of God.

Jam sol recedit igneus,
Tu lux perennis Unitas,
Nostris, beata Trinitas,
Infunde amorem cordibus.

Te mane laudum carmine,
Te deprecamur vespere;
Digneris, ut te supplices
Laudemus inter cœlites.

Now doth the fiery sun decline:Thou, Unity Eternal! shine; Thou, Trinity, thy blessings pour, And make our hearts with love run o'er.

Thee in the hymns of morn we praise;

To Thee our voice at eve we raise; Oh, grant us, with thy Saints on high,

Thee through all time to glorify.
Praise to the Father, with the Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One;
As ever was in ages past,
And shall be so while ages last.
Amen.

. Blessed art thou, O Lord, in the firmament of heaven.

B. Worthy to be praised and magnified for ever.

Pange lingua gloriosi Corporis mysterium, Sanguinisque pretiosi, Quem in mundi pretium Fructus ventris generosi Rex effudit gentium.

Nobis datus, nobis natus Ex intacta Virgine, Et in mundo conversatus, Sparso verbi semine, Sui moras incolatus, Miro clausit ordine.

In supremæ noctæ cœnæ, Recumbens cum fratribus, Observata lege plene Cibis in legalibus, Cibum turbæ duodenæ Se dat suis manibus.

Verbum caro, panem verum

Verbo carnem efficit: Fitque sanguis Christi me

Sing, my tongue, the Saviour's

glory,

Of his Flesh the mystery sing; Of the Blood, all price exceeding, Shed by our immortal King, Destin'd, for the world's redemption,

From a noble womb to spring.

Of a pure and spotless Virgin
Born for us on earth below,
He, as Man with man conversing,
Stay'd, the seeds of truth to sow;
Then he clos'd in solemn order
Wondrously his life of woe.

On the night of that Last Supper,
Seated with his chosen band,
He the paschal victim eating,

First fulfils the law's command; Then, as food to all his brethren, Gives himself with his

hand.

Own

Word made flesh, the bread of nature

By his word to flesh he turns; Wine into his blood he changes:What though sense no change discerns?

Only be the heart in earnest,

Faith her lesson quickly learns.

Down in adoration falling,

Lo! the sacred host we hail;
Lo! o'er ancient forms departing,
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail.

R. Containing in itself

leluia.

Auctor beate sæculi,

Christe Redemptor omnium,
Lumen Patris de lumine,
Deusque verus de Deo.

Amor coegit te tuus
Mortale corpus sumere,
Ut novus Adam redderes,
Quod vetus ille abstulerat
Ille amor almus artifex
Terræ marisque, et siderum,
Errata patrum miserans,
Et nostra rumpens vincula.

Non corde discedat tuo
Vis illa amoris inclyti:
Hoc fonte gentes hauriant
Remissionis gratiam.

Percussum ad hoc est lancea,
Passumque ad hoc est vul-

Jesu, Creator of the world!

Of all mankind Redeemer blest! True God of God! in whom we see The Father's Image clear express'd!

Thee, Saviour, love alone constrain'd [own; To make our mortal flesh thine And as a second Adam come, For the first Adam to atone.

That self-same love, which made the sky, [and earth, Which made the sea, and stars, Took pity on our misery, [birth. And broke the bondage of our O Jesus! in thy heart divine

May that same love for ever glow;

For ever mercy to mankind [flow. From that exhaustless fountain For this, thy sacred heart was pierc'd, [ran,

And both with blood and water To cleanse us from the stains of guilt, [man.

And be the hope and strength of To God the Father, and the Son, All praise, and power, and glory be;

With Thee, O holy Comforter, Henceforth through all eternity. Amen.

Joseph, pure spouse of that im

[bright, Who shines in ever-virgin glory Thy praise let all the earth reechoing send

Back to the realms of light. Thee, when sore doubts of thine affianced wife [dismay, Had fill'd thy righteous spirit with An Angel visited, and, with blest words,

Scatter'd thy fears away. Thine arms embraced thy Maker newly born [thou flee; With Him to Egypt's desert didst Him in Jerusalem didst seek and find;

Oh, day of joy to thee!

Not until after death their blissful crown [given, Others obtain; but unto thee was In thine own lifetime to enjoy thy God,

As do the blest in Heaven.
