The Litany and Suffrages
O Lord, arise, help us, and deliver us for your Name's sake.1
O God, we have heard with our ears, and our fathers have declared unto us, the noble works that you did in their days, and in the old time before them.2
O Lord, arise, help us, and deliver us for your honour.3
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;4
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
From our enemies defend us, O Christ.5
Graciously look upon our afflictions.
Pitifully behold the sorrows of our hearts.6
Mercifully forgive the sins of your people.
Favourably with mercy hear our prayers.7
O Son of David, have mercy upon us.
Both now and ever vouchsafe to hear us, O Christ.8
Graciously hear us, O Christ; graciously hear us, O Lord Christ.
O Lord, let your mercy be shown upon us;9
As we do put our trust in you.
