On Sunday the celebrant, or another priest appointed by him, blesses holy water in the sacristy. The celebrant then vests in a cope of the color of the day, goes to the altar, and genuflects with his ministers on the first step. He takes the sprinkler from the Deacon, sprinkles the altar three times, then himself and the ministers standing with him. He then intones:
[Priest] Asperges me... [Priest] Thou shalt purge me...
The priest sprinkles the rest of the clergy and then the people
while all sing:
[Congregation:] Domine, [Congregation:] O Lord, with
hyssopo, et mundabor: lavabis hyssop, and I will be clean: Thou
me, et super nivem dealbabor. shalt wash me and I shall be

away mine offences
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Glory be to the Father and to
Spiritui Sancto. the Son and to the Holy Ghost.
Sicut erat in principio, et As it was in the beginning, is

saeculorum. Amen. without end. Amen.
Asperges me... Thou wilt purge me...
The antiphon is repeated in this manner on all Sundays of the
year, except on Passion and Palm Sundays, when the Gloria Patri
is omitted, and except for the time between Easter and Pentecost,
inclusive, when it is replaced by the following:
Vidi Aquam
[P] Vidi aquam... [P] I saw water flowing...

Vidi aquam... I saw water flowing...
On Trinity Sunday the antiphon Asperges me is resumed.
On Easter and Pentecost, the water blessed during the vigil is used.
The celebrant, having returned from sprinkling the people, stands
before the altar and says:

He receives a little wine into the chalice, and continues: Corpus tuum, Domine, quod May Thy Body, O Lord, which I sumpsi, et Sanguis, quem potavi, have eaten, and Thy Blood which I adhaereat visceribus meis: et have drunk, cleave unto my very praesta; ut in me non remaneat soul, and grant that no trace of scelerum macula, quem pura et sin be found in me, whom these sancta refecerunt sacramenta: pure and holy mysteries have Qui vivis et regnas in saecula renewed.

Through Amen. Christ our Lord. Amen. The priest kisses the altar, and turns for the Blessing (omitted in Requiems).
