Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would His favour secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Amen. " TJie Lord God Omnipotent reigneth." 42 Hark! the song of jubilee, Loud as mighty thunders roar ; Or the fulness of the sea. When it breaks upon the shore.

He shall reign from pole to pole With illimitable sway : He shall reign, when, like a scroll, Yonder heavens have pass'd away; Then the end ; beneath His rod, Man's last enemy shall fall ; Alleluia! Christ in God, God in Christ, is all in all. Amen. " When they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy." 45 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold ; As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright ; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger-bed ; There to bend the knee before Him Whom heaven and earth adore ; So may we with willing feet Ever seek the mercy-seat. 18 As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare ; So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ ! to Thee our heavenly King. Holy Jesus ! every day Keep us in the narrow way: And when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. In the heavenly country bright, Need they no created light ; Thou its Light,. its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down, There forever may we sing Alleluias to our King. Amen. " And Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days He did eat nothing." 49 Forty days and forty nights Thou wast fasting in the wild; Forty days and forty nights Tempted, and yet undefiled. Shall not we Thy sorrow share, And from earthly joys abstain, 19 Fa-ting with unceasing prayer, Glad with Thee to suffer pain ? And if Satan, vexing sore, Flesh or spirit should assail, Thou, his Vanquisher before, Grant we may not faint or fail. So shall we have peace divine ; Holier gladness ours shall be ; Round us, too, shall angels shine, Such as minister'd to Thee. Keep, keep us, Saviour dear, Ever constant by Thy side ; That with Thee we may appear At th' eternal Eastertide. Amen. In that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He u able to succour them that are tempted." 53 Saviour, when in dust to Thee, Low we bow th' adoring knee ; When, repentant, to the skies Scarce we lift our streaming eyes ; O by all Thy pains and woe, Suffer d once for man below, Bending from Thy throne on high, Hear our solemn litany. By Thy birth and early years, By Thy human griefs and fears, 20 By Thy fasting and distress In the lonely wilderness, By Thy victory in the hour Of the subtle tempter's power; Jesus, look with pitying eye ; Hear our solemn litany. By Thine hour of dark despair, By Thine agony of prayer, By the purple robe of scorn, By Thy wounds, Thy crown of thorn ; By Thy cross, Thy pangs, and cries, By Thy perfect sacrifice ; Jesus, look with pitying eye; Hear our solemn litany. By Thy deep expiring groan, By the seal'd sepulchral stone, By Thy triumph o'er the grave, By Thy power from death to save ; Mighty God, ascended Lord, To Thy throne in heaven restored, Prince and Saviour, hear our cry, Hear our solemn litany. Amen. " My soul fleeth unto the LordP 63 Lord, in this Thy mercy's day, Ere the time shall pass away, On our knees we fall and pray. 21 Holy Jesu, grant us tears, Fill'iis with heart-searching fears, Ere the hour of doom appears. Lord, on us Thy Spirit pour, Kneeling lowly at the door, Ere it close for evermore. By Thy night of agony, By Thy supplicating cry. By Thy willingness to die, By Thy tears of bitter woe For Jerusalem below, Let us not Thy love forego. Judge and Saviour of our race, When we see Thee face to face, Grant us 'neath Thy wings a place. Amen. " In Wlwm we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins." 67 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin, I look at heaven and long to enter in, But there no evil thing may find a home : And yet I hear a voice that bids me " Come." So rile I am, how dare I hope to stand In the pure glory of that holy land ? Before the whiteness of that Throne appear ? Yet there are Hands stretched out to draw me near. 22 The while I fain would tread the heavenly ' way, Evil is ever with me, day by day ; Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall, u Kepent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from • all." It is the voice of Jesus that I hear, His are the Hands stretched out to draw me near. And His the Blood that can for all atone, And set me faultless there before the Throne. 'Twas He Who found me on the deathly wild. And made me heir of heaven, the Fathers child, And day by day, whereby my soul may live, Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give. Yea, thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord : Thine all the merits, mine the great reward ; Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown. Mine the life won, and Thine the life laid down. Amen. "Whom resist, steadfast in the faith" 68 Christian, dost thou see them On the holy ground, How the troops of Midian Prowl and prowl around? 23 Christian, up and smite them, Counting gain but loss ; Smite them by the merit Of the holy Cross. Christian, dost thou feel them, How they work within, Striving, tempting, luring, Goading into sin ? Christian, never tremble ; Never be down-cast; Smite them by the virtue Of the Lenten fast. Christian, dost thou hear them, How they speak thee fair ? " Always fast and vigil ? Always watch and prayer f Christian, answer boldly, M While I breathe I pray :" Peace shall follow battle, Xight shall end in day.

Abel's blood for vengeance Pleaded to the skies ; But the Blood of Jesus For our pardon cries. Oft as earth exulting Wafts its praise on high. Angel-hosts, rejoicing. Make their glad reply. Lift ye then your voices : Swell the mighty flood ; Louder still and louder, Praise the precious Blood. Amen. 26 "He was wounded for our transgressions." 75 Now, my soul, thy voice upraising, Tell, in sweet and mournful strain, How the Crucified, enduring Grief, and wounds, and dying pain, "Freely of His love was offered, Sinless was for sinners slain. Scourged with unrelenting fury For the sins which we deplore, By His livid stripes He heals us, Eaising us to fall no more ; All our bruises gently soothing, Binding up the bleeding sore. See ! His Hands and Feet are fastened ; So He makes His people free : Not a wound whence blood is flowing But a fount of grace shall be ; Yea, the very nails which nail Him Nail us also to the tree. Through His Heart the spear is piercing, Though His foes have seen Him die ; Blood and water thence are streaming In a tide of mystery, Water from our guilt to cleanse us, Blood to win us crowns on high. Jesu, may these precious fountains Drink to thirsting souls afford ; 27 Let them be our cup and healing, And at length our full reward; So a ransomed world shall ever Praise Thee, its redeeming Lord. Amen. " Behold the Lpmb of God, which takeih away the nn> of the icorld" 80 Behold the Lamb of God !

All hail, Incarnate Word, Thou everlasting Lord, Saviour most blest ; Fill us with love that never faints, Grant us, with all Thy blessed saints, Eternal rest. 28 Behold the Lamb of God!

Alleluia cannot always Be our song while here below ; Alleluia our transgressions Make us for a while forego : For the solemn time is coming When our tears for sin must flow. Therefore in our hymns we pray Thee, Grant us, Blessed Trinity, At the last to keep Thine Easter In our Home beyond the sky ; There to Thee forever singing Alleluia joyfully.

With His Seraph train before Him, With His Holy Church below, Thus conspire we to adore Him, Bid we thus our anthem flow : " Lord, Thy glory fills the Heaven, Earth is with Thy fulness stored; Unto Thee be glory given, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord." Thus Thy glorious Name confessing, We adopt Thv angels' cry, " Holy, Holy, Holy," blessing Thee, the Lord of hosts most High. Amen. .

The Holy City shall take up your strain, And with glad songs resounding wake again An endless Alleluia. Ill In blissful antiphons ye thus rejoice To render to the Lord with thankful voice An endless Alleluia. Ye who have gained at length your palms in bliss, Victorious ones, your chant shall still be this, An endless Alleluia.

" Put on the whole armour of God.'' 1 434 Jesus, my strength, my hope, On Thee I cast my care, With humble confidence look up. And know Thou hearst my prayer: 112 Give me on Thee to wait, Till I can all things do — On Thee, almighty to create, Almighty to renew. Give me a sober mind, A self-renouncing will, That tramples down and casts behind The baits of pleasing ill : A soul inured to pain, To hardship, grief, and loss ; Ready to take up and sustain The consecrated cross. Give me a godly fear, - A quick, discerning eye, That looks to Thee when sin is near, And sees the tempter fly ; A spirit still prepared, And arnfd with jealous care, For ever standing on its guard, And watching unto prayer. Give me a true regard, A single, steady aim, Unmoved by threatening or reward, To Thee and Thy great Name ; Give me a heart to pray, To pray and never cease, Never to murmur at Thy stay, Or wish my sufferings less. 113 I rest upon Thy word, The promise is for me ; My succour and salvation. Lord, Shall surely come from Thee ; But let me still abide, Nor from my hope remove. Till Thou my patient spirit guide Into Thy perfect love. Amen. " / hare prayed for ihtt that thy faith fail not." 443 In the hour of trial, Jesas, plead for me; Lest by base denial I depart from Thee ; When Thou Bee'st me waver, With a look recall, Nor for fear or favour Suffer me to fall. With forbidden pleasures Would this vain world charm ; Or its sordid treasures Spread to work me harm ; Bring to my remembrance Saa Gethsemane, Or, in darker semblance, Crosa-crown'd Calvary. Should Thy mercy send me Sorrow, toil, and woe ; Or should pain attend me On my path below ; 114 Grant that I may never Fail Thy hand to see ; Grant that I may ever Cast my care on Thee. When my last hour cometh, Fraught with strife and pain, When my dust returneth To the dust again ; On Thy truth relying, Through that mortal strife, Jesus, take me, dying, To eternal life. Amen. " That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith } 455 Jesu, the very thought of Thee With sweetness fills the breast But sweeter far Thy face to see, And in Thy presence rest. ~No voice can sing, no heart can frame, Nor can the memory find, A sweeter sound than Jesu's name, The Saviour of mankind. hope of every contrite heart, joy of all the meek, To those who fall, how kind Thou art!

Let us all in Thee inherit, Let us find Thy promised rest ; Take away the love of sinning, Alpha and Omega be, — End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. Come, Almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy grace receive ; Suddenly return, and never, Xever more Thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing; Serve Thee as thy hosts above ; Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing : Glory in Thy perfect love. 116 Finish then Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be : Let us see Thy great salvation, Perfectly restored in Thee. Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place : Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Amen. "I icitt fove Thee, Lord my strength." 461 Thee will I love, my strength, my tower, Thee will I love, my joy, my crown ; Thee will I love with all my power, In all my works, and Thee alone : Thee will I love, till sacred fire Fill my whole soul with pure desire. I thank thee, uncreated Sun, That Thy bright beams on me have shined: I thank Thee, who hast overthrown My foes, and healed my wounded mind ; I thank Thee, whose enlivening voice Bids my freed heart in Thee rejoice.

Since, with pure and firm affection, Thou on God hast set thy love, 120 With the wings of His protection He will shield thee from above.

Know ye not your Captain's power ? Let your drooping hearts be glad : March in heavenly armour clad : Fight, nor think the battle long, Soon shall victory wake your song.

See fulfill'd the prophets' warning, Heaven and earth in ashes burning! what fear man's bosom rendeth, When from heaven the Judge descendeth. On Whose sentence all dependeth ! Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth : Through earth's sepulchres it ringeth ; All before the Throne it bringetk. 124 Death is struck, and nature quaking. All creation is awaking, To its Judge an answer making. Lo ! the Book exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded : Thence shall judgment be awarded. When the Judge His seat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unavenged remaineth. What shall I, frail man, be pleading ? Who for me be interceding, When the just are mercy needing? King of Majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity ! then befriend us ! Think, good Jesu, my salvation Cost Thy wondrous Incarnation ; Leave me not to reprobation ! Faint and weary Thou hast sought me, On the Cross of suffering bought me. Shall such grace be vainly brought me ? Eighteous Judge ! for sin's pollution Grant Thy gift of absolution, Ere that day of retribution. Guilty, now I pour my moaning, All my shame with anguish owning ; Spare, God, Thy suppliant groaning. 125 Thou the sinful woman savedst ; Thou the dying thief forgavest ; And to me a hope vouchsafest. Worthless are my prayers and sighing, Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, Rescue me from fires undying! With thy favoured sheep place me ! Nor among the goats abase me ; But to Thy right hand upraise me. While the wicked are confounded, Doomed to flames of woe unbounded, Call me, with Thy saints surrounded. Low I kneel with heart-submission, See, like ashes, my contrition ; Help me in my last condition. Ah ! that day of tears and mourning ! From the dust of earth returning, Man for judgment must prepare him ; Spare, God, in mercy spare him ! Lord, all pitying, Jesu blest, Grant us Thine eternal rest. Amen.

Angels, etc. Rest comes at length, though life be long and dreary, The day must dawn, and darksome night be past ; Faith's journey ends in welcome to the weary, And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last.

The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene ; The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen. There is the throne of David ; And there, from care released, The shout of them that triumph, The song of them that feast. And they, who with their Leader, Have conquered in the fight, For ever and for ever Are clad in robes of white.

I need Thee, Precious Jesu, I need a 'friend like Thee, A friend to soothe and pity, A friend to care for me : I need the Heart of Jesus To feel each anxious care, To tell my every trial, And all my sorrows share. I need Thee, Precious Jesu, I need Thee, day by day, To fill me with Thy fulness, To lead me on my way ; I need Thy Holy Spirit To teach me what I am, To show me more of Jesus, To point me to the Lamb. I need Thee, Precious Jesu, And hope to see Thee soon Encircled with the rainbow, And seated an Thy throne • There, with Thy Blood-bought children, B£y joy shall ever be, To sing Thy praises, Jesu, To gaze, my Lord, on Thee. Amen. 528 D. C. M. I heard the voice of Jesus say, " Come unto Me and rest ; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon My breast : " I came to Jesus as I was. Weary, worn, and sad ; I found in Him a resting-place, And He has made me glad. I heard the voice of Jesus say, " Behold, 1 freely give The living water, thirsty one, Stoop down, and drink, and live:" I, came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream ; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, 4nd now I live in Him.

Hear me, West Saviour, when I call ; Hear me, and from Thy dwelling-place Pour down the riches of Thy grace ; Jesu, my Lord, I Thee adore, make me love Thee more and more. Jesu, too late I Thee have sought, How can I love Thee as I ought ? And how extol Thy matchless fame, The glorious beauty of Thy Name ? Jesu, my Lord, etc. Jesu, what didst Thou find in me, That Thou hast dealt so lovingly ? How great the joy that Thou hast brought, So far exceeding hope or thought!

To the Name of our Salvation Laud and honour let us pay ; 149 Which for many a generation Hid in God's foreknowledge lav, Bur with holy exultation We may sing aloud to-day. Jesus is the Xame we treasure : Name beyond what words can tell ; Xame of gladness, Xame of pleasure, Ear and heart delighting well : Xame of sweetness, passing measure, Saving us from sin and hell. Tis the Xame that whoso preacheth Speaks like music to the ear ; Who in prayer this Xame beseecheth Sweetest comfort findeth near: Who its perfect wisdom reacheth Heavenly joy possesseth here. Jesus is the Xame exalted Over every other name ; In this Xame, whene'er assaulted, We can put our foes to shame ; Strength to them who else had halted, Eyes to blind, and feet to lame. Therefore we in love adoring This most blessed Xame revere ; Holy Jesu, Thee imploring So to write it in us here. That hereafter heavenward soaring We may sing with angels there. Amen. 150 631 6 of 8.

Come, ye faithful, raise the anthem, Cleave the skies with shouts of praise; Sing to Him who found the ransom, Ancient of eternal days, God of God, the Word Incarnate Whom the heaven of heaven obeys. Ere He raised the lofty mountains, Formed the seas, or built the sky, Love eternal, free and boundless, Moved the Lord of Life to die, Foreordained the Prince of princes For the throne of Calvary. There for us and our redemption, See Him all His life-blood pour ! There He wins our full salvation, Dies that we may die no more : Then, arising, lives for ever, Eeigning where He was before. High on yon celestial mountains Stands His gem-built throne, all bright, Midst unending Alleluias Bursting from the sons of light; 153 Siorrs people tell His praises, Victor after hard-won fight. Bring your harps, and bring your odours, Sweep the string and pour the lay ; Let the earth proclaim His wonders, King of that celestial day ; He the Lamb once slain is worthy. Who was dead and lives for aye. Laud and honour to the Father, Laud and honour to the Son, Laud and honour to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One, Consul istantial, Co-eternal, While unending a^es run.

Take up thy cross, and follow Christ, Nor think till death to lay it down ; For ©nly he who bears the cross May hope to wear the glorious crown. Amen. 539 D. C. M. The roseate hues of early dawn, The brightness of the day, The crimson of the sunset sky, How fast they fade away ! for the pearly gates of heaven, for the golden floor, for the Sun of Kighteousness That setteth nevermore ! The highest hopes we cherish here, How fast they tire and faint ; How many a spot defiles the robe That wraps an earthly Saint ! for a heart that never sins, for a soul washed white, 159 for a voice to praise our King, Nor weary day nor night ! Here faith is ours, and heavenly hope, And grace to lead us higher ; But there are perfectness, and peace, Beyond our best desire. by thy love and anguish, Lord, And by Thy life laid down. Grant that we fall not from Thy grace, Xor cast away our crown. Amen. 540 4 of 10.

Thou within the veil hast entered, Eobed in flesh, our great High Priest ; Thou on earth both Priest and Victim In the Eucharistic feast.

At the Cross her station keeping, Stood the mournful Mother weeping, Where He hung, the dying Lord; For her soul, of joy bereaved. Bowed with anguish, deeply grieved, Felt the sharp and piercing sword. Oh, how sad and sore distressed Now was she, that Mother blessed Of the sole-begotten One ; Deep the woe of her affliction When she saw the Crucifixion Of her ever-glorious Son. Who, on Christ's dear Mother gazing, Pierced by anguish so amazing, Born of woman, would not weep ? Who, on Christ's dear Mother thinking, Such a cup of sorrow drinking, Would not share her sorrows deep ? 175 For His people's sins chastised, She beheld her ^on despised, Scourged, and crowned with thorns en- twined ; Saw Him then from judo-men t taken, And in death by all forsaken, Till His Spirit He resigned.

Rock of Ages ! pierced for me, The grave of all my pride ; Hope, peace, and heaven, are all in Thee, Thy sheltering Side. 17* There issued forth the double Flood, The sin-atoning tide. — In streams of water and of Blood From that dear Side. There is the only Fount of bliss, In joy and sorrow tried, — No refuge for the heart like this, — A Saviour's Side. Thither the Church through all her days Points as a faithful guide, And celebrates with ceaseless praise That spear-pierced Side. Amen. 560 8, 7, 8, 7, 7, 7, 4, 4, 7, 7 Of Thy love some gracious token Grant us, Lord, before we go ; Bless Thy word which has been spoken ; Life and peace on all bestow !

Let Thy mercies' morning dew Rouse our conscience from its blindness; Gladden life's dry plains anew With the rivers of Thy kindness ; Water daily us Thy Flock From the Rock. Let the glow of love destroy Cold obedience faintly given, Wake our hearts to love and joy With the flushing eastern heaven; Let us truly rise ere yet Life hath set. Brightest Star of eastern skies ! Grant that at Thy last appearing These frail bodies may arise. Joyfully Thy summons hearing, Strong their heavenward course to run As the Sun. 178 Through this dark and tearful place, Never be Thy light denied us ; O Thou glorious Sun of grace, To yon world of gladness guide us, When to joys that never end We ascend !
