Gradual
Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord; and let

he shall not fear the evil hearing.
Offertory
O Lord Jesus Christ, King of Glory, deliver
the souls of all the faithful departed from the pains of hell and
from the deep pit: deliver them from the lion's mouth, that hell
may not swallow them up, and may they not fall into darkness; but
may the holy standard-bearer, Michael, lead them into the holy light:
which Thou didst promise to Abraham and to his seed.
Sacrifices and prayers we offer to Thee, O
Lord; receive them for those souls for whom we make memorial this
day; let them, O Lord, pass from death unto life. Which Thou didst
promise to Abraham . . .

The Day of Judgement translated from the
Gaelic by Dugald Buchanan
Responsory
Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death in
that awful day: When the heavens and the earth shall be moved: When
Thou shalt come to judge the world by fire. Dread and trembling
have laid hold of me, and I fear exceedingly because of the judgement
and the wrath, of sore distress, and of all wretchedness, that great
and exceeding bitter day. When Thou shalt come to judge the world
by fire. Eternal rest grant upon them, O Lord, and let perpetual
light shine upon them. Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death in
that awful day: When the heavens and the earth shall be moved: When
Thou shalt come to judge the world by fire.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
MAGNIFICAT on the fifth tone in eight parts
Hieronymus Praetorius [1622]
My soul soth magnify the Lord,
and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For he hath regarded the lowliness of his
handmaiden.
For, behold, from henceforth all generations
shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath done to me great
things;
and holy is his name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him
from generation to generation.
He hath shewed strength with his arm, he hath
scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their
seats, and exalted them of low degree.
He hath filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance
of his mercy.
As
he spake to our fathers, to Abraham and his
seed for ever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost
As it was in the beginning is now and every shall be, world without
end.
Amen.
