¶ Sic dicitur Allelúja ad omnes Horas, per totum annum, præterquam a Completorio Sabbati ante Septuagesimam usque ad Completorium Feriæ IV Majoris Hebdomadæ inclusive; tunc enim dicitur:

Ant. Tu, Dómine.

SALVUM me fac, Dómine, quóniam defécit sanctus: quóniam diminútæ sunt veritátes a fíliis hóminum.

USQUEQUO, Dómine, obliviscéris me in finem? Usquequo avértis fáciem tuam a me?

CONSÉRVA me, Dómine, quóniam sperávi in te. Dixi Dómino: Deus meus es tu, quóniam bonórum meórum non eges.

Ant. Tu, Dómine, servábis nos: et custódies nos in ætérnum.

TE lucis ante términum,

Procul recédant sómnia,

V. Pray, Lord, a blessing.

Our Father, the whole of which is said silently.

¶ Alleluia is thus said at all the Hours, except from Compline of the Saturday before Septuagesima Sunday until Compline of Wednesday in Holy Week inclusive; for then there is said:

Ant. Thou, O Lord.

SAVE me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.

HOW long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?

PRESERVE me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee. I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.

Ant. Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us and keep us forever.

BEFORE the ending of the day,

From all ill dreams defend our eyes,

O Father, that we ask be done,

Amen.

I BELIEVE in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in JESUS CHRIST, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried: he descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins.

VISIT, we beseech thee, O Lord, this house, and drive far from it all snares of the enemy: let thy holy Angels dwell herein, who may keep us in peace; and let thy blessing be always upon us. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit.

HAIL, holy Queen, mother of mercy! Hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope! To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn, then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us. And after this our exile show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God. R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

ALMIGHTY, everlasting God, who, by the co-operation of the Holy Ghost, didst so make ready the body andsoul of the glorious Virgin Mother, Mary, that she deserved to become a meet dwelling for thy Son: grant that we, who rejoice in her memory, may by her loving intercession be delivered from the evils that hang over us, and from everlasting death. Through the same Christ our Lord.

R. Amen.

V. May the divine assistance remain always with us. R. Amen.

OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.

HAIL, Mary, full of grace; the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
