Liturgy from an old English Missal

A Short Liturgy from the Sarum Missal
 
THE HOLY TRINITY 





 
LitanyO Lord Almighty, Father unbegotten, upon us miserable sinners,
Have mercy
O Lord, who hast redeemed the work of Thy hands by Thine only Son, 
Have mercy upon us.
O Lord, Adonai, blot out our offences, and upon They people
Have mercy





O Christ, Brightness of the Father's glory, and the express image of His person, 
Have mercy upon us
O Christ, who didst save the world at the command of the Father
Have mercy upon us
O Christ, Saviour of men, eternal Life of Angels, 
Have mercy upon us



O Lord, Spirit, the Comforter, Dispenser of pardon, 
Have mercy
O Lord, Fountain of mercy and of sevenfold grace, 
Have mercy upon us
O lord, most pitiful Forgiver, proceeding from Both, 
O most bountiful Giver of gifts, Teacher, Quickener, of Thy goodness 
Have mercy upon us.
