Printed 366
1Confiteantur Tibi opera, Deus;
2Et sancti Tui benedicant Tibi.[*Psal.* cxlv. 10.]
3Aperi os meum ad benedicendum nomen Tuum;
4Domine, labia mea aperies,
5Et os meum annunciabit laudem Tuam.[*Psal.* li. 15.]
6Peccantem me, Domine, et non pœnitentem,
7ac ita prorsus indignum,
8Deceret magis coram Te jacere prostratum,
9ac cum fletu et gemitu
10peccatorum veniam postulare, quam Te
11ore polluto laudare.
12De ingenti tamen bonitate Tua confisus, do.
13O, suscipe laudes quas decantare desidero.
14Ego indignus peccator, certe indignus,
15sed utinam devotus et Tibi gratus,
16Tibi gratias ago, Te adoro, laudo, benedico, Teque glori-
17fico.Dignus es, Domine Deus, accipere laudes et
18gratias.[*Apoc.* iv. 11.]
19Quem ego peccator non sum dignus invocare, nec vel
20nominare, vel in corde cogitare.

22sæculum benedico.
23Actus Spei.
24In Te, Domine, speravi; ne confundar in æternum.

1Let thy works confess thee, O God;
2And let thy saints bless thee.[Ps. 145:10]
3Open thou my mouth to bless thy Name;
4O Lord, thou shalt open my lips,
5And my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.[Ps. 51:15]
6Me, that sin, O Lord, and repent not,
7and am therefore utterly unworthy,
8It were more meet that I should lie prostrate before thee,
9and with weeping and groaning
10crave pardon for my sins, than that I should praise thee
11with a polluted mouth.
12Yet, trusting in thy exceeding goodness, I give them.
13O, receive the praises which I long to sing thee.
14I, an unworthy sinner, unworthy indeed,
15yet would God devout, and acceptable unto thee,
16give thee thanks, adore thee, praise, bless, and glorify
17thee.Thou art worthy, O Lord God, to receive praise
18and thanks.[Rev. 4:11]
19Whom I, a sinner, am not worthy to call upon, no, nor
20yet to name, nor to think upon in my heart.
21Thee I call upon, thee I adore, thee with the whole
22affection of my heart I bless, now and for ever.
23The Act of Hope.
24O Lord, in thee have I trusted; let me never be confounded.
25[Ps. 31:1]
27My flesh also shall rest in hope.[Ps. 16:9]
28Thy word, wherein thou hast given me hope.[Ps. 119:114]
