''¶ The lofesongs of the day are sung. Meanwhile the Priester hushedly says:''

Priester: (Hushed) O holy God, who lavenest in Thy Holy Stead; who art besonged by the Burning-ghosts with thrice-holy shout, and bewoldered by the Mighty-ghosts, and worshipped by every heavenly Mighty; Who out of nothing hast brought all things into being; Who hast made man after Thine own builth and likeness and has bedecked him with thine every gift; Who givest to him that askest wisdom and understanding; Who loathest not the sinner, but has fixed atonement unto ferrowrede; Who hast vouchsafed unto us, Thy lowly and unworthy bondsmen, even in this stound to stand before the wolder of thy holy Glowstead and to put forth the worship and mearth which are due unto Thee: Thyself, O Master, ontake even from the mouth of us sinners the Thrice-holy Song, and and beseek us in Thy goodness. Forgive us every misdeed both freewilling and unfreewilling; hallow our souls and bodies; and give us to stead Thee in holiness all the days of our life: through the formiddling of the holy Mother of God and of all the Holies who from the beginning of the world have been well-quemely unto Thee.

Priester: Help us, hain us, have mildse on us, and keep us, O God, by Thy will. Wisdom!

(Hushedly) Again and oftentimes we fall down before Thee and beseech Thee, O Good Lord Who lovest mankind, that looking down upon our bidding Thou wilt cleanse our souls and bodies from all befoulment of flesh or ghost; and make us to stand guiltless and without fordeemment before Thy holy Glowstead. Give also, O God, to those who bid Thee with us growth in life and lief and ghostly understanding. Let them always guiltlessly bestead Thee with fear and love, and to partake without fordeem-ment of Thy Holy Wonders, and to be reckoned worthy of Thy heavenly Kingdom:

(Aloud) That bewarded always by Thy might we may give wolder unto Thee: to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: always, now and forever, world without end.

Folk: Amen.

The Song of the Mighty-ghosts
Folk: We who wonderously fortread the Mighty-ghosts, and sing to the life-giving Three-onehood the thrice-holy song, let us now lay aside all earthly cares…

¶ Meanwhile the Priester prepares the Great Incoming, hushedly saying the following:

Priester: (Hushedly) No one who is bound with the cravings and lusts of the flesh is worthy to draw nigh to bestead Thee, O King of Glory: for to bestead Thee is a great and frightful thing even to the Heavenly Mighties. Nevertheless, through Thine unspeakable and boundless love toward mankind Thou didst become man, yet shiftlessly and unfrothered, and as Lord of all didst take the name of our High Priester, and didst give unto us the holystead of this unbloody agiving. For Thou alone, O Lord our God, overseest those in heaven and on earth; who art borne on the seat of the Mighty-ghosts; who art Lord of the Burning-ghosts and King of Israel, who alone art holy and lavest in Thy Holy Stead.

Wherefore I beseech Thee Who alone art good and art ready to listen: Look down upon me, a sinner, and Thy worthless bondsman, and cleanse my soul and my heart and the eyes of my heart, marred by evil; and by the might of Thy Holy Ghost cannen me, who am forwaded with the holy Priesterhood, to stand before this Thy Holy Stead, and do forth the hallowed Wonder of Thy holy and flawless Body and dearworth Blood. For I draw near unto Thee, and bowing my neck I beg Thee: turn not Thy nebb from me, neither cast me out from among Thy servants; but vouchsafe that these gifts may be agiven Thee by me, Thy sinful and unworthy bondsman: for Thou Thyself are He That gives and is given, That ontakes and is bedealt, O Christ our God: and unto Thee we give wolder: together with Thy Father Who is from everlasting, and Thine all-holy, good, and life-giving  Ghost: now and forever, world without end. Amen.

''¶ The Priester now says the Cherubsong, berooks the Glowstead, the ikons, and the folk, saying Psalm 50 (51) as he goes. He makes three low bows before the Glowstead, kisses the Witherboard and the Glowstead, wends and bows to the folk, and goes to the Readying-table; he berooks the holy Gifts, bows, and says:''

(Hushedly) O God, be arefull unto me a sinner, and have milde upon me.

¶ Then he takes up the Loft and lays it upon his shoulders, saying:

(Hushedly) Lift up your hands to the holy Steads, and bless ye the Lord.

The Great Incoming
¶ The Priester takes up the flatbowl in his left hand, and the holy Kelk in his right hand, and following the Rood, the Kurs, and the rookbearers, goes forth around the Church, saying aloud:

Priester: (Aloud) The Lord God be mindful of us all in his kingdom, always: now and forever, world without end.

Folk: (to each bid) Amen.

Our father and Landoverseer (or Townoverseer) (Name) and our father and Overseer (Name): the Lord God be mindful of them in his kingdom, always: now and forever, world without end.

The servant(s) of God of true worship witten this life in the hope of gainrising and life everlasting: N. (NN.): the Lord God be mindful of them in his kingdom, always: now and forever, world without end.

¶ The folk fullcome the Song of the Mighty-ghosts:

''…that we may onfang the King of all, Who comes unseen, upborne by the Heavenly Host. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!''

''¶ Meanwhile the Priester goes in to the Holystead. He puts the holy Gifts upon the Glowstead, hushedly saying:''

(Hushedly) The ethel Josef, when he had taken down Thy spotless body from the tree, wrapped it in good linen and wort, and sorrowing lay it in a new grave.

In the Grave with the body, but in the Netherworld with the Soul, as God; in Godstow with the Thief, and on the Kingseat with the Father and Holy Ghost wast Thou, O Christ, filling all things, Thyself unfettered.

As giving life, as more thrimful than Godstow, and more throughbright than any king’s chamber, O Christ, is shown forth Thy grave, the wellspring of our gainrising.

¶ The Priester berooks the holy Gifts thrice, hushedly saying the last bit of Psalm 50 (51):

(Hushedly) Then shall they blote young bullocks upon Thy glowstead.

Let us love one another, that with one will we may say forth:

¶ The Priester makes three low bows before the Glowstead, kisses the shroud overspreading the holy Gifts, and hushedly says thrice:

(Hushedly) I will love Thee, O Lord, my strength: the Lord is my fast groundstone, my haven, and my ferrowrede.

(Aloud) The doors! The doors! In wisdom, let us take heed.

The Samelore
All: I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things seen and unseen:

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only-begotten, Begotten of the Father before all worlds, Light of Light, True God of True God, Begotten, not made; of one pith with the Father, by Whom all things were made:

Who for us men and for our ferrowrede came down from heaven and was enfleshed of the Holy Ghost and the Maiden Maria, and was made man;

And was roodfastened also for us under Pontius Pilatus, and thrawed and was buried;

And the third day He rose again, by the Holiwrits;

And went up into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father;

And He shall come again with wolder to deem the quick and the dead, Whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life, Who goes forth from the Father, Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and bewoldered, Who spake by the Godsayers;

And I believe in One Holy Alsome and Apostelish Church.

I acknowledge one Fulwight for the forgiveness of sins.

I look for the Gainrising of the dead,

''And the Life of the world to come. Amen.''
