VENITE, EXULTEMUS DOMINO.

Psalm xcv.

O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation.

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving: and shew ourselves glad in him with psalms.

For the Lord is a great G.o.d: and a great King above all G.o.ds.

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 wors.h.i.+p, and fall down: and kneel before the Lord our Maker.

For he is the Lord our G.o.d: and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts: as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness;

When your fathers tempted me: proved me, and saw my works.

Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said: It is a people that do err in their hearts, for they have not known my ways.

Unto whom I sware in my wrath: that they should not enter into my rest.

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.

_Then shall follow the Psalms in order as they be appointed. And at the end of every Psalm throughout the year, and likewise in the end of_ Benedicite, Benedictus, Magnificat, _and_ Nunc dimittis, _shall be repeated_,

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;

_Answer_. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.

_Then shall be read distinctly with an audible voice the First Lesson, taken out of the Old Testament as is appointed in the Kalendar: Except there be proper Lessons a.s.signed for that day: He that readeth so standing and turning himself, as he may best be heard of all such as are present. And after that shall be said or sung, in English, the Hymn called_ Te Deum Laudamus, _daily throughout the year_.

_Note that before every Lesson the Minister shall say_, Here beginneth such a Chapter, _or_ Verse of such a Chapter, of such a Book: _And after every Lesson_, Here endeth the First, _or_ the Second Lesson,

TE DEUM LAUDAMUS.

We praise thee, O G.o.d: we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.

All the earth doth wors.h.i.+p thee: the Father everlasting.

To thee all Angels cry aloud: the heavens and all the powers therein.

To thee Cherubin and Seraphin: continually do cry,
