Psalm 131
O Lord, my heart is not lifted up,
my eyes are not raised too high;
I do not occupy myself with things
too great and too marvelous for me.
But I have calmed and quieted my life,
like a weaned child with his mother;
I am lie a weaned child.
O Israel, hope in the Lord
now and forever.
The Song Of Simeon
Lord, let now your servant go in peace,
according to your word.
My own eyes have seen the salvation
which you have prepared
in the sight of all peoples:
a light of revelation to the nations
and the glory of your people Israel.
Hail, Holy Queen
Hail holy Queen, mother of mercy,
hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope!
To you we cry, the children of Eve;
to you we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this land of exile.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
your eyes of mercy toward us;
lead us home at last
and show us the blessed fruit
of your womb, Jesus:
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
