The Ascension-Day.
Psalm
8
Domine, Dominus noster
O LORD our Governor, how excellent is thy Name in all the world : thou
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. For I will consider thy heavens, even the works 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 under 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!
The Collect.
GRANT, we beseech thee,
Almighty God, that like as we do believe thy only-begotten Son our Lord Jesus
Christ to have ascended into the heavens; so we may also in heart and mind
thither ascend, and with him continually dwell, who liveth and reigneth with thee
and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
