Cibavit eos (Psalm 81)

  He fed them also with the finest wheat flour, alleluia:
  And with honey from the rock hath he satisfied them, alleluia, alleluia.  §

Sing we merrily unto God our helper:
Make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
Glory be ...
As it was ...

(Repeat to §.)

Send, we beseech thee, Almighty God, thy Holy Spirit into our hearts: that he may direct and rule us according to thy will, comfort us in all our afflictions, defend us from all error, and lead us into all truth.  Through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Who with thee and the same Holy Spirit liveth and reigneth one God, world without end.

THE EPISTLE

Acts 10.34 – 48

In those days: Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:  But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.  The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)  That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;  How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.  And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:  Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;  Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.  And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.  To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.  While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.  And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.  For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,  Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?  And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

SEQUENCE

Veni, Sancte Spiritus

Come, thou Holy Spirit, come; and from thy celestial home send thy light and brilliancy.
Come, thou father of the poor, come who givest all our store, come the soul’s true radiancy;
Come, of comforter’s the best, of the soul the sweetest guest, sweetly and refreshingly;
People  Come, in labour rest most sweet, shade and coolness in the heat, comfort in adversity.
Thou who art the Light most blest, come fulfill their inmost breast, who believe most faithfully;
People  For without thy Godhead’s dower, man hath nothing in his power, save to work iniquity;
What is filthy make thou pure, what is wounded work its cure, water what is parched and dry;
Gently bend the stubborn will, warm to life the heart that’s chill,, guide who goeth erringly;
Fill thy faithful who adore, and confess thee evermore, with thy sevenfold mystery;
People  Here thy grace and virtue send, grant salvation in the end, and in heaven felicity.
All:       Amen, Alleluia.
 

THE GOSPEL

St. John 3.16 – 21

At that time: Jesus said unto Nicodemus: God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.  He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.  For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.  But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

The Creed is said.
