The Sunday after
Christmas-Day.
Psalm
8. Domine, Dominus noster.
O LORD
our Governor, how excellent is thy Name in all the world; * thou that hast set
thy glory above the heavens!
2
Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou
ordained strength, because of thine enemies, * that thou mightest still the enemy and the
avenger.
3 When I consider thy heavens, even the work
of thy fingers; * the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? *
and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 Thou madest him lower than the angels, * to
crown him with glory and worship.
6 Thou makest him to have dominion of the
works of thy hands; * and thou hast put all things in subjection un- der his
feet:
7 All sheep and oxen; * yea, and the beasts of
the field;
8 The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the
sea; * and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord our Governor, * how excellent is thy
Name in all the world!
Glory be to the Father, &c.
As it was in the beginning, &c.
The Collect.
ALMIGHTY God, who
hast given us thy only-begotten Son to take our nature upon him, and as at this
time to be born of a pure Virgin; Grant that we being regenerate, and made thy
children by adoption and grace, may daily be renewed by thy Holy Spirit;
through the same our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee and
the same Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
