Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.

I will teach the unjust thy ways: and the wicked shall be converted to thee.

Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation and my tongue shall extol thy justice,

O Lord, thou wilt open my lips and my mouth shall declare thy praise.

For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it; with burnt-offerings thou wilt not be delighted.

A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humble heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Deal favourable, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up. Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt-offerings: then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.

Hymns.

LAUDA, SION, SALVATOREM.

Lauda, Sion, Salvatorem,
Lauda ducem et pastorem,
In hymnis et canticis.
Quantum potes, tantum aude,
Quia major omni laude,
Nec laudare sufficis.

Laudis thema specialis,
Panis vivus et vitalis
Hodie proponitur.

Quem in sacræ mensa cœnæ
Turbæ fratrum duodena

Datum non ambigitur.

Sit laus plena, sit sonora,
Sit jucunda, sit decora,
Mentis jubilatio.

Dies enim solemnis agitur,
In qua mensæ prima recolitur
Hujus institutio.

In hac mensa novi Regis,
Novum Pascha novæ legis,
Phase vetus terminat.
Vetustatem novitas,
Umbram fugat veritas,

Noctem lux eliminat.

Quod in cœna Christus gessit,
Faciendum hoc expressit
In sui memoriam.
Docti sacris institutis,
Panem, vinum in salutis
Consecramus hostiam,

Dogma datur Christianis,
Quod in carnem transit panis,
Et vinum in sanguinem.
Quod non capis, quod non vides,
Animosa firmat fides,

Præter rerum ordinem.

Sub diversis speciebus,
Signis tantem et non rebus,
Latent res eximiæ.
Caro cibus, sanguis potus ;
Manet tamen Christus totus
Sub utraque specie.

A sumente non concisus,
Non confractus, non divisus,
Integer accipitur.

Sumit unus, sumunt mille:
Quantum iste, tantum ille :
Nec sumptus consumitur.

Sumunt boni, sumunt mali:
Sorte tamen inæquali,
Vitæ vel interitus.
Mors est malis, vita bonis :
Vide paris sumptionis

Quam sit dispar exitus.

Fracto demum Sacramento,
Ne vacilles sed memento,
Tantum esse sub fragmento,
Quantum toto tegitur.

Nulla rei fit scissura,
Signi tantum fit fractura,
Qua nec status, nec statura
Signati minuitur.

Ecce panis Angelorum,
Factus cibus viatorum:
Vere panis filiorum,

Non mittendus canibus,
In figuris præsignatur,
Cum Isaac immolatur :
Agnus Pachæ deputatur :
Datur manna patribus.

Bone pastor, panis vere,
Jesu nostri miserere :
Tu nos pasce, nos tuere :
Tu nos bona fac videre

In terra viventium.

Tu, qui cuncta scis et vales,
Qui nos pascis hic mortales :
Tuos ibi commensales,

Coheredes, et sodales,

Fac sanctorum civium.

Amen.

LAUDA, SION, SALVATOREM.

Laud, O Sion, thy Salvation;
Loud the anthem of laudation

To thy King, thy Shepherd, raise. What thou canst do, do it boldly, For thy best will praise but coldly Him who is above all praise.
