My LORD’s BibleThe Roman Missal: Supplement, Masses Authorized for England (English) 6
2Introit. The Lord Jesus Christ humbled himself unto death, even the death of the cross: wherefore God also hath exalted him, and hath given him a name which is above every name. Ps. The mercies of the Lord I will sing for ever. I will show forth thy truth with my mouth to generation and generation. Glory, &c.
3Prayer. Deus qui nobis. O God, who in the holy winding-sheet, in which thy most sacred body was wrapped by Joseph after it was taken down from the cross, hast left us a token of thy passion: mercifully grant that by thy death and burial we may be brought to the glory of thy resurrection. Who livest, &c.

5Lesson. Isaias lxii. 11, lxiii. 1—7. Thus saith the Lord God: Tell the daughter of Sion: Behold thy Saviour cometh, behold his reward is with him. Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bosra, this beautiful one in his robe, walking in the greatness of his strength? I, that speak justice, and am a defender to save. Why then is thy apparel red, and thy garments like theirs that tread in the wine-press? I have trodden the wine-press alone, and of the Gentiles there is not a man with me: I have trampled on them in my indignation, and have trodden them down in my wrath, and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my apparel. For the day of vengeance is in my heart, the year of my redemption is come. I looked about, and there was none to help: I sought, and there was none to give aid: and my own arm hath saved for me, and my indignation itself hath helped me. And I have trodden down the people in my wrath, and have made them drunk in my indignation, and have brought down their strength to the earth. I will remember the tender mercies of the Lord, the praise of the Lord for all the things that the Lord our God hath bestowed on us.
7Tract. Surely he hath borne our infirmities, and carried our sorrows. And we have thought him as it were a leper, and as one struck by God and afflicted. But he was wounded for our iniquities, he was bruised for our sins. The chastisement of our peace was upon him: and by his bruises we are healed.

13Gospel. St. Mark xv. 42—46. At that time: when evening was now come (because it was the Parasceve, that is, the day before the Sabbath), Joseph of Arimathea, a noble counsellor, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. But Pilate wondered that he should be already dead. And sending for the centurion, he asked him if he were already dead. And when he had understood it by the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. And Joseph buying fine linen, and taking him down, wrapped him up in the fine linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewed out of a rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre. Credo.
14Offertory. When Aaron went into the tabernacle, to offer a holocaust upon the altar for the sins of the children of Israel, he was clothed with a linen tunic.
15Secret. May these offerings be acceptable to thee, O Lord, to whom the glorious passion of thy Son for the salvation of the world was pleasing. Through the same, &c.
