Noon Prayer or Sext
V. O Lady, make speed to befriend me.
R. From the hands of the enemy powerfully defend me.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.—Amen.
Praise be to thee, O Lord, King of eternal glory.
Hymn
Hail, Virginal Mother,
Hail, purity's Cell,
Fair Shrine where the Trinity
Loveth to dwell:
Hail, Garden of pleasure,
Celestial balm,
Cedar of chastity,
Martyrdom's palm.
Thou land set apart
From uses profane,
And free from the curse
Which in Adam began.
Thou City of God,
Thou gate of the East:
In thee is all grace,
O joy of the blest!
V. As the lily among the thorns.
R. So is my beloved among the daughters of Adam.
V. O Lady, recommend my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
Holy Mary, Queen of heaven, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, and Mistress of the world, who forsakest no one, and despisest none; look upon me, O Lady, with an eye of pity, and obtain for me, of thy beloved Son, the forgiveness of all my sins; that, as I now celebrate with devout affection thy holy and Immaculate Conception, so, hereafter, I may receive the prize of eternal blessedness, by the grace of Him whom thou, in virginity, didst bring forth, Jesus Christ our Lord: who, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth, in perfect Trinity, God, world without end.—Amen.
V. O Lady, recommend my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
V. Let us bless the Lord.
R. Thanks be to God.
V. May the souls of the faithful, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
