The
First Sunday of Advent.
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 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!
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.
The
Collect.
[This Collect is to be repeated
every day, with the other Collects in Advent, until Christmas-Eve.]
ALMIGHTY
God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness,
and put upon us the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life in
which thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last
day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the quick
and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who liveth and
reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
