et benedixit Deum in aeternum.

Tantum ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui:
Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui:
Præstet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.
Down in adoration falling,
Lo! the sacred Host we hail,
Lo! o'er ancient forms departing
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail.

Laus et jubilatio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio:
Procedenti ab utroque
Compar sit laudatio.
Amen.
To the Everlasting Father,
And the Son Who reigns on high
With the Holy Ghost proceeding
Forth from Each eternally,
Be salvation, honour, blessing,
Might, and endless majesty.
Amen.

Jehova, quam multi sunt hostes mei!
Quam multi insurgunt contra me.
Quam multi dicunt de anima mea;
“non est ulla salus isti in Deo plane”.
At tu, Jehova, clypeus es circa me;
gloria mea, et extollens caput meum.
Voce mea ad Jehovam clamanti,
respondit mihi e monte sanctitatis suae
maxime. Ego cubui et dormivi,
ego expergefeci me; quia Jehova
sustentat me.
Non timebo a myriadibus populi,
quas circumdisposuerint metatores
contra me.
Surge, Jehova, fac salvum me Deus mi;
qui percussisti omnes inimicos meos
maxilliam,
dentes improborum confregisti.
Jehova est salus: super populum tuum
sit benedictio tua maxime.
Evensong
O Lord, how many are my foes!
Many are rising against me;
many are saying to me,
"There is no help for you in God."
But you, O Lord, are a shield around me,
my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
I cry aloud to the Lord,
and he answers me from his holy hill.
I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, for the Lord sustains me.
I am not afraid of ten thousands of people
who have set themselves against me all
around.
Rise up, O Lord! Deliver me, O my God!
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you break the teeth of the wicked.
Deliverance belongs to the Lord;
may your blessing be on your people.
Text: Psalm 3
Sunday 15 February
Verbe, égal au Très-Haut,
notre unique espérance,
Jour éternel de la terre et des cieux;
De la paisible nuit nous rompons le
silence,
Divin Sauveur, jette sur nous les yeux!
Répands sur nous le feu de ta grâce
puissante,
Que tout l'enfer fuie au son de ta voix;
Dissipe le sommeil d'une âme
languissante,
Qui la conduit à l'oubli de tes lois!
Music: Henry Purcell
Evensong
Word, equal to the Almighty,
our only hope,
Eternal light of the earth and the Heavens;
We break the peaceful night's silence,
Divine Saviour, cast your eyes upon us!
Spread the fire of your mighty grace upon us
May the entire hell flee at the sound of your
voice;
Disperse from any slothful soul the drowsiness
Which induces it to forget your laws!
20
O Christ, sois favorable à ce peuple
fidèle
Pour te bénir maintenant rassemblé.
Reçois les chants qu'il offre à ta gloire
immortelle,
Et de tes dons qu'il retourne comblé!
O Christ, look with favour upon this faithful
people
Which has now gathered to bless you.
Receive its singing, offered to your immortal
glory,
And may it leave with the gifts you have
bestowed upon it!
Words: Jean Racine
Sunday 22 February
O Mensch, bewein’ dein’ Sünde groß,
darum Christus sein’s Vaters Schoß
äußert und kam auf Erden.
Von einer Jungfrau zart und rein
für uns er hier geboren ward,
er wollt’ der Mittler werden.
Den Todten er das Leben gab,
und legt’ dabei all Krankheit ab,
bis sich die Zeit herdrange
daß er für uns geopfert würd’
trug’ unsrer Sünden schwere Bürd’
wohl an dem Kreuze lange.
Music: Gabriel Fauré
Evensong
O man, thy grievous sin bemoan,
For which Christ left His Father's throne,
From highest heaven descending.
Of Virgin pure and undefiled
He here was born, our Saviour mild,
For sin to make atonement.
The dead He raised to life again.
The sick He freed from grief and pain.
Until the time appointed
That He for us should give His Blood,
Should bear our sins' o'erwhelming load,
The shameful Cross enduring.

Eilt, eilt ihr angefochtnen Seelen,

Eure Wohlfahrt blüht allda!
Evensong
Hurry, you tempted souls,

Te lucis ante terminum,

sis praesul ad custodiam.
Procul recedant somnia,
et noctium phantasmata:
hostemque nostrum comprime,

To thee before the close of day,
Creator of the world, we pray
That, with thy wonted favour, thou
Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.
From all ill dreams defend our sight,
From fears and terrors of the night;
Withhold from us our ghostly foe,
That spot of sin we may not know.
O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son,
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.

Wednesday 11 March
Mein teurer Heiland, lass dich fragen,
Da du nunmehr ans Kreuz geschlagen
Und selbst gesagt: Es ist vollbracht,
Bin ich vom Sterben frei gemacht?
Kann ich durch deine Pein und Sterben
Das Himmelreich ererben?
Ist aller Welt Erlösung da?
Du kannst vor Schmerzen zwar nichts
sagen;
Doch neigest du das Haupt
Und sprichst stillschweigend: ja.
Music: John Blow (1649-1708)
Evensong
My precious Saviour, let me ask you,
now that you're nailed to the cross
and even said yourself, «it is accompished!»,
am I free from death?
Can I through your death and suffering
inherit the kingdom of Heaven?
Is the whole world redeemed?
In so much pain, you cannot speak,
yet you nod your head
and silently announce: yes!
23
Jesu, der du warest tot
Lebest nun ohn' Ende,
In der letzten Todesnot
Nirgend mich hinwende
Als zu dir, der mich versühnt,
O mein trauter Herre!
Gib mir nur, was du verdient,
Mehr ich nicht begehre !
O Jesus, who were dead
and now live eternally,
may I, in the last throes of death
turn nowhere else than towards you
who redeemed me,
my beloved Lord!
Just give me what you have earned,
for I desire nothing more.
Words: from St John Passion

Compline
The Latin phrase of the title is taken from the Rule of St Benedict, in his quotation of
Ezekiel 33:11 – As I live, saith the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that
the wicked turn from his way, and live.
Nolo mortem peccatoris:
Haec sunt verba Salvatoris.
Father, I am thine only son,
Sent down from heaven mankind to save!
Father, all things fulfilled and done
According to thy will I have;
Father, now all my will is this:
Nolo mortem peccatoris.
Father, behold my pains most smart,
Taken for man on every side,
E'en from my birth to death most tart;
No kind of pain I have denied,
But suffered all and all for this:
Nolo mortem peccatoris.
