Paul the Blessed Saint, the Lord’s Apostle said
If one come to preach to you
Other doctrine than we knew,
Be he man or angel bright,
Curs’d be he in Church’s sight;
Doctrines all diverse arise,
Shooting up many lies;
Blest is he who first and last
Trusts God’s truth and holds it fast.

By thy Mother’s earnest pray’rs,
By thy Saints’ entreaties;
I adore Thee, Lord and King!
Sole begotten, Heavenly One,
Word and Father’s Son,
Though Immortal Thou dost be—
In Thy nature true,
Thou descendedst by Thy grace,
Bringing life –salvation free—
For our fallen human race;
Thou incarnate – wast of her,
Holy Virgin blest –
Mary, glorious, chaste and pure,
Mother of our God.
Man becoming nor with change,
Thou wast crucified for us,
Christ, who art our Lord and God.
Thou didst trample death by death,
Ending this our death.
Thou art One of persons three,
Holy Trinity,
Worshipped equal – praised the same,
With the Father, and the Holy Ghost,
Have Thou mercy –on—us all.

We believe in one true God,

And in one Lord, Jesus Christ- the Only Begotten Son of God- begotten of the Father- before all worlds- Light of Light- Very
God of Very God- begotten, not made- being of the same substance with the Father- and by whom all things were made- Who for
us men and for our salvation came down + from heaven, And was incarnate of the holy Virgin Mary- Mother of God- by the Holy
Ghost- and became man And was crucified + for us- in the days of Pontius Pilate- and suffered, and died- and was buried, And the
third day rose again + - according to His will- and ascended into heaven- and sits at the right hand of the Father- and shall come
again in His great glory- to judge both the living and the dead- whose kingdom shall have no end.
And in the One, Living, Holy Spirit- the life-giving Lord of all- Who proceeds from the Father- and Who with the Father, and
the Son- is worshipped and glorified-Who spoke through the prophets and the apostles.
And in the One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church- And we acknowledge one baptism- for the remission of sins- and look
for the resurrection of the dead- and the new life in the world to come. Amen.

and His truth shall encompass you like an armor.

9 - (Since you have said), ‘Thou art the Lord, my trust, who hast placed Thy abode in the heights.’

Psalm 51
(Barekmor),
1- Have mercy upon me O Lord, according to Thy loving kindness and according to Thy great compassion blot out my
transgressions.
2,3 - Wash away all my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sins. For I acknowledge my transgressions and my sins are always
before me.
4,5 - Against you, you only, have I sinned and done evil before Thee, so that you are proved right when you speak, and justified
when you judge. Surely I was sinful at my birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6,7 - Surely you desire truth in the inner parts. Teach me wisdom in the inmost place. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be
clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8,9 - Fill me with your joy and gladness and my feeble bones shall rejoice. Turn your face from my sins and blot out all my
iniquities.
10,11 - Create in me a clean heart O God, and renew in me a right spirit. Do not cast me away from your presence and take not
your Holy Spirit from me.
12,13 - Restore to me the joy of your salvation and may your glorious spirit uphold me. Then will I teach sinners your ways
and they shall be converted to you.
14,15 - Deliver me from blood guilt, O God, the God of my salvation and my tongue shall praise your righteousness. O Lord,
open my lips and my mouth shall sing your righteousness.
16,17 - For you do not delight in mere sacrifices, neither had you been reconciled by mere burnt offerings. The sacrifice
acceptable to God is a humble spirit and a contrite heart, God despises not.
18, 19 - Do good to Zion according to your good pleasures and build up the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will be pleased with
righteous sacrifices and in whole burnt offerings. Then they shall offer bullocks upon your altar.
(Meet unto Thee O God is glory. Barekmor.)
