Creed and Collects
Anthem: Tu solus facis mirabilia (Josquin des Pres)
Thou only, who doest wonders; thou only art Creator, who createdst us; thou only art Redeemer, who redeemedst us with thy most precious blood. In thee alone we seek refuge, in thee alone we put our trust; and no other we adore, Jesus Christ. To thee we offer our prayers; hear what we beg of thee, O King benign. To love another would be delusion; to worship another would be profound ignorance and sin. Hear our sighs, fill us with thy grace. O King of kings: that we may remain in thy service with joy for ever.
