Antiphon 1
Elizabeth, the wife of Zechariah, gave birth to a great man, John the
Baptist, who prepared the way for the Lord.
Psalm 113
Praise, O servants of the Lord,
Praise the name of the Lord!
May the name of the Lord be blessed
Both now and for evermore!
From the rising of the sun to its settingPraised be the name of the Lord!
High above all nations is the Lord,
Above the heavens his glory.
Who is like the Lord, our God,
Who has risen on high to his throne
Yet stoops from the heights to look down,To look down upon heaven and earth?
From the dust he lifts up the lowly,
From his misery he raises the poor
To set him in the company of princes,
Yes, with the princes of his people.
To the childless wife he gives a home
And gladdens her heart with children.
Glory to the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be forever

HYMN Te Deum
Antiphon 2
John, the forerunner of the Lord, was born of an old and childless co
ple.
Psalm 146
My soul, give praise to the Lord;
I will praise the Lord all my days,
Make music to my God while I live.
Put no trust in prin
In mortal men in whom there is no h
Take their breath, they return to c
And their plans that day come to noth
He is happy who is helped by Jacob’s God,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God,
Who alone made heaven and earth,
The seas and all they contain.
It is he who keeps faith for eWho is just to those who are oppres
It is he who gives bread to the hun
The Lord, who protects the stran
And upholds the widow and orp
It is the Lord who loves the just
But thwarts the path of the wicked.
The Lord will reign for ever,
Zions’ God from age to age.Glory to the Father, the
and the Holy Sp
As it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be forever

Antiphon 3

See how your enemies perish;
All doers of evil are scattered.
To me you give the wild-ox’s stren
You anoint me with the purest
My eyes looked in triumph on my f
My ears heard gladly of their
The just will flourish like the palm-
And grow like a Lebanon ce
Planted in the house of the Lord
They will flourish in the courts of our God,
Still bearing fruit when they are old,
Still full of sap, still green,To proclaim that the Lord is just.
In him, my rock, there is no wrong.
Glory to the Father, the
and the Holy Sp
As it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be forever

Antiphon 2
The Lord made my tongue a sharp sword; he hid me in the shadow of
his hand.
Psalm 92
I
It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
To make music to your name, O Most High,
To proclaim your love in the morning
And your truth in the watches of the night,
On the ten-stringed lyre and the lute,With the murmuring sound of the harp.
Your deeds, O Lord, have made me glad;
For the work of your hands I shout with joy.
O Lord, how great are your works!
How deep are your designs!
The foolish man cannot know thisAnd the fool cannot understand.
Though the wicked spring up like grass
And all who do evil thrive:
They are doomed to be eternally destroyed.
But you, Lord, are eternally on high.
Glory to the Father, the Sonand the Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be forever
All repeat Antiphon 2

HYMN
The Lord is God, the mighty God,
The great king over all the gods.
He holds in his hands the depths of the earth
And the highest mountains as well.
He made the sea; it belongs to him,The dry land, too, for it was formed by his hands.
(antiphon is repeated)
Come, then, let us bow down and worship,
Bending the knee before the Lord, our maker.
For he is our God and we are his people,
The flock he shepherds.
(antiphon is repeated)
Today, listen to the voice of the Lord:
Do not grow stubborn, as your fathers did
In the wilderness,
When at Meriba and Massah
They challenged me and provoked me,
Although they had seen all my works.
(antiphon is repeated)
Forty years I endured that generation.
I said, “They are a people who hearts go astray
And they do not know my ways.”So I swore in my anger,
“They shall not enter into my rest.”
(antiphon is repeated)
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever.
Amen.
(antiphon is repeated)
