All praise and thanks to Thee ascend,
For evermore, Blest One in Three.
Oh, grant us life that shall not end,
In our true native land with Thee.

Amen.

WORSHIP Thee, Lord Jesu,
As children did of old,

Who sang within Thy temple
Hosannas manifold.

I worship Thee, Lord Jesu,
Who on Thine Altar laid
In this most awful service,
Our Food and Drink art made.

I worship Thee, Lord Jesu,

Who in Thy Love Divine, Art hiding here Thy Godhead 'Neath forms of Bread and Wine.

I worship Thee, Lord Jesu,
And kneeling unto Thee,
As Thou didst come to Mary,
I pray Thee come to me.

I worship Thee, Lord Jesu,
My King and Saviour mild,
Thou hast blest other children,
Bless also me Thy child. Amen.

JESU, Lord, remember
When Thou shalt come again,
Upon the clouds of Heaven,
With all Thy shining train,

When every eye shall see Thee
In Deity revealed,
Who here upon this Altar
In silence art concealed;

Remember then, O Saviour,
I supplicate of Thee,

That here I bowed before Thee
Upon my bended knee.

That here I owned Thy Presence,
And did not Thee deny ;
And glorified Thy greatness,
Though hid from human eye.

Accept, Divine Redeemer,
The homage of my praise:
Be Thou the light and honour
And glory of my days.

Be Thou my Consolation

When death is drawing nigh, Be Thou my only Treasure Through all eternity. Amen.

for

Hymn to be sung before the Gospel. ET all mortal flesh keep silence, and with fear and trembling stand; Ponder nothing earthly-minded, with Blessing in His Hand, Christ our God to earth descendeth, our full homage to demand.

King of kings, yet born of Mary as of old on earth He stood,

Lord of lords, in Human vesture in the Body and the Blood

He will give to all the Faithful His Own Self for Heavenly Food.

Rank on rank the Host of Heaven spreads its vanguard on the way, As the Light of Light descendeth from the realms of endless day,

That the Powers of Hell may vanish as the darkness clears away.

At His Feet the six-winged Seraph: Cherubim with sleepless eye

Veil their faces to the Presence, as with ceaseless voice they cry

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Lord Most High!

WEET Heart of Jesus, fount of love and mercy,

SY

To-day we come, Thy blessing to implore.

O touch our hearts, so cold and so ungrateful,

And make them, Lord Thine own for evermore.

Sweet Heart of Jesus, we Thee implore,

O make us love Thee more and

more.

Sweet Heart of Jesus, make us know and love Thee,

Unfold to us the treasures of Thy grace;

That so our hearts, from things of earth uplifted

May long alone to gaze upon Thy Face.

Sweet Heart of Jesus, we Thee implore,

O make us love Thee more and

more.

Sweet Heart of Jesus make us pure and gentle,

And teach us how to do Thy blessed will;

To follow close the prints of Thy dear footsteps

And when we fall Sweet Heart O love us still.

Sweet Heart of Jesus, we Thee implore,

O make us love Thee more and

more.

Sweet Heart of Jesus, bless all hearts that love Thee,

And may Thine Own Heart ever blessed be;

Bless us, dear Lord, and bless the friends we cherish,

And keep us true to Mary and to Thee.

Sweet Heart of Jesus, we Thee

implore,

O make us love Thee more and

LIG

more.

Light of the World (Elgar).

'TIGHT of the World, we know Thy praise

The angels and archangels raise
And all the host of Heaven

More worthily than our faint hymns,
Whose jarring sound that glory dims,
Which God to Thee has given.

But Thou didst not disdain to take
Our low estate, or e'en to make
Thy tomb Thy resting place;
So Thou might bring into our night
The dawn of Thine eternal light
To shine upon our face.

Nor death, nor hell, nor sin, is Lord,
But Thou, O Sun of God. Thy Word
Is now our sovereign law.

Therefore we thank Thee, and we pray Thy Light may shine unto the Perfect Day

On us for evermore.'
