Tibi, Christe, splendor Pa-
tris,
Vita, virtus cordium;
In conspectu angelorum
Votis, voce psallimus:
Alternantes concrepando
Melos damus vocibus.
Collaudamus venerantes,
Omnes cœli principes,
Sed præcipue fidelem
Medicum, et comitem
Raphaelem, in virtute
Alligantem dæmonem.
Quo custode procul pelle,
Rex Christe piissime,
Omne nefas inimici,
Mundo corde et corpore:
Paradiso redde tuo
Nos sola clementia.
Gloriam Patri melodis
Personemus vocibus:
Gloriam Christo canamus,
Gloriam Paraclito;
Qui trinus et unus Deus
Extat ante sæcula. Amen.
. The angel stood by the altar of the temple. R. Having in his hand a censer of gold.
Jesu, brightness of the Father!
Life and strength of all who live!
In the presence of the angels,
Glory to thy name we give;
And thy wondrous praise rehearse
Singing in alternate verse.
Hail, too, ye angelic powers!
Hail, ye thrones celestial!
Hail, Physician of salvation!
Guide of life, blest Raphael!
Who, the foe of all mankind
Didst in links of iron bind.
Oh, may Christ, by thy protection,
Shelter us from harm this day;
Keep us pure in flesh and spirit;
Save us from the enemy;
And vouchsafe us, of his grace,
In his Paradise a place.
Glory to th' almighty Father,
Sing we now in anthems sweet;
Glory to the great Redeemer;
Glory to the Paraclete;
Three in one, and one in three,
Throughout all eternity. Amen.
. Stetit angelus, &c. as above.
The Chair of St. Peter. JAN. 18.
Quodcumque in orbe nexi-
bus vinxeris,
Erit revinctum, Petre, in
arce siderum;
Et quod resolvit hic potes-
tas tradita, [vertice;
Erit solutum cœli in alto
In fine mundi judicabis sæ-
culum.
Patri perenne sit per ævum
gloria,

Tibique laudes concinamus
Æterne Nate, sit superne
Spiritus [ta jugiter
Honor tibi, decusque: sanc-
Laudetur omne Trinitas per
sæculum.
. Tu es Petrus. Ry. Et super hanc petram ædificabo Ecclesiam meam.
R. And on this rock I will build my Church.
y. Elegit te Dominus sacerdotem sibi.
R. Ad sacrificandum ei hostiam laudis.
y. The Lord chose thee for a priest unto himself.
R. To offer him the sacrifice of praise.
The Lord commands; and, lo, his
iron chains, [mand obey:
Falling from Peter, the com-
Peter, blest shepherd! who, to
St. Peter's Chains. Aug. 1.
Miris modis repente liber,
ferrea, [trus exuit:
Christo jubente, vincla Pe-
Ovilis ille Pastor, et Rector
gregis, [tes sacros,
Vitæ recludit pascua et fon-
Ovesque servat creditas, ar-

Patri perenne sit per ævum
gloria,
[inclytas,
Tibique laudes concinamus
Eterne nate, sit superne
Spiritus
verdant plains, [day to day, And life's immortal springs, from Leads on his gentle charge, driving all wolves away.
Praise to the Father, through all [Son,
The same to Thee, O co-eternal And Holy Ghost, One glorious Trinity;
