Faithfully to Perform. Amen
O God, hare I hoped ; O Lord, let me never be confounded. Deal not with us, O Lord, according to our sins which we have committed, nor punish us according to our iniquities.
V. Help us, O God our Saviour ; and for the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us, and forgive us our sins for thy name’s sake. Come, ye children, hearken unto me ; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Come unto him, and be enlightened, and your faces shall not be confounded. Alleluia, alleluia. Oh, clap your hands, all ye nations : shout unto God with the voice of joy. Alleluia. V After this , at High Mass , the Deacon places the book of the L Gospels on the Altar , and the Celebrant blesses the incense {as above). Then the Deacon, kneeling before the Altar , with joined hands , sags : Munda cor meum ac la- bia mea, omnipotens Deus, qui labia Isaiae prophetae calculo mundasti ignito: ita me tua grata miseratione dignare mundare, ut sanc- tum Evangeliumtuum digne raleam nuntiare. Per Chris- tum Dominum nostrum. Arnen. Cleanse my heart and my lips, O almighty God, who didst cleanse the lips of the prophet Isaiah with a burning coal : and vouch- safe, through thy gracious mercy, so to purify me, that I may worthily proclaim thy holy Gospel. Through Christ our Lord. Amen
