but look upon the Sacrifice that was offered to take away sin. Behold, before Thee I, most unworthy, would make memorial of that most worthy Sacrifice. Behold, before Thee I would plead the Offering once made for the sin of the whole world. I have nothing else to plead. I have no offering of my own to bring. The Sacrifice of Thine own dear Son-that is my plea. Oh, cast me not out, but accept a poor sinner, for the sake of the sinless One. Amen.

For supply of Spiritual needs.

LORD, I am not worthy of the least of Thy mercies, yet, trusting to Thy loving-kindness, I draw nigh. I am guilty; and I come to Him who hath power to forgive sins for pardon. I am sick; and I come to the true Physician for the healing of my soul. I am blind; and I come to the Light of the world for light in my darkness. I am poor; and I come to the Lord of all things for the true riches. I am naked; and I come to the King of glory for the white robe of righteousness. O merciful Jesu, hear me, and grant me all that my soul needeth, both now and evermore. Amen.

For Faith.

O GOD, who alone canst give sight to the blind, open the eye of my soul to look at the things which are not seen. Lift it from the earthly elements of

Bread and Wine that I may gaze upon the Lamb sacrificed for me, and see my Saviour giving for me His most precious Body and Blood upon the altar of the Cross; that so I may adore His love, and offer unto Him the incense of holy worship; through the same Thy son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For Healing Virtue.

O LORD JESU, who didst heal the woman who touched the hem of Thy garment in the crowd, I would stretch out the hand of faith and touch Thee even now. Oh, let the healing virtue come forth and make me whole; for Thine own mercy's sake. Amen.

For the sense of Christ's Presence.

O LORD JESU, who wast known to the two disciples at Emmaus in the Breaking of bread, have mercy upon me; open mine eyes that I may see; and make Thyself known to Thine unworthy servant in this Breaking of bread. Hear me, O Jesu, who livest and reignest, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, One God evermore. Amen.

For the Blessings of the Sacrament.

0 BLESSED JESU, our Lord and our God, we are about to obey Thy dying Command, and to do this in remembrance of Thee. We plead Thy all-precious Sacrifice before the heavenly Throne. We believe

that Thou art evermore interceding for us above, presenting before the eternal Father Thy sacred Body, with its blessed wounds. So would we plead for acceptance through the same all-prevailing Sacrifice. O Lamb of God, slain for us, we crave and long for a share in Thy glorious merits. 0 Christ, our Passover, sacrificed for us, with desire do we desire to eat this Passover with Thee. We desire to be fed, nourished, strengthened, with the precious sustenance of Thy Body broken and Blood shed for us. Receive us, unworthy though we are, and make us partakers of Thy all-holy Sacrifice; who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, One God evermore. Amen.

HYMN IV.

(PART I.)

BE still, my soul! for God is near;
The great High Priest is with thee now!
The Lord of Life Himself is here,
Before whose Face the Angels bow.

To make thy heart His lowly throne
Thy Saviour God in love draws nigh;
He gives Himself unto His own,
For whom He once came down to die.

He pleads before the Mercy-seat--

He pleads with God; He pleads for thee;
He gives Thee Bread from Heaven to eat-
His Flesh and Blood in mystery.

I come, O Lord!-for Thou dost call-
To blend my pleading prayer with Thine ;
To Thee I give myself-my all,

And feed on Thee and make Thee mine.

PART II.)

O BODY broken for my sake,

And dying on the awful tree,

That I from death new life should take
And live engrafted into Thee;

O Living Bread! who once didst die
And lay Thee down in rocky tomb,
Within my heart for ever lie,

And shed Thy brightness o'er its gloom
O Precious Blood! so freely shed,
Sweet pledge of pardon from above;
Speak to my heart, so cold and dead,
And wake it into life and love.

Amen.

Speak better things than Abel's blood,-
My ransom paid, my sins forgiven,
My soul restored to peace with God,
My place prepared for me in Heaven!

HOLY COMMUNION.

O Sacred Food! O Cleansing Stream!
Fill all my soul with love Divine;
O Thou, who didst my life redeem,

Come to my heart and make me Thine! Amen

W. D. M.

HYMN V.

HERE, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face;
0
Here faith can touch and handle things unseen
Here would I grasp with firmer hand Thy grace,
And all my weariness upon Thee lean.

Here would I feed upon the Bread of God;
Here drink with Thee the royal Wine of heaven;
Here would I lay aside each earthly load,
Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.

I have no help but Thine; nor do I need
Another arm save Thine to lean upon;
It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed;
My strength is in Thy might, Thy might alone.

Mine is the sin, but Thine the righteousness;
Mine is the guilt, but Thine the cleansing Blood
Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace-
Thy Blood, Thy righteousness, O Lord, my God!

Amen.
