Be merciful unto us,

Lord Jesus.

From all evil,

From all sin,

From thy wrath,

From the snares of the devil,
From the spirit of uncleannness,
From everlasting death ,

From the neglect of thy holy inspirations,

Through the mystery of thy most holy incarnation,

Through thy nativity,
Through thy divine infancy,
Through thy sacred life

[ocr errors]

Through thy labours and travels,
Thro' thy agony and bloody

sweat,

Lord Jesus deliver us.

Through thy cross and passion,
Through thy pains and torments,
Through thy death and burial,
Through thy glorious resurrection,
Through thy admirable ascension,
Through thy joys and glory,

In the day of judgment, Lord Jesus
O iv

deliver us.

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, spare us, O Lord Jesus.

Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, hear us, O Lord Jesus. Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy on us, O Lord Jesus.

Christ Jesus, hear us, Christ Jesus, graciously hear us.

Let us pray.

Lord Jesus Christ, who hast said, ask, and you shall receive, seek, and you shall find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you; grant we beseech thee, to our most humble supplications, the gift of thy divine love, that we may ever love thee with our whole hearts > and never cease from praising and glrifying thy name.

Divine Redeemer, give us a perpetual fear and love of thy holy name, for thou never ceasest to direct and govern by thy grace those whom thou instructest in the solidity of thy love, who livest and reignest, world without end. Amen.

God, who hast appointed thy only begotten Son, the Saviour of mankind, and hast commanded that he should be called Jesus; mercifully grant that we may enjoy his happy vision in heaven whose holy Name we venerate upon earth: Thro' the same: Lord Jesus Christ, thy Son, who with thee and the Holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth, one God, world without end. Amen..

A HYMN TO OUR SAVIOUR

JESUS.

Abridged from St. Bernard.

Jesu dulcis memoria.

JEsus, the only thought, of thee,

With sweetness fills my breast;

But sweeter far it is to see,

And on thy beauty feast.

No sound, nor harmony so gay,

Can art or music frame;

No thoughts can reach, nor words can.

say

The sweets of thy blest name.

Q V

Jesuss

Jesus, our hope, when we repent,
Sweet source of all our grace;
Sole comfort in our banishment
Oh! what, when face to face!
Jesus! that name inspires my mind
With springs of life and light;
More than I ask in thee I find
And lavish in delight.

No art, no eloquence of man
Can tell the joys of love;
Only the saints can understand
What they in Jesus prove.
Thee then I'll seek retir'd apart
From world and business free ;

[ocr errors]

When these shall knock, I'll shut my heart,

And keep it all for thee.

Before the morning light I'll come,
With Magdalen, to find

3

In sighs and tears, my Jesu's tomb,
And there refresh my mind.

My tears upon his grave shall flow,
My sighs the garden fill;

Then at his feet myself i'll throw,
And there I'll seek his will.
Jesus, in thy bless disteps I tread,
And walk in all thy ways;

I'll never cease to weep and plead,
Till I'm restor’d to grace,

O King of Love, thy blessed fire
Does such sweet flames excite;
That first it raises the desire,
Then fills it with delight.
Thy lovely presence shines so clear
Thro' every sense and way,

That souls who once have seen thee:

near,

See all things else decay.

Come then, dear Lord, possess my heart, Chase thence the shades of night;" Come pierce it with thy flaming dart And over-shining light:

Then I'll for ever Jesus sing,

And with the saints rejoice;

[ocr errors]

And both my heart and tongue shall bring

Their tribute to my dearest King,
In never-ending joys. Amen..

The Hymn, Ave maris Stella.

B.Right mother of our maker, hail!

Thou virgin ever bless'd;

The ocean's star, by which we sail
And gain the port of rest.
