2 Office Hȳmn. M. 10th cent. Tr. C. B.

Verbum supernum prodiens.

HIGH Word of God, who once didst come, Leaving thy Father and thy home, To succour by thy birth our kind, When, towards thine advent, time declined, 2 Pour light upon us from above, And fire our hearts with thy strong love, That, as we hear thy Gospel read, All fond desires may flee in dread ; 3 That when thou comest from the skies, Great Judge, to open thine assize, To give each hidden sin its smart, And crown as kings the pure in heart, 4 We be not set at thy left hand, Where sentence due would bid us stand, But with the Saints thy face may see, For ever wholly loving thee. 5. Praise to the Father and the Son, Through all the ages as they run: And to the holy Paraclete Be praise with them and worship meet. Amen.

3 Horologion. c. 8th cent. Tr. G. Moultrie.

'Iδoù ò Nυμφίος ἔρχεται.

BEHOLD the Bridegroom cometh in the middle of the night, And blest is he whose loins are girt, whose lamp is burning bright ; But woe to that dull servant, whom the Master shall surprise With lamp untrimmed, unburning, and with slumber in his eyes.

INNOCENTS' DAY.

35

The Venerable Bede, 673-735. Tr. J. M. Neale

Hymnum canentes martyrum.

THE hymn for conquering Martyrs raise,

The victor Innocents we praise,

Whom in their woe earth cast away,

But heaven with joy received to-day ;

Whose Angels see the Father's face

World without end, and hymn his grace ;

And, while they chant unceasing lays,

The hymn for conquering Martyrs raise.

2 A voice from Ramah was there sent,

A voice of weeping and lament,

When Rachel mourned the children's care

Whom for the tyrant's sword she bare.

Triumphal is their glory now,

Whom earthly torments could not bow,

What time, both far and near that went,

A voice from Ramah was there sent.

3* Fear not, O little flock and blest,

The lion that your life oppress !

To heavenly pastures ever new

The heavenly Shepherd leadeth you ;

Who, dwelling now on Sion's hill,

The Lamb's dear footsteps follow still ;

By tyrant there no more distrest,

Fear not, O little flock and blest.

4* And every tear is wiped away

By your dear Father's hands for ay :

Death hath no power to hurt you more,

Whose own is life's eternal store.

Who sow their seed, and sowing weep,

In everlasting joy shall reap,

What time they shine in heavenly day,

And every tear is wiped away.

FROM THE OCTAVE OF THE EPIPHANY TILL LENT : SUNDAY.

49 Office Hymn. Saturday, E. St. Ambrose, 340-97.

Deus Creator omnium.

Tr. C. B.

CREATOR of the earth and sky,

Ruling the firmament on high,

Clothing the day with robes of light,

Blessing with gracious sleep the night,

2 That rest may comfort weary men,

And brace to useful toil again,

And soothe awhile the harassed mind,

And sorrow's heavy load unbind :

3 Day sinks ; we thank thee for thy gift ;

Night comes ; and once again we lift

Our prayer and vows and hymns that we

Against all ills may shielded be.

4 Thee let the secret heart acclaim,

Thee let our tuneful voices name,

Round thee our chaste affections cling,

Thee sober reason own as King.

5 That when black darkness closes day,

And shadows thicken round our way,

Faith may no darkness know, and night

From faith's clear beam may borrow light.

6 Rest not, my heaven-born mind and will ;

Rest, all ye thoughts and deeds of ill ;

May faith its watch unwearied keep,

And cool the dreaming warmth of sleep.

7 From cheats of sense, Lord, keep me free,

And let my heart's depth dream of thee ;

Let not my envíous foe draw near,

To break my rest with any fear.

Pray we the Father and the Son,

And Holy Ghost : O Three in One,

Blest Trinity, whom all obey,

Guard thou thy sheep by night and day. Amen.

Office Hymn. 6th cent. Tr.

Aeterna caeli gloria.

ETERNAL Glory of the sky,

Blest hope of frail humanity,

The Father's sole-begotten One,

Yet born a spotless Virgin's Son !

2 Uplift us with thine arm of might.

And let our hearts rise pure and bright,

And, ardent in God's praises, pay

The thanks we owe him every day.

3 The day-star's rays are glittering clear,

And tell that day itself is near :

The shadows of the night depart ;

Thou, holy Light, illume the heart !

4 Within our senses ever dwell,

And worldly darkness thence expel ;

Long as the days of life endure,

Preserve our souls devout and pure.

5 The faith that first must be possest,

Root deep within our inmost breast :

And joyous hope in second place,

Then charity, thy greatest grace.

All laud to God the Father be,

All praise, eternal Son, to thee ;

All glory, as is ever meet,

To God the holy Paraclete. Amen.

62 Office Hymn. c. 7th cent. Tr. J. D. Chambers‡. Plasmatōr hominis, Deus.

MAKER of man, who from thy throne Dost order all things, God alone ; By whose decree the teeming earth To reptile and to beast gave birth :

2 The mighty forms that fill the land, Instinct with life at thy command, Are given subdued to humankind For service in their rank assigned.

3 From all thy servants drive away Whate'er of thought impure to-day Hath been with open action blent, Or mingled with the heart's intent.

4 In heaven thine endless joys bestow, And grant thy gifts of grace below ; From chains of strife our souls release, Bind fast the gentle bands of peace.

5 O Father, that we ask be done, Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son ; Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee, Doth live and reign eternally. Amen.

(Until Caullemas the Doxology of No. 36 may be used for Nos. 50–62.)

67 Office Hymn. E. Lent iii. till Passion Sunday. Before 12th cent. Tr. T. A. L.

Ecce tempus idoneum.

NOW is the healing time decreed

For sins of heart, of word or deed,

When we in humble fear record

The wrong that we have done'the Lord ;

2 Who, alway merciful and good,

Has borne so long our wayward wood,

Nor cut us off unsparingly

In our so great iniquity.

3 Therefore with fasting and with prayer,

Our secret sorrow we declare ;

With all good striving seek his face,

And lowly hearted plead for grace.

4 Cleanse us, O Lord, from every stain,

Help us the meed of praise to gain,

Till with the Angels linked in love

Joyful we tread thy courts above.

Father and Son and Spirit blest,

To thee be every prayer addrest,

Who art in threefold Name adored,

From age to age, the only Lord. Amen.

68 Office Hymn. M. Lent iii. till Passion Sunday. Ascr. to St. Gregory the Great. 6th cent. Tr. M. F. B.

Clarum decus jejunii.

THE glory of these forty days

We celebrate with songs of praise ;

For Christ, by whom all things were made,

Himself has fasted and has prayed.

2 Alone and fasting Moses saw

The loving God who gave the Law ;

And to Elijah, fasting, came

The steeds and chariots of flame.

Ps. 51. N. Tate and N. Brady. (New Version, 1698.)

HAVE mercy, Lord, on me,

Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

As thou wert ever kind;

Let me, oppress'd with loads of guilt,

Thy wonted mèrcy find.

2 Wash off my foul offence,

Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

And cleanse me from my sin;

For I confess my crime, and see

For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.

How great my guilt has been.

3 The joy thy favour gives

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

Let me again obtain,

And thy free Spirit's firm support

My fainting soul sustain.

To God the Father, Son,

Glory to God the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

And Spirit glory be,

As 'twas, and is, and shall be so

To all eternity. Amen.

75

J. J. Cummins ‡, 1795-1867.

JESU, Lord of life and glory,

Bend from heaven thy gracious ear ;

While our waiting souls adore thee,

Friend of helpless sinners, hear :

By thy mercy,

O deliver us, good Lord.

2* Taught by thine unerring Spirit

Boldly we draw nigh to God,

Only in thy spotless merit,

Only through thy precious Blood :

By thy mercy,

O deliver us, good Lord.

3 From the depth of nature's blindness,

From the hardening power of sin,

From all malice and unkindness,

From the pride that lurks within :

By thy mercy,

O deliver us, good Lord.

J. Addison, 1672-1719.

WHEN, rising from the bed of death,

O'erwhelmed with guilt and fear,

I see my Maker face to face,

'O how shall I appear ?

2 If yet, while pardon may be found,

And mercy may be sought,

My heart with inward horror shrinks,

'And trembles at the thought ;

3 When thou, O Lord, shalt stand disclosed

In majesty severe,

And sit in judgement on my soul,

O how shall I appear?

4 But thou hast told the troubled mind

Who does her sins lament,

The timely tribute of her tears

Shall endless woe prevent.

5 Then see the sorrows of my heart,

Ere yet it be too late;

And hear my Saviour's dying groans,

To give those sorrows weight.

6 For never shall my soul despair

Her pardon to procure,

Who knows thine only Son has died

To make her pardon sure.

The following are also suitable:

316 Just as I am, without one plea.

477 Rock of ages, cleft for me.

O THOU who through this holy week Didst suffer for us all, The sick to cure, the lost to seek, To raise up them that fall :

2 We cannot understand the woe Thy love was pleased to bear; O Lamb of God, we only know That all our hopes are there.

3 Thy feet the path of suffering trod; Thy hand the victory won : What shall we render to our God For all that he hath done?

O grant us, Lord, with thee to die, With thee to rise anew; Grant us the things of earth to fly, The things of heaven pursue.

LORD, in thy name thy servants plead, -

And thou hast sworn to hear ;

Thine is the harvest, thine the seed,

The fresh and fading year.

2 Our hope, when autumn winds blew wild,

We trusted, Lord, with thee ;

And still, now spring has on us smiled,

We wait on thy decree.

3 The former and the latter rain,

The summer sun and air,

The green ear, and the golden grain,

All thine, are ours by prayer.

4 Thine too by right, and ours by grace,

The wondrous growth unseen,

The hopes that soothe, the fears that brace,

The love that shines serene.

So grant the precious things brought forth

By sun and moon below,

That thee in thy new heaven and earth

We never may forgo.

Metrophanes, Bishop of Smyrna, c 900.

Tr. J. M. Neale.

Τριφηγγὴς μοvὰς θεαρχική.

O UNITY of threefold light,

Send out thy loveliest ray,

And scatter our transgressions' night,

And turn it into day;

Make us those temples pure and fair

Thy glory loveth well,

The spotless tabernacles, where

Thou may'st vouchsafe to dwell.

2 The glorious hosts of peerless might,

That ever see thy face,

Thou mak'st the mirrors of thy light,

The vessels of thy grace.

Thou, when their wondrous strain they weave,

Hast pleasure in the lay :

Deign thus our praises to receive,

Albeit from lips of clay.

And yet thyself they cannot know,

Nor pierce the veil of light

That hides thee from the Thrones below,

As in profoundest night.

How then can mortal accents frame

Due tribute to their King?

Thou, only, while we praise thy name,

Forgive us as we sing.

The following are also suitable :

CHRIST is gone up ; yet ere he passed

From earth, in heaven to reign,

He formed one holy Church to last

Till he should come again.

2 His twelve Apostles first he made

His ministers of grace ;

And they their hands on others laid,

To fill in turn their place.

3 So age by age, and year by year,

His grace was handed on ;

And still the holy Church is here,

Although her Lord is gone.

Let those find pardon, Lord, from thee,

Whose love to her is cold :

And bring them in, and let there be

One Shepherd and one Fold.

POUR out thy Spirit from on high ;

Lord, thine assembled servants bless :

Graces and gifts to each supply,

And clothe thy priests with righteousness.

2 Within the temple when they stand,

To teach the truth, as taught by thee,

Saviour, like stars in thy right hand

May all thy Church's pastors be.

3 Wisdom, and zeal, and faith impart,

Firmness with meekness, from above,

To bear thy people in their heart,

And love the souls whom thou dost love :

4 To watch, and pray, and never faint,

By day and night, strict guard to keep,

To warn the sinner, cheer the saint,

Nourish thy lambs, and feed thy sheep.

Hallow this house with thy sure love,

And bless our festival.

2 Grace in this font is stored

To cleanse each guilty child ;

The Spirit's blest anointing poured

Brightens the once defiled.

Himself the chalice gives,

And feeds his own with Angels' food,

On which the spirit lives.

4 For guilty souls that pine

Sure mercies here abound,

And healing grace with oil and wine

For every secret wound.

5 God from his throne afar,

Comes in this house to dwell ;

And prayer, beyond the evening star,

Builds here her citadel.

All might, all praise be thine,

The God whom all adore ;

The Father, Son, and Spirit divine,

Both now and evermore. Amen.

2 Christ our Saviour weds on this festival

Holy Chutch, the Pattern of Righteousness, Whom from depths of uttermost misery He hath rescued.

3 Now the Bride receiveth his benison,

Tasteth now the joys of the Paraclete ; Kings and queeis with jubilant melody Call her blessèd.

4 Mother meet for sinful humanity,

Life's sure haven, rest for the sorrowful, Strong protectress, born in a mystery Ever wondrous.

5 Not more fair the moon on her loveliness !

Not more bright the sun in his majesty ! Like an army splendid and terrible, Ranged for battle—

6 So the Church shines forth on her pilgrimage,

Signed with Jordan's waters of penitence, Drawn to hear the wisdom of Solomon, From the world's end.

7* So, foretold by figures and prophecies,

Clothed in nuptial vesture of charity, Joined with Christ, o'er heaven's glad citizens Now she reigneth.

8* Welcome ! feast of light and felicity,

Bride to Bridegroom joining in unity ; In her mystic marriage is typified Our salvation.

Christ, whose joys we joyfully celebrate,

Grant us all a place with thy chosen ones, True delights, ineffable happiness, Rest eternal.

O GOD, thy soldiers' crown and guard,

And their exceeding great reward ;

From all transgressions set us free,

Who sing thy Martyr's victory.

2 The pleasures of the world he spurned,

From sin's pernicious lures he turned ;

He knew their joys imbued with gall,

And thus he reached thy heavenly hall.

3 For thee through many a woe he ran,

In many a fight he played the man ;

For thee his blood he dared to pour,

And thence hath joy for evermore.

4 We therefore pray thee, full of love,

Regard us from thy throne above ;

On this thy Martyr's triumph day,

Wash every stain of sin away.

O Christ, most loving King, to thee,

With God the Father, glory be ;

Like glory, as is ever meet,

To God the holy Paraclete. Amen.

FOR A VIRGIN.

191 Office Hymn. Common of a Virgin (in full). E. and M. 8th cent. Tr. L. H.

Part 2. For a Matron. (York.) Virginis Proles.

SON of a Virgin, Maker of thy mother, Thou, Rod and Blossom from a Stem un-stained,

Now while a Virgin fair of fame we honour, Hear our devotion !

2 Lo, on thy handmaid fell a twofold blessing, Who, in her body vanquishing the weakness,

In that same body, grace from heaven obtaining, Bore the world witness.

3 Death, nor the rending pains of death appalled her ;

Bondage and torment found her undefeated: So by the shedding of her life attained she Heavenly guerdon.

Part 2.

4 Fountain of mercy, hear the prayers she offers ; Purge our offences, pardon our transgressions,

So that hereafter we to thee may render Praise with thanksgiving.

Thou, the All-Father, thou the One-Begotten, Thou Holy Spirit, Three in One co-equal,

Glory be henceforth thine through all the ages, World without ending. Amen.

192 Office Hymn. Common of a Virgin. M. and E. St Ambrose, 340-97. Tr. J. M. Neale.

Jesu, Corona Virginum.

JESU, the Virgins' Crown, do thou Accept us as in prayer we bow ;

Born of that Virgin whom alone The Mother and the Maid we own.

SAINTS' DAYS: GENERAL

201

J. Montgomery, 1771-1854.

PALMS of glory, raiment bright,

Crowns that never fade away,

Gird and deck the Saints in light,

Priests, and kings, and conquerors they.

2 Yet the conquerors bring their palms

To the Lamb amidst the throne,

And proclaim in joyful psalms

Victory through his Cross alone.

3 Kings for harps their crowns resign,

Crying, as they strike the chords,

'Take the kingdom, it is thine,

King of kings, and Lord of lords.'

4 Round the altar priests confess,

If their robes are white as snow,

'Twas the Saviour's righteousness,

And his Blood that made them so.

They were mortal too like us ;

Ah ! when we like them must die,

May our souls translated thus

Triumph, reign, and shine on high.

202

Bishop R. Heber, 1783-1826.

THE Son of God goes forth to war,

A kingly crown to gain ;

His blood-red banner streams afar !

Who follows in his train ?

2 Who best can drink his cup of woe,

Triumphant over pain,

Who patient bears his cross below,

He follows in his train.

3 The Martyr first, whose eagle eye

Could pierce beyond the grave ;

Who saw his Master in the sky,

And called on him to save.

ST. DAVID.

211

E. J. Newell.

WE praise thy name, all-holy Lord,

For him, the beacon-light

That shone beside our western sea

Through mists of ancient night;

Who sent to Ireland's fainting Church

New tidings of thy word;

For David, prince of Cambrian Saints,

We praise thee, holy Lord.

2 For all the saintly band whose prayers

Still gird our land about,

Of whom, lest men disdain their praise,

The voiceless stones cry out;

Our hills and vales on every hand

Their names and deeds record:

For these, thy ancient hero host,

We praise thee, holy Lord.

Grant us but half their burning zeal,

But half their iron faith,

But half their charity of heart,

And fortitude to death;

That we with them and all thy Saints

May in thy truth accord,

And ever in thy holy Church

May praise thee, holy Lord.

c. 9th cent. Tr. A. R.

Ave, maris Stella.

HAIL, O Star that pointest

Towards the port of heaven,

Thou to whom as maiden

God for Son was given.

2 When the salutation

Gabriel had spoken,

Peace was shed upon us,

Eden's bonds were broken.

3 Bound by Satan's fettars,

Health and vision needing,

God will aid and light us

At thy gentle pleading.

4 Jesu's tender Mother,

Make thy supplication

Unto him who chose thee

At his Incarnation ;

5 That, O matchless Maiden,

Passing meek and lowly,

Thy dear Son may make us

Blameless, chaste and holy.

6 So, as now we journey,

Aid our weak endeavour,

Till we gaze on Jesus,

And rejoice for ever.

Father, Son and Spirit,

Three in One confessing,

Give we equal glory,

Equal praise and blessing. Amen.

Quem terra, pontus, aethera.

THE God whom earth, and sea, and sky,

Adore, and laud, and magnify,

Who'o'er their threefold fabric reigns,

The Virgin's spotless womb contains.

2 The God whose will by moon and sun

And all things in due course is done,

Is borne upon a Maiden's breast,

By fullest heavenly grace possest.

3 How blest that Mother, in whose shrine

The great Artificer Divine,

Whose hand contains the earth and sky,

Vouchsafed, as in his ark, to lie !

4 Blest, in the message Gabriel brought ;

Blest, by the work the Spirit wrought :

From whom the Great Desire of earth

Took human flesh and human birth.

5 All honour, laud, and glory be,

O Jesu, Virgin-born, to thee !

All glory, as is ever meet,

To Father and to Paraclete. Amen.

From him who made thee thou hast won

But when he doubted what the Angel told him,

Came to him dumbness to confirm the story ;

At thine appearing, healed again behold him,

Chanting thy glory!

4

Oh ! what a splendour and a revelation

Came to each mother, at thy joyful leaping,

Greeting thy Monarch, King of every nation,

In the womb sleeping.

Angels in orders everlasting praise thee,

God, in thy triune Majesty tremendous ;

Hark to the prayers we, penitents, upraise thee :

Save and defend us. Amen.

224 Office Hymn. M. Paulus Diaconus, 8th cent.

Tr. R. E. R.

'Antrac desertí.

E'EN in thy childhood, 'mid the desert places,

Thou hadst a refuge from the city gainèd,

Far from all slander and its bitter traces

Living unstainèd.

2

Often had prophets in the distant ages

Sung to announce the Daystar and to name him;

But as the Saviour, last of all the sages,

Thou didst proclaim him.

3

Than John the Baptíst, none of all Eve's daughters

E'er bore a greater, whether high or lowly :

He was thought worthy, washing in the waters

Jesus the holy.

226 Office Hymn (St. Peter and St. Paul). E and M. Ascribed to Elpis, c. 500. Tr. T. A. L.

Aurea luce.

WITH gold most precious, and with sanguine hues of morn,

O Saviour gracious, Light of light, this day adorn,

To sinners granting pardon, peace, and welcome home,

Where heaven is chanting praise of splendid martyrdom.

2 For thy true servant Peter bearing high the keys,

And Paul whose fervent word proclaimed thy mysteries,

By cross victorious and by sword-stroke triumphing,

Now share the glorious court of life's eternal King.

3 O kindly pastor, unto whose apostolate

The royal Master gave in charge the heavenly gate,

In sin's defiling bondage be our joy to gauge

The reconciling virtue of thine embassage.

4 O faithful teacher, noble saint of ecstasy,

Fuller and richer be the truth we learn of thee,

Till for the failing doctrine that in part we know

His all-revealing light our bounteous God bestow.

5 In faith unshrinking, fearing not your hope to prove,

And deeply drinking from the fount of either love,

Ye stood in union like twin olive trees of grace;

Through whose communion may we seek the Father's face.

Office Hymn. M. Mundi salus affutura.

15th cent. Tr. L. H.

PORTAL of the world's salvation,

Lo, a virgin pure and mild,

Humble-hearted, high in station,

Form of beauty undefiled,

Crown of earth's anticipation,

Comes the Mother-maid with child.

2 * Here, the serpent's power subduing,

See the Bush unburned by fire,

Gideon's Flecee of heaven's imbuing,

Aaron's Rod of bright attire,

Fair, and pure, and peace-ensuing,

Spouse of Solomon's desire.

3 * Jesse's Branch received its Flower,

Mother of Emmanuel,

Portal sealed and mystic Bower

Promised by Ezekiel,

Rock of Daniel's dream, whose power

Smote, and lo, the image fell !

4 See in flesh so great a wonder

By the power of God ordained,—

Him, whose feet all worlds lay under,

In a Virgin's womb contained ;—

So on earth, her bonds to sunder,

Righteousness from heaven hath rained.

5 Virgin sweet, with love o'erflowing,

To the hills in haste she fares ;

On a kindred heart bestowing

Blessing from the joy she bears ;

Waiting while with mystic showing

Time the sacred birth prepares.

6 What fair joy o'ershone that dwelling,

Called so great a guest to greet ;

What her joy whose love compelling

Found a rest for Mary's feet,

When, the bliss of time foretelling,

Lo, the Voice and Word did meet !

Dearly then for that dear offering

Did our Lord in love repay : Since so perfect her devotion, All her sins he put away : Made her be his own forerunner On his Resurrection day.

Now be glory, laud, and honour

6

Unto him the Paschal Host, Who, in war with Death a Lion, As a Lamb gave up the ghost, And the third day rose a Victor Crowned with spoils that Death had lost.

231 Office Hymn. M. and E. Philippe de Grève, d. 1236. Tr. L. H.

O Maria, noli flere.

MARY, weep not, weep no longer, Now thy heart hath gained its goal ; Here, in truth, the Gardener standeth, But the Gardener of thy soul, Who within thy spirit's garden By his love hath made thee whole.

2 Now from grief and lamentation

Lift thy drooping heart with cheer ; While for love of him thou mournest, Lo, thy Lord regained is here ! Fainting for him, thou hast found him ; All unknown, behold him near !

3 * Whence thy sorrow, whence thy weeping,

Since with thee the true bliss abides ? In thy heart, though undiscovered, Balm of consolation hides : Holding all, thou canst no longer Lack the cure that Health provides.

Φωστῆρες τῆς αὐλῆς.

STARS of the morning, so gloriously bright,

Filled with celestial resplendence and light,

These that, where night never followeth day,

Raise the Trisagion ever and ay :

2 These are thy counsellors, these dost thou own,

Lord God of Sabaoth, nearest thy throne ;

These are thy ministers, these dost thou send,

Help of the helpless ones ! man to defend.

3 These keep the guard amid Salem's dear bowers;

Thrones, Principalities, Virtues, and Powers;

Where, with the Living Ones, mystical Four,

Cherubim, Seraphim bow and adore.

4 * 'Who like the Lord ?' thunders Michael the Chief;

Raphael, 'the cure of God,' comforteth grief ;

And, as at Nazareth, prophet of peace,

Gabriel, 'the Light of God,' bringeth release.

5 Then, when the earth was first poised in mid space,

Then, when the planets first sped on their race,

Then, when were ended the six days' employ,

Then all the Sons of God shouted for joy.

Still let them succour us ; still let them fight,

Lord of angelic hosts, battling for right ;

Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour,

We with the Angels may bow and adore.

R. Campbell, 1814--68, and others.

THEY come, God's messengers of love,

They come from realms of peace above,

From homes of never-fading light,

From blissful mansions ever bright.

To soothe our sorrow, calm our fear :

Ye heavenly guides, speed not away,

God willeth you with us to stay.

Both flesh and spirit in thy presence fail,

Yet here thy Presence we devoutly hail.

Who living Bread to men doth here afford !

O may our souls for ever feed on thee,

And thou, O Christ, for ever precious be.

Cleanse us, unclean, with thy most cleansing Blood ;

Increase our faith and love, that we may know

Be saved to sin no more.

Firm at thy post remain ;

And sit thee down on high :

We seal thee for his own ;

And may the brow that wears his Cross

Hereafter share his crown.

JESU, Son of Mary, Fount of life alone, Here we hail thee present On thine altar-throne. Humbly we adore thee, Lord of endless might, In the mystic symbols Veiled from earthly sight.

2 Think, O Lord, in mercy On the souls of those Who, in faith gone from us, Now in death repose. Here 'mid stress and conflict Toils can never cease ; There, the warfare ended, Bid them rest in peace.

3 Often were they wounded In the deadly strife ; Heal them, Good Physician, With the balm of life. Every taint of evil, Frailty and decay, Good and gracious Saviour, Cleanse and purge away.

Santiniketan Viswabharati Library

Rest eternal grant them, After weary fight ; Shed on them the radiance Of thy heavenly light. Lead them onward, upward, To the holy place, Where thy Saints made perfect Gaze upon thy face.

4 If I find him, if I follow,

What his guerdon here ?

'Many a sorrow, many a labour,

Many a tear.

5 If I still hold closely to him,

What hath he at last ?

'Sorrow vanquished, labour ended,

Jordan past.'

6 If I ask him to receive me,

Will he say me nay ?

'Not till earth, and not till heaven

Pass away.'

Finding, following, keeping, struggling,

Is he sure to bless ?

'Angels, Martyrs, Prophets, Virgins,

Answer, Yes!'

Ps. 42. N. Tate and N. Brady, New Version (1696).

As pants the hart for cooling streams

When heated in the chase,

So longs my soul, O God, for thee,

And thy refreshing grace.

2 For thee, my God, the living God,

My thirsty soul doth pine :

O when shall I behold thy face,

Thou Majesty Divine !

3 Why restless, why cast down, my soul ?

Hope still, and thou shalt sing

The praise of him who is thy God,

Thy health's eternal spring.

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

The God whom we adore,

Be glory, as it was, is now,

And shall be evermore. Amen.

J. Keble, 1792-1866.

BLEST are the pure in heart,

For they shall see our God,

The secret of the Lord is theirs,

Their soul is Christ's abode.

2 The Lord, who left the heavens

Our life and peace to bring,

To dwell in lowliness with men,

Their Pattern and their King ;

3 Still to the lowly soul

He doth himself impart,

And for his dwelling and his throne

Chooseth the pure in heart.

Lord, we thy presence seek ;

May ours this blessing be ;

Give us a pure and lowly heart,

A temple meet for thee.

371 Part of Hora novissima (495). Bernard of Cluny, 12th cent. Tr. J. M. Neale.

Hic breve vivitur.

BRIEF life is here our portion,

Brief sorrow, short-lived care ;

The life that knows no ending,

The tearless life, is there.

2 O happy retribution,

Short toil, eternal rest,

For mortals and for sinners

A mansion with the blest !

3 And martyrdom hath roses

Upon that heavenly ground,

And white and virgin lilies

For virgin-souls abound.

4 There grief is turned to pleasure,

Such pleasure as below

No human voice can utter,

No human heart can know.

O clothe us with thy heavenly armour, Lord,

Thy trusty shield, thy sword of love divine;

Our inspiration be thy constant word;

We ask no victories that are not thine :

Give or withhold, let pain or pleasure be;

Enough to know that we are serving thee.

385

FATHER, hear the prayer we offer;

Not for ease that prayer shall be,

But for strength that we may ever

Live our lives courageously.

2 Not for ever in green pastures

Do we ask our way to be;

But the steep and rugged pathway

May we tread rejoicingly.

3 Not for ever by still waters

Would we idly rest and stay;

But would smite the living fountains

From the rocks along our way.

Be our Strength in hours of weakness,

In our wanderings be our Guide;

Through endeavour, failure, danger,

Father, be thou at our side.

386

FATHER of all, to thee

With loving hearts we pray,

Through him, in mercy given,

The Life, the Truth, the Way :

From heaven, thy throne, in mercy shed

Thy blessings on each bended head.

2 * Father of all, to thee

Our contrite hearts we raise,

Unstrung by sin and pain,

Long-voiceless in thy praise :

Breathe thou the silent chords along,

Until they tremble into song.

2 Jesus, the Saviour, reigns,

The God of truth and love ;

When he had purged our stains,

He took his seat above :

3 His kingdom cannot fail ;

He rules o'er earth and heaven ;

The keys of death and hell

Are to our Jesus given :

He sits at God's right hand

Till all his foes submit,

And bow to his command,

And fall beneath his feet :

477

ROCK of ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in thee ;

Let the Water and the Blood,

From thy riven side which flowed,

Be of sin the double cure,

Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

2 Not the labours of my hands

Can fulfil thy law's demands ;

Could my zeal no respite know,

Could my tears for ever flow,

All for sin could not atone ;

Thou must save, and thou alone.

3 Nothing in my hand I bring,

Simply to thy Cross I cling ;

Naked, come to thee for dress ;

Helpless, look to thee for grace ;

Foul, I to the Fountain fly ;

Wash me, Saviour, or I die.

While I draw this fleeting breath,

When mine eyes are closed in death,

When I soar through tracts unknown,

See thee on thy judgement throne ;

Rock of ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in thee.

And every faithless murmur stills:

2 The Angel-host, O King of kings,

Thy praise for ever telling,

In earth and sky all living things

Beneath thy shadow dwelling,

Adore the wisdom which could span

And power which formed creation's plan:

3 What God's almighty power hath made

His gracious mercy keepeth;

By morning glow or evening shade

His watchful eye ne'er sleepeth:

Within the kingdom of his might

Lo! all is just, and all is right:

4 * Then all my gladsome way along

I sing aloud thy praises,

That men may hear the grateful song

My voice unwearied raises:

Be joyful in the Lord, my heart!

Both soul and body bear your part!

O ye who name Christ's holy name,

Give God all praise and glory:

All ye who own his power, proclaim

Aloud the wondrous story!

Cast each false idol from his throne,

The Lord is God, and he alone:

How fast they tire and faint;

How many a spot defiles the robe

Here faith is ours, and heavenly hope,

And grace to lead us higher;

Let right to wrong succeed ;

Let penitential sorrow

To heavenly gladness lead.

Then glory yet unheard of

Shall shed abroad its ray,

Resolving all enigmas,

An endless Sabbath-day.

Of flowers that fear no thorn,

Where they shall dwell as children

Who here as exiles mourn ;

The peace of all the faithful,

The calm of all the blest,

Inviolate, unvaried,

Divinest, sweetest, best ;

And shall be too for earth ;

Work for all that's great and good,

Working for your daily food,

Working whilst the golden hours,

Health, and strength, and youth, are yours.

Not for work that's bought and sold ;

Not the work that worketh strife,

But the working of a life ;

Careless both of good or ill,

If ye can but do his will.

Working ere the day is gone,

Working till your work is done ;

Not as traffickers at marts,

But as fitteth honest hearts ;

Working till your spirits rest

Bows down to wood and stone !

5 Word of life, most pure and strong,

Lo! for thee the nations long;

Spread, till from its dreary night

All the world awakes to light.

6 Up! the ripening fields ye see,

Mighty shall the harvest be;

But the reapers still are few,

Great the work they have to do.

Lord of harvest, let there be

Joy and strength to work for thee,

Till the nations, far and near,

See thy light, and learn thy fear.

CHURCH WORK.

T. T. Lynch, 1818-71.

DISMISS me not thy service, Lord,

But train me for thy will;

For even I, in fields so broad,

Some duties may fulfil;

And I will ask for no reward,

Except to serve thee still.

2 All works are good, and each is best

As most it pleases thee;

Each worker pleases, when the rest

He serves in charity;

And neither man nor work unblest

Wilt thou permit to be.

Our Master all the work hath done

He asks of us to-day;

Sharing his service, every one

Share too his Sonship may :

Lord, I would serve and be a son;

Dismiss me not, I pray.

556

H. Bonar, 1808-89.

GO, labour on ; spend, and be spent,

Thy joy to do the Father's will;

It is the way the Master went;

Should not the servant tread it still ?

2 Go, labour on ; 'tis not for nought;

Thy earthly loss is heavenly gain;

Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not :

The Master praises; what are men?

3 Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray;

Be wise the erring soul to win;

Go forth into the world's highway,

Compel the wanderer to come in.

1 O

JESUS, I have promised To serve thee to the end ; Be thou for ever near me, My Master and my Friend I shall not fear the battle If thou art by my side, Nor wander from the pathway If thou wilt be my Guide.

2 O

let me feel thee near me : The world is ever near ; I see the sights that dazzle, The tempting sounds I hear ; My foes are ever near me, Around me and within ; But, Jesus, draw thou nearer, And shield my soul from sin.

3 O

let me hear thee speaking In accents clear and still, Above the storms of passion, The murmurs of self-will ; O speak to reassure me, To hasten or control ; O speak, and make me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul.

4 O

Jesus, thou hast promised To all who follow thee, That where thou art in glory There shall thy servant be ; And, Jesus, I have promised To serve thee to the end ; O give me grace to follow, My Master and my Friend.

O

let me see thy footmarks, And in them plant mine own ; My hope to follow duly Is in thy strength alone ;

ALL things bright and beautiful,

All creatures great and small,

All things wise and wonderful,

The Lord God made them all.

2 Each little flower that opens,

Each little bird that sings,

He made their glowing colours,

He made their tiny wings.

3 The purple-headed mountain,

The river running by,

The sunset and the morning,

That brightens up the sky ;

4 The cold wind in the winter,

The pleasant summer sun,

The ripe fruits in the garden,—

He made them every one ;

5* The tall trees in the greenwood,

The meadows where we play,

The rushes by the water,

We gather every day ;—

He gave us eyes to see them,

And lips that we might tell

How great is God Almighty,

Who has made all things well.

Bishop W. W. How, 1823-97.

BEHOLD a little Child,

Laid in a manger bed ;

The wintry blasts blow wild

Around his infant head.

But who is this so lowly laid ?

'Tis he by whom the worlds were made.

As round my bed they stay;

My health and friends and parents dear

But what is sent from heaven.

But may it be my daily prayer

To love thee and obey.

Jane E. Leeson, 1807-82.

Loving Shepherd of thy sheep,

Keep thy lamb, in safety keep;

Nothing can thy power withstand,

None can pluck me from thy hand.

2

Loving Saviour, thou didst give

Thine own life that we might live;

And the hands outstretched to bless

Bear the cruel nails' impress.

I would bless thee every day,

Gladly all thy will obey,

Like thy blessed ones above,

Happy in thy precious love.

4

Loving Shepherd, ever near,

Teach thy lamb thy voice to hear;

Suffer not my steps to stray

From the straight and narrow way.

Where thou leadest I would go,

Walking in thy steps below,

Till before my Father's throne

I shall know as I am known.

Stars begin to peep,

Birds and beasts and flowers

Soon will be asleep.

Calm and sweet repose ;

With thy tenderest blessing

May our eyelids close.

Visions bright of thee ;

Guard the sailors tossing

On the deep blue sea.

Watching late in pain ;

Those who plan some evil

From their sin restrain.

May thine Angels spread

Their white wings above me,

Watching round my bed.

Pure, and fresh, and sinless

In thy holy eyes.

WE are but little children poor,

And born in very low estate;

What can we do for Jesu's sake,

Who is so high and good and great?

2 * We know the Holy Innocents

Laid down for him their infant life,

And Martyrs brave and patient Saints

Have stood for him in fire and strife.

3 * We wear the Cross they wore of old,

Our lips have learned like vows to make;

We need not die, we cannot fight,—

What may we do for Jesu's sake?

4 O, day by day, each Christian child,

Has much to do, without, within,—

A death to die for Jesu's sake,

A weary war to wage with sin.

The thoughts of pride and anger rise,

When bitter words are on our tongues,

And tears of passion in our eyes,—

And this Hymn. H. H. Milman, 1791-1868.

RIDE on ! ride on in majesty !

Hark, all the tribes hosanna cry ;

Thine humble beast pursues his road

With palms and scattered garnents strowed.

2 Ride on ! ride on in majesty !

In lowly pomp ride on to die :

O Christ, thy triumphs now begin

O'er captive death and conquered sin.

3 Ride on ! ride on in majesty !

The winged squadrons of the sky

Look down with sad and wondering eyes

To see the approaching sacrifice.

4 Ride on ! ride on in majesty

Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh ;

The Father, on his sapphire throne,

Expects his own anointed Son.

Ride on ! ride on in majesty !

In lowly pomp ride on to die ;

Bow thy meek head to mortal pain,

Then take, O God, thy power, and reign.

Bishop Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609. (Sarum Processional.) Tr. M F. B.

HAIL thee, Festival Day! blest day that art hallowed for ever; Day wherein God o'ercame hell and arose from the dead.

Salve, festa dies.

2 Lo, the fair beauty of earth, from the death of the winter arising, Every good gift of the year now with its Master returns.

3 He who was nailed to the Cross is God and the Ruler of all things ; All things created on earth worship the Maker of all.

4 God of all pity and power, let thy word be assured to the doubting ; Light on the third day returns : rise, Son of God, from the tomb !

5 Ill doth it seem that thy limbs should linger in lowly dishonour, Ransom and price of the world, veiled from the vision of nien.

6* Ill it beseemeth that thou, by whose hand all things are encompassed, Captive and bound shouldst remain, deep in the gloom of the rock.

7* Rise now, O Lord, from the grave and cast off the shroud that enwrapped thee ; Thou art sufficient for us : nothing without thee exists.

8 Mourning they laid thee to rest, who art Author of life and creation ; Treading the pathway of death, life thou bestowedst on man.

ALLEL UYA ! Alleluya ! Alleluya ! Ye sons and daughters of the King, Whom heavenly hosts in glory sing, To-day the grave hath lost its sting. Alleluya !

2 On that first morning of the week, Before the day began to break, The Marys went their Lord to seek.

3 An Angel bade their sorrow flee, For thus he spake unto the three : 'Your Lord is gone to Galilee.'

4 That night the Apostles met in fear, Amidst them came their Lord most dear, And said : 'Peace be unto you here !'

5 When Thomas afterwards had heard That Jesus had fulfilled his word, He doubted if it were the Lord.

6 'Thomas, behold my side,' saith he, 'My hands, my feet, my body see ; 'And doubt not, but believe in me.'

7 No longer Thomas then denied; He saw the feet, the hands, the side ; 'Thou art my Lord and God,' he cried.

8 * Blessèd are they that have not seen, And yet whose faith hath constant been, In life eternal they shall reign.

9 * On this most holy day of days, To God your hearts and voices raise In laud, and jubilee, and praise.

10*. And we with Holy Church unite, As evermore is just and right, In glory to the King of Light.

Trusting in thy promise sure :

May she, safe from error's ways,

Toil for thine eternal praise :

Warning of a judgement near,

Telling of a Saviour dear :

6 All her ruined works repair,

Build again thy temple fair,

Manifest thy presence there :

7 All her fettered powers release,

Bid our strife and envy cease,

Grant the heavenly gift of peace :

8 May she one in doctrine be,

One in truth and charity,

Winning all to faith in thee :

Seek the lost until she find,

And the broken-hearted bind :

Make her watchmen strong and bold,

Fence her round, thy peaceful fold :

THE STORY OF THE CROSS.

9 On the Cross lifted up, Thy face I scan, Scarred by that agony - Son of Man.

10 Thorns form thy diadem, Rough wood thy throne, To thee thy outstretched arms Draw thine own.

11 Nails hold thy hands and feet, While on thy breast Sinketh thy bleeding head Sore opprest.

12 Loud is thy bitter cry, Rending the night, As to thy darkened eyes Fails the light.

I, Daniel, prayed unto the Lord my God, and said, Hear, O our God, the prayer of thy servant : cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary ; and behold, O God, this thy people, who are called by thy name. C. Promise unto the Lord your God, and keep it ; all ye that are round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared : he shall refrain the spirit of princes ; and is wonderful among the kings of the earth.

710 Trinity xviii. Da pacem. Give peace, O Lord, to them that wait for thee, and let thy Prophets be found faithful : regard the prayers of thy servant, and of thy people Israel. Ps. I was glad when they said unto me : We will go into the house of the Lord.

G. I was glad when they said unto me : we will go into the house of the Lord. V. Peace be within thy walls : and plenteousness within thy palaces. A. Alleluya. V. I was glad when they said unto me : we will go into the altar of the Lord, offering Moses consecrated an altar unto the Lord, offering burnt offerings upon it, and sacrificing peace offerings : and he made an evening sacrifice for a sweet-smelling savour unto the Lord God, in the sight of the children of Israel. C. Bring offerings and come into his courts : O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.

711 Trinity xix. Salus populi. I am the Lord God : out of whatsoever tribulation they shall pray to me, I will surely help them : and I will be their God for ever and ever. Ps. Hear my law, O my people : incline your ears unto the words of my mouth.

G. Let my prayer be set forth in thy sight : O Lord, as the incense. V. And let the lifting up of my hands be an evening sacrifice. A. Alleluya. V. They that put their trust in the Lord shall be even as the Mount Sion : he who dwelleth in Jerusalem may not 579

THE HOLY COMMUNION

743

Agnus Dei

O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, grant them rest.

O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, grant them rest everlasting.

RUSSIAN CONTAKION OF THE DEPARTED.

Со святыми упокой, Христе

(Μετὰ τῶν ἁγίων ἀνάπαυσον, Χριστὲ).

744

Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant with thy Saints - where sorrow and pain are no more; neither sighing, but life everlasting.

Thou only art immortal, the Creator and Maker of man : and we are mortal, formed of the earth, and unto earth shall we return : for so thou didst ordain, when thou createdst me, saying, Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

All we go down to the dust; and, weeping o'er the grave, we make our song : alleluya, alleluya, alleluya.

Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant with thy Saints, where sorrow and pain are no more; neither sighing, but life everlasting.
