Hymn:

O Lady set in glory great,
Above the stars in high degree,
That gave him suck with sacred breast,
By providence that formed thee.

By thy fair blossom thou restored,
What lamentable Eve decayed:
That wailing wights might mount the stars,
The heavens' window thou art made.

The gate thou art of the high king,
The port of light that glisters clear,
Since life was given by a maid.
Let freed men show joyful cheer.

Glory be unto thee O Lord,
That born was of the virgin pure.
With the father and holy Ghost,
All ages ever to endure. Amen.

Ant.I Blessed art thou, O Mary, for of thee the salvation of the world has come. Now because of thy glory, thou rejoicest before the Lord. Intercede for us to thy son.
Psalm 62.
O God my God: to thee I watch from the morning light.
My soul hath thirsted to thee: my flesh to thee very many ways.
In desert land, and inaccessible, and without water, so in the holy have I appeared to thee:
that I might see thy strength, and thy glory.
Because thy mercy is better than lives:
my lips shall praise thee.
So will I bless thee in my life: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
As with lard and fatness let my soul be filled:
and my mouth shall praise with lips of joyfulness.
So have I been mindful of thee upon my bed, in the morning I will meditate on thee:
because thou hast been my helper.
And in the cover of thy wings I will rejoice, my soul hath cleaved after thee:
thy right hand hath received me.
Ant.I Blessed art thou, O Mary, for of thee the salvation of the world has come. Now because of thy glory, thou rejoicest before the Lord. Intercede for us to thy son.

Psalm 149
Sing ye to our Lord a new song:
his praise in the church of saints.
Let Israel be joyful in him, that made him:
and let the daughters of Sion rejoice in their king.
Let them praise his name in dance:
on timbrel, and psaltery let them sing to him.

and he hath exalted the meek unto salvation.

they shall be joyful in their beds.
The joyfulness of God in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands.
To do revenge in the nations:
chastisements amongst his peoples.
To bind their kings in fetters:
and their nobles in iron manacles.
That they may do in them the judgment that is written:
this glory is to all his saints.
Ant.III O Virgin Mary, rejoice always, for thou hast merited to bear Christ the Saviour.

Benedictus.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel:
he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people.
And hath erected the horn of salvation to us:
in the house of David his servant.
As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets:
that are from the beginning.
Salvation from our enemies:
and from the hand of all that hate us.
To work mercy with our fathers:'
and to remember his holy testament.
The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father:
that he would give to us.
That without fear being delivered from the hand of our enemies:
we may serve him.
In holiness and justice before him: all our days.
And thou child, shalt be called the prophet of the highest:
for thou shalt go before the face of our Lord, to prepare his ways.
To give knowledge of salvation to his people:
unto remission of their sins.
Through the dephth of the mercy of our God in which the orient from on high, hath visited us.
To illuminate them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death:
to direct our feet into the way of peace.
Ant. The portals of heaven through Eve were fixed shut; and through Mary the Virgin were opened wide.
