O God, my God, to You do I watch at break of day.
For you my soul has thirsted; for You my flesh, O how many ways!
In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come to You , to see Your power and Your glory.
For Your mercy is better than lives: You my lips shall praise.
Thus will I bless You all my life long: and in Your Name I will lift up my hands.
Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.
If I have remembered You upon my bed, I will meditate on You in the morning: because You have been my helper.
And I will rejoice under the covert of Your wings: my soul has cleaved to You : Your right hand has received me.
But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth: they shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be portions of foxes.
But the king shall rejoice in God, al they shall be praised that swear by Him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
Glory be to the Father, etc.

O Queen of all the virgin choir,
Enthroned above the starry sky,
Who with your bosoms milk did feed
Your own Creator, Lord most high.
What man had lost in hapless Eve
Your sacred womb to man restores;
You to the wretched here beneath
Hast opened Heaven's eternal doors.
Hail, O refulgent Hall of light,
Hail, Gate august of Heaven's high King,
Through you redeemed to endless life,
Your praises let all the nations sing.
O Jesu, born of Virgin bright,
Immortal glory be to You ,
Praise to the Father Infinite,
And Holy Spirit eternally. Amen.

The Canticle of Zachary, Luke 1.
Blessed be the Lord, God of Israel, because He has visited and wrought redemption for His people,
And has raised up a horn of salvation for us, in the house of David His Servant,
As He promised through the mouth of His holy ones, the prophets from of old;
Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all who hate us,
To show mercy to our forefathers and to be mindful of His holy covenant,
O f the oath that He swore to Abraham our father, that He would grant us,
That, delivered from the hand of our enemies, we should serve Him without fear,
In holiness and justice before Him all our days.
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Most High, for You shall go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,
To give to His people knowledge of salvation through forgiveness of their sins,
Because of the loving-kindness of our God, wherewith the Orient from on high has visited us,
To shine on those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory be to the Father, etc.
