Priest goes up to the Altar,
saying privately:
TAKE FROM US our sins, O Lord, that
we may enter with pure minds into
the holy of holies. Through Christ Our
Lord. Amen.

WE BESEECH THEE, O Lord, by the
merits of Thy Saints whose relics lie
here, and of all the saints, deign in Thy
mercy to pardon me all my sins. Amen.
Priest goes to
Epistle side:
INTROIT:
(Apoc. 5, 9-10 )
THOU HAST redeemed
us for God with Thy
Blood, out of every tribe and tongue and
people and nation, and hast made them
for our God a kingdom. The mercies
of the Lord I will sing forever: I will
speak forth Thy Truth with my mouth
from generation to generation. Glory
be, etc. Thou hast, etc.
(Repeated as far as )
After Introit, priest returns to

GLORIA
(Omitted when black or violet

GLORY TO GOD in the highest, and on
earth peace to men of good will. We
praise Thee. We bless Thee. We adore
Thee. We glorify Thee. We give Thee
thanks for Thy great glory. O Lord
God, heavenly King, God the Father
Almighty; O Lord Jesus Christ, the onlybegotten
Son; Lord God, Lamb of God.
Son of the Father, Who takest away
sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Who takest away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer. Who sittest at the
right hand of the Father, have mercy
on us. For Thou alone art holy. Thou
alone art Lord. Thou alone, O Jesus
Christ, art most high. Together with
the Holy Ghost, in the glory of God
the Father. Amen.
Priest kisses Altar stone,
turns to people and says:
P The Lord be with you.
R And with thy spirit.
Priest now goes to Epistle side:
