THE OFFICE OF PRIME.

Before Prime are said inaudibly the Our Father, the Hail Mary, and the I believe in God.

Then is said aloud:

OME unto my help, O God.

R. O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory be to the Father, etc. Alleluia (or, in Lent, Praise to Thee, O Lord, King of eternal glory).

HE star of morn to night succeeds;
We therefore meekly pray,

May God, in all our words and deeds,
Keep us from harm this day.

May He in love restrain us still

From tones of strife and words of ill,
And wrap around and close our eyes
To earth's absorbing vanities.

* Translation by Cardinal Newman.

May wrath and thoughts that gender shame
Ne'er in our breasts abide,

And painful abstinences tame
Of wanton flesh the pride;

So when the weary day is o'er,

And night and stillness come once more,
Blameless and clean from spot of earth
We may repeat with reverent mirth—

To God the Father glory be,

And to His Only Son,

And to the Spirit, One and Three,

While endless ages run.

Amen.

Then follow the Psalms, which are said under one Antiphon:

Ant. for Sundays. Alleluia.

Ant. for week-days. Blessed are they that walk.

Psalm 53.

AVE me, O God, by Thy name: and judge me in
Thy strength.

Hear my prayer, O God: give ear unto the words of my mouth.

For strangers have risen up against me, and the mighty have sought after my soul and they have not set God before their eyes.

For behold, God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

Turn back evil upon mine enemies: and destroy Thou them in Thy truth.

I will freely sacrifice unto Thee, and will praise Thy name, O Lord for it is good:
