FROM the Introit for the Mass of the Third Sunday in Advent (Philippians iv 4-6):

Rejoice in the Lord always: again I say, rejoice. Let your modesty be known to all men: for the Lord is nigh. Be nothing solicitous: but in everything by prayer let your petitions be known to God. Ps. Lord thou hast blessed Thy land: Thou has turned away the captivity of Jacob. v. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
