Sine tuo numine, Nihil est in homine, Nihil est innoxium. Lava quod est sordidum, Riga quod est aridum, Sana quod est saucium. Flecte quod est rigidum, Fove quod est frigidum, Rege quod est devium. Da tuis fidelibus, In te confitentibus, Sacrum septenarium. Da virtutis meritum, Da salutis exitum, Da perenne gaudium. Without thy Godhead nothing can Have any price or worth in man: Nothing can harmless be. Lord, wash our sinful stains away, Water from heav'n our barren clay, Our wounds and bruises heal. To thy sweet yoke our stiff necks bow, Warm with thy fire our hearts of snow, Our wand'ring feet repeal. O grant thy faithful, dearest Lord, Whose only hope is thy sure word, The seven gifts of thy spirit. Grant us in life t'obey For the ASSUMPTION of the B. Virgin. V. Exaltata est sancta Dei genitrix. R. Super chorus angeorum ad cœlestia regna. V. The holy Mother of Christ is exalted. R. To the celestial kingdoms above the choirs of angels. Hymn for the Feast of the Sacred Heart. COR, ARCA. COR, Arca legem conti nens Non servitutis veteris, Sed gratiæ, sed veniæ, Sed et misericordiæ. Te vulneratum caritas Ictu patenti voluit, Ut veneremur vulnera. Quis non amantem redamet? Quis non redemptus diligat, Et Corde in isto feligat Æterna tabernacula ? Decus Parenti et Filio, Sanctoque sit Spiritui, Quibus potestas gloria, Regnumque in omne est sæculum. V. Haurietis aquas in gaudio. Alleluia. O SACRED Ark, bless'd heart of Jesus meek! In thee the law of grace, of peace, we seek. More holy far, than Ark that did contain A law of rigour, slavery, and pain. For mortal's woes thy loving heart hath bled, For sinner's wounds its healing influence shed. Thy Father's glory hath thy heart all fir'd, To justice, love, a sacrifice expir'd. Who shall refuse to thee the debt of love? Who that's redeem'd but shall look above, To find in thy bless'd heart a place of rest From earthly cares, amid the just, the bless'd? Glory and praise to the Father, and the Son, To the Holy Ghost, to the Three in One. To whom may power, honour, ever be, On earth, in heaven, thro' all eternity. Amen. V. You shall draw wa ters with joy. Alleluia. R. De fontibus Salva Loris. Alleluia. R. Out of the Saviour's fountains. Alleluia. The Thanksgiving HYMN, TE DEUM. Te Deum laudamus: Te Dominum confitemur. Tibi omnes angeli, tibi cœli et universæ potestates, Te Prophetarum laudabilis numerus; Te per orbem terrarum, sancta confitetur ecclesia, Venerandum tuum verum, et unicum Filium; Tu Rex gloriæ Christe: Tu Patris, Sempiternus es Filius. Tu ad liberandum suscepturus hominem, non horruisti virginis uterum: Tu devicto mortis aculeo, aperuisti credentibus regna cœlorum. Tu ad dextram Dei sedes: in gloria Patris. Te ergo, quæsumus, tuis famulis subveni, quos pre tioso sanguine redemisti. Æterna fac cum sanctis tuis in gloria numerari. Salvum fac populum tuum, Domine : et benedic hæreditati tuæ. Et rege eos, et extolle illos usque in æternum. Et laudamus nomen tuum in sæculum : et in sæculum sæculi. Dignare Domine, die isto: sine peccato nos custodire. Miserere nostri, Domine: miserere nosu... Fiat misericordia tua, Domine, super nos, quemadmodum speravimus in te. In te Domine speravi: non confundar in æternum. V. Benedicamus Patrem et Filium, cum Sancto Spiritu. R. Laudemus et superexaltemus eum in sæcula Paraphrastical Translation of TE DEUM. And thrice returning echoes, endless songs supply. The Son, ador'd copartner of thy seat, Thou King of Glory, Christ of the Most High, Thou, who, to save the world's impending doom, |
