But the pains which he endured
Our salvation hath procured;
Now above the sky he's King,
Where the angels ever sing,

C

Hallelujah.

WHITSUNDAY.

TALLIS, HANDEL, ATWOOD.

OME, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,
And lighten with celestial fire.

Thou the anointing Spirit art,

Who dost thy sev'nfold gifts impart :
Thy blessed unction from above
Is comfort, life, and fire of love.
Enable with perpetual light
The dulness of our blinded sight:
Anoint and cheer our soiled face
With the abundance of thy grace:
Keep far our foes, give peace at home;
Where thou art guide, no ill can come.
Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And thee, of both, to be but One;
That through the ages all along
This may be our endless song;
Praise to thy eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

TRINITY SUNDAY.

N humble faith and holy love

IN

DR. CHARD.

The song of saints and martyrs sing;

That incense which to God above,

Blest angels and archangels bring.

Three mystic rays in glory shine

From the tremendous Godhead's throne; These in one source doth faith combine; In three we praise one God alone.

To heaven's Father raise the voice,
Invisible, immortal King;
In the Redeemer's strength rejoice,
To the sacred Spirit sing.

Duet.

In this sad vale of tears below,

Our anchor this of faith and love--
Chorus.

Till God his vision shall bestow

In Christ's triumphant church above.

The words by REV. T. RENNELL, D. D. formerly Master of the Temple.

HYMNUS EUCHARISTICUS.

TH

E Deum Patrem colimus,
Te laudibus prosequimur,
Qui corpus cibo reficis
Celesti mentem gratiâ.
Te adoremus, O Jesu,
Te fili unigenite,

Te qui non dedignatus es
Subire claustra Virginis.

Actus in crucem, factus es
Irato Deo victima,

Per te, Salvator unice,
Vitæ spes nobis rediit,

Tibi æterne Spiritus,
Cujus afflatu peperit
Infantem Deum Maria,
Æternum benedicimus.

Triune Deus, hominem
Salutis auctor optime
Immensum hoc mysterium
Ovante linguâ canimus.

This Hymn is sung annually, at 5 o'clock A. M., on the 1st of May, by the Choir of St. Mary Magdalen College, Oxford, upon the top of the Tower, in lieu of a Requiem which, before the Reformation, was performed in the same place for the soul of Henry VII. The Rectory of Slimbridge, in Gloucestershire, is charged with the annual payment of £10 for the performance of this service.

EUCHARISTIC HYMN.

TRANSLATION OF THE PRECEDING.

ATHER and God, we worship Thee,

And praise and bless, on bended knee: With food Thou'rt to our bodies kind, With heavenly grace dost cheer the mind.

O Jesus, only Son of God!

Thee we adore, and praise, and laud:
Thy love did not disdain the gloom
Of a pure Virgin's holy womb:

Nail'd to the cross, a victim made,
On Thee the wrath of God was laid:
Our only Saviour, now by Thee
Immortal life we hope to see.

To Thee, Eternal Spirit, rise

Unceasing praise, from earth and skies:
Thy breath awoke the heavenly Child,
And gave
Him to His mother mild.

To Thee, the Triune God, be paid,
To Thee, who our redemption made,
All honour, thanks, and praise divine,
For this great mystery of Thine!

EUCHARISTIC HYMN.

BISHOP HEBER,

LEAL MOREIRA.

B

READ of the world, in mercy broken,
Wine of the soul in mercy shed!
By whom the words of life were spoken,
And in whose death our sins are dead.
Look on the heart by sorrow broken,
Look on the Tears by sinners shed,
And be Thy feast to us the token
That by Thy grace our souls are fed.
Adapted by V. Novello.
