Responsory: All Those Who Trust in Christ (Jerusalem) H. Parry, 1916
All those who trust in Christ are blest And find in Him eternal rest;
This world's allurements we despise And fix on Christ alone our eyes.
Through Him we heirs of heav'n are made; O Brother, Christ, extend Thine aid
That we may firmly trust in Thee, And through Thee live eternally.
O Christ, our Savior, Helper Friend, Be with us till our journey's end.
In mercy guide us by Thy grace Till we behold Thy glorious face.
Though Satan rage, His pow'r is gone His thundering roar can harm us none
Our strong Defender hurls him down, And wins for us a heav'nly crown.

- Canticle: Te Deum in B-flat C.V. Stanford, 1879
We praise thee, O God, we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship Thee, the Father everlasting.
To Thee all Angels cry aloud, the heavens and all the powers therein.
To Thee Cherubim and Seraphim continually do cry,
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full of the majesty of Thy glory.
The glorious company of the apostles praise Thee.
The noble army of martyrs praise Thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world doth acknowledge Thee;
The Father of an infinite majesty;
Thine honourable, true and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost the Comforter.
Thou art the King of glory, O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father.
When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man,
Thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death,
Thou didst open the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come to be our judge.
We therefore pray Thee, help Thy servants
Whom thou hast redeemed with Thy precious blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy saints in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people and bless Thine heritage.
Govern them and lift them up for ever.
Day by day we magnify Thee;
And we worship Thy name ever world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin.
O Lord, let thy mercy be upon us, for our trust is in Thee.
O Lord, in Thee have I trusted let me never be confounded. - Kyrie and Lord's Prayer
