for thou shalt judge the
folk righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.

Let the people praise thee, O God: yea, let all the people praise
thee.

Then shall the earth bring forth her increase: and God, even our
own God, shall give us his blessing.

God shall bless us: and all the ends of the world shall fear him.

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.
