Have mercy on us.

O Holy Trinity, three Persons and one God,
Have mercy on us.

O Lord, have mercy on us.

Christ have mercy on us, and pardon our sins.
Through Thy inflamed desire to redeem mankind,
Have mercy on us.

Through Thy humility in washing, as on this day, the feet of Thy disciples, and even those of the traitor Judas,

Have mercy on us.

Through Thy ineffable love, manifested, as on this day, in the institution of the Communion of Thy most precious body and blood,

Have mercy on us.

Through the prayer Thou didst, as on this day, thrice repeat in the garden of Olives, when in Thy most bitter agony Thou didst sweat great drops of blood falling to the ground, Have mercy on us.

Through the blows, buffets, and opprobrious usage, which Thou the God of Heaven didst endure the night before Thy crucifixion,

Spare us, we beseech Thee, and deliver us, O Lord.

From all irreligion, from the neglect, &c.

Then continue with the usual Litany, &c. (page 72), to the end of the Thursday Evening Prayers, adding after the Lord's Prayer the following Collect:

Collect for Maunday Thursday.

CHRIST, God over all blessed for ever, who didst endure to be treacherously betrayed by wicked Judas, who didst adjudge him the punishment of his guilt, but didst also award the penitent thief the reward of his confession; grant us, we beseech Thee, the effects of Thy mercy, that as in Thy passion Thou gavest to each different retribution according to their deserts, so Thou wouldst take from us our old errors, and grant us the grace of Thy resurrection; who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.

GOOD FRIDAY.

MORNING PRAYER.

All standing, the head of the family (or the priest or deacon, if present) says:

. O Lord, open Thou our lips.

Ry. And our mouth shall shew forth Thy praise.

. O God, make speed to save us. Ry. O Lord, make haste to help us. . Glory be to the Father, &c.

Ry. As it was, &c.

Then he says the following Psalm :

them that offend of malicious wick

PART OF PSALM 59, v. 1.
ELIVER me from mine ene-edness.
O God defend me
from them that rise up against me.

Dmies,

O deliver me from the wicked doers and save me from the bloodthirsty men.

For lo, they lie waiting for my soul the mighty men are gathered against me; without any offence or fault of me, O Lord.

They run and prepare themselves without my fault: arise Thou therefore to help me, and behold.

Stand up, O Lord God of hosts, Thou God of Israel, to visit all the heathen and be not merciful unto

They go to and fro in the evening: they grin like a dog, and run about through the city.

Behold, they speak with their mouth, and swords are in their lips : for who doth hear?

But Thou, O Lord, shalt have them in derision and Thou shalt laugh all the heathen to scorn.

My strength will I ascribe unto Thee for Thou art the God of my refuge.

God sheweth me His goodness plenteously and God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.

Then all say,

Then he says,

AY the reading of the Holy Word (or Holy Gospel) be unto us salvation and protection. Amen.
