O SANCTE SANCTORUM

O Holy of Holies, the spotless mirror of the power of God, and the image of His goodness: Come and blot out iniquity, and bring in everlasting righteousness.

O Lord Jesu Christ, promised as the Holy One,
the anointed Priest and Prince,
who should make reconciliation for iniquity
and bring in everlasting righteousness;
Thou art indeed the Most Holy,
the very Shrine of the Godhead;
Thou art the spotless mirror of the majesty of God,
and the image of His goodness;
in Thy face the glory of God shines forth.
Thou, Jesus Christ the Righteous,
art the propitiation for our sins
and for the whole world:
Come, we pray Thee, and put forth the might of Thy grace,
and destroy the works of the devil,
whom Thou didst vanquish on the cross,
and restore all things to their perfection.
According to Thy promise we look for new heavens and a new earth,
wherein dwelleth righteousness.
