== The Second Day of the Week. == ''All as on Sunday, except as otherwise given here.'' ''The Psalms are as follows :'' ''Antiphon.'' Have mercy. ''If this Antiphon be used, the Psalm begins with the words,'' " Upon me, O God." '''Psalm L.''' [This Psalm has a musical (?) superscription, and the title then proceeds, "A Psalm of David, when Nathan the Prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba." The whole history is in 2 Kings (Sam.) xi. xii. (Saturday, 5th week after Pentecost, and 6th Sunday.)] <span class="dropcap">H</span>AVE mercy upon me, O God, * after Thy great mercy : And according to the multitude of Thy tender mercies * blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity : * and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgression : * and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done evil in Thy sight : * that Thou mightest be justified when Thou speakest, and be clear when Thou art judged. For behold, I was shapen in iniquity : * and in sin did my mother conceive me. For behold Thou desirest truth : * the hidden secrets of Thy wisdom Thou hast made manifest unto me. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be clean : * wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness : * that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice. Hide Thy face from my sins : * and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God : * and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence : * and take not Thine holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation : * and uphold me with Thy free Spirit. Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways : * and sinners shall be converted unto Thee. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation : * and my tongue shall sing aloud <ref>So the Hebrew, the LXX. , and all the versions, including Doway, but the Latin text has the curious mistake of extiltabit for exaltabit.</ref> of Thy righteousness. O Lord, open Thou my lips, * and my mouth shall show forth Thy praise. For Thou desirest not sacrifice, else would I give it : * Thou delightest not in burnt-offering. The sacrifice of God is a broken spirit : * a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise. Do good in Thy good pleasure unto Zion : * to build the walls of Jerusalem. Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt-offering and whole burnt-offering : * then shall they offer bullocks upon Thine altar. ''Antiphon.'' Have mercy upon me, O God. ''Second Antiphon.'' Consider. '''Psalm V.''' [Intituled "A Psalm of David," with a musical (?) superscription.] <span class="dropcap">G</span>IVE ear unto my words, O Lord, * consider my supplication. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, * my King and my God ! For unto Thee will I pray. * O Lord, in the morning Thou shalt hear my voice : In the morning will I stand before Thee and look up. * For Thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness : Neither shall the evil dwell with Thee, * nor the unrighteous stand in Thy sight : Thou hatest all workers of iniquity. * Thou shalt destroy all them that speak leasing : The Lord abhorreth the bloody and deceitful man. * But as for me, in the multitude of Thy mercy I will come into Thine house : * I will worship toward Thine holy temple in Thy fear. Lead me, O Lord, in Thy righteousness, * because of mine enemies ; make my way straight before Thy face. For there is no faithfulness in their mouth : * their inward part is very wickedness. Their throat is an open sepulchre ; they flatter with their tongue. * Judge Thou them, O God! Let them fall by their own counsels ; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, * for they have rebelled against Thee, O Lord ! And let all those that put their trust in Thee, rejoice : * let them ever shout for joy, because Thou dwellest in them : Let them also that love Thy Name be joyful in Thee. * For Thou wilt bless the righteous. O Lord, Thou hast compassed us * with Thy favour as with a shield. ''Antiphon.'' Consider my supplication, O Lord. ''Third Antiphon.'' O God, Thou art my God. ''If this Antiphon is used, the Psalm begins with the words,'' "Early will I seek Thee." '''Psalms LXIL, LXVI.''' O God, Thou art my God, &c. (''p. 23''). ''Antiphon.'' O God, Thou art my God, early will I seek Thee. ''Fourth Antiphon.'' Thine anger is turned away. '''The Song of Isaiah the Prophet.''' [Isa. xii. 1. The description of the restoration of Israel in Isa. xi. (Second Sunday in Advent) is continued to the end of that Chapter, and this Song is then introduced by the words, "And in that day thou shalt say :— "] <span class="dropcap">O</span> LORD, I will praise Thee, though Thou wast angry with me, * Thine anger is turned away, and Thou comfortest me. Behold, God is my salvation : * I will trust and not be afraid : For the Lord is my strength and my song : * He also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of the Saviour : * and in that day shall ye say Praise the Lord and call upon His Name ! Declare His doings among the people, * tell them that His Name is exalted. Sing unto the Lord, for He hath done glorious things : * make ye this known in all the earth. Cry aloud and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion : * for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee! ''Antiphon.'' Thine anger is turned away, and Thou comfortest me. ''Fifth Antiphon.'' Praise ye. ''If this Antiphon be used, the Psalm begins with the words'' "the LORD from the heavens." '''Psalms CXLVIII., CXLIX., CL.''' Praise ye the Lord from the heavens, &c. (''pp. 25, 26''). ''Antiphon.'' Praise ye the Lord from the heavens. ''From Advent Sunday till the Octave of the Epiphany and from the First Sunday in Lent till the Octave of Pentecost special Chapters are given. At other times the following is said on all week-days observed as such.'' ''Chapter.'' (Rom. xiii. 12.) <span class="dropcap">T</span>HE night is far spent, the day is at hand : let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light : let us walk honestly as in the day. '''Hymn.''' <ref>Another hymn of the Ambrosian school, slightly altered. Translation by the late Card. Newman.</ref> OF the Father Effluence bright, <br/> Out of Light evolving light, <br/> Light from Light, unfailing Ray, <br/> Day creative of the day.<br/> Truest Sun, upon us stream With <br/> Thy calm perpetual beam, <br/> In the Spirit's still sunshine <br/> Making sense and thought divine.<br/> Seek we too the Father's face, <br/> Father of almighty grace, <br/> And of majesty excelling, <br/> Who can purge our tainted dwelling ; <br/> Who can aid us, who can break <br/> Teeth of envious foes, and make <br/> Hours of loss and pain succeed, <br/> Guiding safe each duteous deed.<br/> And, infusing self-control, <br/> Fragrant chastity of soul, <br/> Faith's keen flame to soar on high, <br/> Incorrupt simplicity.<br/> Christ Himself for food be given, <br/> Faith become the cup of heaven, <br/> Out of which the joy is quaff'd <br/> Of the Spirit's sobering draught.<br/> With that joy replenishèd <br/> Morn shall glow with modest red, <br/> Noon with beaming face be bright, <br/> Eve be soft without twilight.<br/> It has dawned :— upon our way, <br/> Father, in Thy Word, this day, <br/> In Thy Father, Word Divine, <br/> From Thy cloudy pillar shine.<br/> To the Father and the Son, <br/> And the Spirit, Three and One, <br/> As of old, and as in heaven, <br/> Now and here be glory given. Amen.<br/> ''Verse.'' <ref>Ps. lxxxix. 14.</ref> Thou hast satisfied us early with Thy mercy. ''Answer.'' We rejoice and are glad. ''Antiphon for the Song of Zacharias.'' Blessed * be the Lord God of Israel. ''After the repetition of the Antiphon after the Song of Zacharias, on the week-days of Advent and Lent, the Ember Days, and all Vigils which are fasts except Christmas Eve and the Eve and Ember Days of Pentecost, all kneel down, and the following prayers called the Preces are said: '' Kyrie eleison. ''Answer.'' Christe eleison. Kyrie eleison. ''Then the Lord's Prayer is said aloud.'' <span class="dropcap">O</span>UR Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come.

'''Psalm CXXIX.''' [Intituled "A Song of Degrees." The meaning of this title is not certain. The Psalms so called may perhaps, like the " Graduals " of the Roman Liturgy, be "step-songs," intended to be sung during processions, Liturgical or of pilgrims.] <span class="dropcap">O</span>UT of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O Lord ! * Lord, hear my voice. Let Thine ears be attentive * to the voice of my supplication. If Thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand ? But there is forgiveness with Thee : * because of Thy law, I wait for Thee, O Lord ! My soul waiteth on His word : * my soul hopeth in the Lord. From the morning watch even until night * let Israel hope in the Lord : For with the Lord there is mercy, * and with Him is plenteous redemption. And He shall redeem Israel, * from all his iniquities. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
