Service of the Word at Dawn
Presbyter (All sit): AWAKE, thou that sleepest,
and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
HONOUR and glory
through endless ages
to the king of all the ages,
the immortal,
the invisible,
who alone is God.
Amen.
All (kneel): GLORY in the heights to God,
on earth peace,
to men favour.
We Praise you,
bless you,
worship you,
laud you,
we give you thanks
for your great glory,
0 lord, King of heaven,
God the Father all-powerful,
Lord the only Son,
Jesus Christ,
and you, Holy Spirit.
0 Lord God,
God’s Lamb,
the Father’s Son,
you take the world’s sins away:
have mercy on us.
You take the world’s sins away:
accept our prayer.
You sit at the Father’s right hand:
have mercy on us.
For you alone are holy,
you alone are Lord,
0 Jesus Christ,
for God the Father’s glory.
Amen.
- Morning Prayer and Oath
All (stand): I RISE and pledge myself to God
to do no deed at all of dark.
This day shall be his sacrifice
and I, unmoved, my passions’ lord.
I blush to be so old and foul
and yet to stand before his table.
You know what I would do, 0 Christ;
0 then, to do it make me able.
- End Service of the Word and resumption of daily activities until Mass at the end of the day.
