No VII.-FOR SAINTS' DAYS. (Supernæ matris gaudia) SET forth, O Church, exultingly O let the mother aid her child,' The world, the flesh, and Satan wage This triple league with hatred sore And joined in kindred union strive No languor, no old age they know, The citizens Angelical, Unfaltering they fix their glance The Fathers ranged on either hand, The Saints of God, whose high estate Their King in all His Beauty see. Us, by Thy Church Triumphant's prayer, Amen. PSALM XLVIII. (Magnus Dominus.) FOR WHIT-SUNDAY. GREAT is the Lord! Let the watchword be given, One to another, in earth as in Heaven, Pass the Hosanna that never shall cease. Fair to the eye is that beautiful city, Fair in her glory, and fair in her doom; Lovely she lay in the light of His pity, Whose tears were the dew of her fast-closing gloom. |
