Good Friday

TRACT. Hab. 3. O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: I have considered thy works, and was confounded.

℣. O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years: in the midst of the years make it known ℣. In the time of confusion of my soul: in wrath, remember mercy. ℣. God came from Teman, and his Holy One from the thick woods of the mountains. ℣. His glory covered the heavens: and the earth was full of his praise.

The Tract being ended, the Priest at the Epistle corner shall say: Let us pray. Then shall the Deacon say: Let us bow the knee. And the Subdeacon: Arise.

COLLECT.

ALMIGHTY God, we beseech thee graciously to behold this thy family, for which our Lord Jesus Christ was contented to be betrayed, and given up into the hands of wicked men, and to suffer death upon the Cross: Who now liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. ℟. Amen.

Let us pray. Let us bow the knee. ℟. Arise.

COLLECT.

ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of the Church is governed and sanctified: receive our supplications and prayers, which we offer before thee for all estates of men in thy holy Church; that every member of the same, in his vocation and ministry, may truly and godly serve thee. Through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. ℟. Amen.

Let us pray. Let us bow the knee. ℟. Arise.
