This ordered world which thou hast made;
Parent of heavenly clemency,
In nature One, in persons Three;
Assist us while our minds we raise,
Inflamed with thy immortal praise;

Forever our thanksgiving pay.
May age by age thy wonders tell,
Eternal praise thy works reveal,
And sing with the celestial host
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

3 And they cried one to another, and said: Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God of hosts, all the earth is full of his glory.
4 And the lintels of the doors were moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

Ex libro sancti Fulgéntii Epíscopi, de fide ad Petrum
Inter Opera Augustini, tom. 3
Fides, quam sancti Patriárchæ atque Prophétæ ante incarnatiónem Fílii Dei divínitus accepérunt, quam étiam sancti Apóstoli ab ipso Dómino in carne pósito audiérunt, et Spíritus Sanctus magistério instrúcti non solum sermóne prædicavérunt, verum étiam ad instructiónem salubérrimam posterórum scriptis suis índitam reliquérunt; unum Deum prǽdicat Trinitátem, id est, Patrem, et Fílium, et Spíritum Sanctum. Sed Trínitas vera non esset, si una eadémque persóna dicerétur Pater et Fílius et Spíritus Sanctus.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Quis Deus magnus sicut Deus noster?

Reading 4
From the Book on the Faith, addressed to Peter by St. Fulgentius, Bishop [of Ruspa]
Found in the Works of Augustine, tom. 3
The Faith which the holy Patriarchs and Prophets received from God before His Son was made Flesh, the Faith which the holy Apostles heard from the Lord Himself when Present in the Flesh, the Faith which the same Apostles learnt by the teaching of the Holy Ghost not only to preach by word of mouth, but also to leave behind them in their writings for the healthful instruction of all that should come after, that Faith teacheth that the Trinity, that is to say, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, is but One God. But we could not truly call the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost a Trinity, if One and the Selfsame Person were named Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Who is so great a God as our God?
* Thou art the God that doest wonders.
℣. Thou hast declared thy strength among the people Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people.
℟. Thou art the God that doest wonders.

Si enim, sicut est Patris, et Fílii, et Spíritus Sancti una substántia, sic esset una persóna; nihil omníno esset in quo veráciter Trínitas dicerétur. Rursus quidem Trínitas esset vera, sed unus Deus Trínitas ipsa non esset, si quemádmodum Pater, et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus personárum sunt ab ínvicem proprietáte distíncti, sic fuíssent naturárum quoque diversitáte discréti. Sed quia in illo uno vero Deo Trinitáte, non solum quod unus Deus est, sed étiam quod Trínitas est, naturáliter verum est; proptérea ipse verus Deus in persónis Trínitas est, et in una natúra unus est.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Reading 5
Nor if as the Being of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost is One Being, so were there but One Person, then were it untrue to say that God is a Trinity. On the other hand, if, as the Persons of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are distinguished One from Another by that which is proper to Each, so were They diverse by difference of nature, then were it untrue to say that God is One. But since concerning the nature of the One True God, Who is a Trinity, it is the Truth to say that God is One, and the Truth to say that God is a Trinity, therefore the True God is a Trinity in Persons, and an Unity in nature.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. To thee be praise, to thee be glory, to thee be thanksgiving for ever and ever,
* O Blessed Trinity.

Per hanc unitátem naturálem totus Pater in Fílio et Spíritu Sancto est, totus Fílius in Patre et Spíritu Sancto est, totus quoque Spíritus Sanctus in Patre et Fílio.

Reading 6
Through this Oneness of nature All That the Father is is in the Son and the Holy Ghost, All That the Son is is in the Father and the Holy Ghost, and All That the Holy Ghost is is in the Father and the Son. Of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, None is without Other, None is before Other, None is Greater than Other, None is Mightier than Other. The Father, as touching the One Divine Nature, is neither before nor greater than the Son and the Holy Ghost neither is it possible that the Eternity and Infinity of the Son, whether as before or greater, should be before or greater than the Eternity and Infinity of the Spirit.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
* And His Wisdom is unsearchable.

Non enim nos secúndum córporum conditiónem, divisiónem in Deo fácimus; sed secúndum divínæ natúræ poténtiam, quæ in matéria non est, et nóminum persónas vere constáre crédimus, et unitátem divinitátis esse testámur.

From the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew
Matt 28:18-20
At that time, Jesus said unto His disciples: All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. And so on.
Homily by St. Gregory of Nazianzus, Patriarch of Constantinople
Treatise on the Faith
There is no Catholic but knoweth that the Father is a Very Father, the Son a Very Son, and the Holy Ghost a Very Holy Ghost, even as the Lord Himself saith unto His Apostles: "Go ye and baptize all nations in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." This is that Perfect Trinity Who is but One being, and of Whom therefore we testify that His Substance is one. For we make no division in God, as divisions are made in bodies, but we testify, that, according to the power of the Divine Nature, Which standeth not in matter, the Persons named have a real existence, and that God is One.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. Bless we the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
* Let us praise and exalt Him above all for ever.
℣. Blessed art Thou, O Lord, in the firmament of heaven, and above all to be praised and glorified for ever.
℟. Let us praise and exalt Him above all for ever.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.
Benedictio. Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum. Amen.

Nec extensiónem partis alicúius ex parte, ut quidam putavérunt, Dei Fílium dícimus: nec verbum sine re, velut sonum vocis, accípimus: sed tria nómina et tres persónas uníus esse esséntiæ, uníus maiestátis atque poténtiæ crédimus. Et ídeo unum Deum confitémur: quia únitas maiestátis, plúrium vocábulo deos próhibet appellári.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Duo Séraphim clamábant alter ad álterum:
* Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth: * Plena est omnis terra glória eius.
℣. Tres sunt qui testimónium dant in cælo: Pater, Verbum, et Spíritus Sanctus: et hi tres unum sunt.
℟. Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟. Plena est omnis terra glória eius.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. God's most mighty strength alway be His people's staff and stay. Amen.
Reading 8
We do not say, as some have dreamt, that the Begetting of the Son of God is an outgrowing from one part to another part neither do we say that He is the Word in the sense of a mere sound uttered by a voice, but we do believe that these three Names and the Persons meant by them are all of only One Being, One Majesty, and One Power. And therefore we testify that God is one, because this One-ness of His Majesty forbiddeth that we should use the Plural form of speech and say, "Gods."
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. One Seraph cried unto another:
* Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory.
℣. There are Three That bear record in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these Three are One.
℟. Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God of hosts.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. The whole earth is full of His glory.

℣. Iube, Dómine, benedícere.
Benedictio. Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum. Amen.
Lectio 9
Dénique Patrem et Fílium cathólice nominámus; duos autem Deos dícere, nec póssumus, nec debémus. Non quod Fílius Dei Deus non sit, immo verus Deus de Deo vero; sed quia non aliúnde, quam de ipso uno Patre, Dei Fílium nóvimus, perínde unum Deum dícimus. Hoc enim Prophétæ, hoc Apóstoli tradidérunt: hoc ipse Dóminus dócuit, cum dicit: Ego et Pater unum sumus. Unum ad unitátem divinitátis, ut dixi, refert; Sumus autem, persónis assígnat.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Te Deum
Te Deum laudámus: * te Dóminum confitémur.
Te ætérnum Patrem * omnis terra venerátur.
Tibi omnes Ángeli, * tibi Cæli, et univérsæ Potestátes:
Tibi Chérubim et Séraphim * incessábili voce proclámant:
(Fit reverentia) Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus * Dóminus Deus Sábaoth.
Pleni sunt cæli et terra * maiestátis glóriæ tuæ.
Te gloriósus * Apostolórum chorus,
Te Prophetárum * laudábilis númerus,
Te Mártyrum candidátus * laudat exércitus.
Te per orbem terrárum * sancta confitétur Ecclésia,
Patrem * imménsæ maiestátis;
Venerándum tuum verum * et únicum Fílium;
Sanctum quoque * Paráclitum Spíritum.
Tu Rex glóriæ, * Christe.
Tu Patris * sempitérnus es Fílius.
Fit reverentia
Tu, ad liberándum susceptúrus hóminem: * non horruísti Vírginis úterum.
Tu, devícto mortis acúleo, * aperuísti credéntibus regna cælórum.
Tu ad déxteram Dei sedes, * in glória Patris.
Iudex créderis * esse ventúrus.
Sequens versus dicitur flexis genibus
Te ergo quǽsumus, tuis fámulis súbveni, * quos pretióso sánguine redemísti.
Ætérna fac cum Sanctis tuis * in glória numerári.
Salvum fac pópulum tuum, Dómine, * et bénedic hereditáti tuæ.
Et rege eos, * et extólle illos usque in ætérnum.
Per síngulos dies * benedícimus te.
Fit reverentia, secundum consuetudinem
Et laudámus nomen tuum in sǽculum, * et in sǽculum sǽculi.
Dignáre, Dómine, die isto * sine peccáto nos custodíre.
Miserére nostri, Dómine, * miserére nostri.
Fiat misericórdia tua, Dómine, super nos, * quemádmodum sperávimus in te.
In te, Dómine, sperávi: * non confúndar in ætérnum.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring. Amen.
Reading 9
It is Catholic language to say, "Father and Son," but we cannot and must not say that the Father and the Son are two gods. And that, not because the Son of God is not by Himself God; yea, He is Very God of Very God but because we know that the Son of God is not from elsewhere, but from the One Father Himself, and therefore we say that God is One. This is the doctrine which Prophets and Apostles have delivered; this is the doctrine which the Lord Himself taught when He said: "I and the Father are One,” John x. 30, that is, He meant, as touching the one Divine Being, but as touching Persons, We are distinct.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Te Deum
We praise thee, O God, * we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship thee, * the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud, * the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.
To thee Cherubim and Seraphim * continually do cry.
(bow head) Holy, Holy, Holy * Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full * of the Majesty of thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles * praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets * praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs * praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world * doth acknowledge thee;
The Father, * of an infinite Majesty.
Thine honourable, true, * and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost, * the Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory, * O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting * Son of the Father.
During the following verse all make a profound bow:
When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man, * thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, * thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come * to be our Judge.
Kneel for the following verse
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, * whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious Blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints, * in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people, * and bless thine heritage.
Govern them, * and lift them up for ever.
Day by day * we magnify thee;
During the following verse, by local custom, all make a profound bow.
And we worship thy Name * ever, world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us * this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, * have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, * as our trust is in thee.
O Lord, in thee have I trusted, * let me never be confounded.

Reliqua omittuntur, nisi Laudes separandæ sint.

Skip the rest, unless praying Lauds separately.
