HYMN AS SACRAMENT IS REPOSED NEH 219

Let our choirs new anthems raise,

Bright the morn with gladness,

When God turned to joy and praise

All his servants’ sadness:

This the day that won their crown,

Opened heaven’s wide portal;

They, mortality laid down,

Entered life immortal.

2. Now they stand before the throne

Clothed in robes of splendour,

Death and torment overthrown

Praise to God they render;

Praise alike to Christ their King

From their lips is sounding,

As they adoration bring

For his grace abounding.

3. Let us then due honour pay,

As we raise our voices,

For the saints in whom today

All the Church rejoices;

Let God’s people here below

Still recount their story,

How they fought against the foe

For the Saviour’s glory.

HYMN FOR EXPOSITION

O saving Victim, open wide

The gate of heaven to man below;

Our foes press on from every side;

Thine aid supply; thy strength bestow.

All praise and thanks to thee ascend

For evermore, blest One in Three;

O grant us life that shall not end

In our true native land with thee.

Amen.

HYMN OF ADORATION

Therefore we, before him bending,

This great Sacrament revere;

Types and shadows have their ending,

For the newer rite is here;

Faith, our outward sense befriending,

Makes our inward vision clear.

Glory let us give, and blessing

To the Father and the Son,

Honour, might and praise addressing,

While eternal ages run;

Ever too his love confessing,

Who from Both with Both is One.

Amen.

THE DIVINE PRAISES

Blessed be God.

Blessed be his Holy Name.

Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true Man.

Blessed be the Name of Jesus.

Blessed be his Most Sacred Heart.

Blessed be his Most Precious Blood.

Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.

Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete.

Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary most Holy.

Blessed be her Holy and Immaculate Conception.

PREPARATION FOR BENEDICTION NEH 381

Jerusalem the golden,

With milk and honey blest,

Beneath thy contemplation

Sink heart and voice oppressed.

I know not, O I know not,

What social joys are there,

What radiancy of glory,

What bliss beyond compare.

2. They stand, those halls of Zion,

Conjubilant with song,

And bright with many an angel,

And all the martyr throng;

The Prince is ever in them,

The daylight is serene.

The pastures of the blessed

Are decked in glorious sheen.

3. There is the throne of David,

And there, from care released,

The song of them that triumph,

The shout 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.

4. O sweet and blessèd country,

Shall I ever see thy face?

O sweet and blessèd country,

Shall I ever win thy grace?

Exult, O dust and ashes!

The Lord shall be thy part:

His only, his for ever

thou shalt be, and thou art!

Father, in whom thy saints are one,

Bought thy the blood of thy dear Son,

We praise thee for thy hallowing grace

In those who now behold thy face.

2. For they have gained eternal rest,

And in the heavenly mansions blest

They dwell among the angelic throng,

And hear the one unending son.

The heavenly splendour now behold;

The Baptist, herald of thy Son,

Enjoys the fruit of labour done.

The Mother, at her Son’s right hand,

Adores the Saviour’s endless love,

In that eternal home above.

While all who’ve run their earthly race

In one glad company rejoice

To hear the heavenly bridegroom’s voice.

Keep us for ever in the way

That leads us to the heavenly rest

Among the glories of the blest.
