Abstérge sordes méntium:
Resólve culpæ vínculum:

Hymn
O God, whose hand hath spread the sky,
And all its shining hosts on high,
And painting it with fiery light,
Made it so beauteous and so bright:
Thou, when the fourth day was begun,
Didst frame the circle of the sun,
And set the moon for ordered change,
And planets for their wider range:
To night and day, by certain line,
Their varying bounds thou didst assign;
And gav’st a signal, known and meet,
For months begun and months complete.
Enlighten thou the hearts of men:
Polluted souls make pure again:
Unloose the bands of guilt within:
Remove the burden of our sin.
Grant this, O Father, ever One
With Christ thy sole-begotten Son,
Whom, with the Spirit we adore,
One God, both now and evermore.
Amen.
℣ Let my prayer be directed, O Lord.
℟ Like incense in your sight.
