N the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.

PRE

Let us pray.

REVENT us, O Lord, in all our doings with Thy most gracious favour, and further us with Thy continual help, that in all our works begun, continued, and ended in Thee, we may glorify Thy Holy Name, and finally by Thy mercy obtain everlasting Life; through JESUS Christ our Lord. Amen.

GOD, Who hast prepared for them that love Thee, such good things as pass man's understanding; Pour into our hearts such love towards Thee, that we loving Thee above all things may obtain Thy promises, which exceed all that we can desire; through JESUS Christ our Lord. Amen.

[ocr errors]

GOD, Who in This wonderful Sacrament hast left unto us a Memorial of Thy Passion; Grant to us, we beseech Thee, so to venerate the Sacred Mysteries of Thy Body and Blood, that we may always perceive in ourselves the fruit of Thy Redemption, Who livest and reignest, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, ever One God, world without end. Amen.

V. The eyes of all wait upon Thee, O Lord:

Ry. And Thou givest them their Meat in due

season.

Then shall be sung the Litany of the Blessed
Sacrament.

(The verses placed within brackets may be omitted, some at one time, and some at another, if it be thought desirable to shorten the Litany.)

I GOD the Father, God the Word,
God the Holy Ghost adored,
Blessed Trinity, One Lord;
Spare us, Holy Trinity.

2 Bread of Life, the Angels' Food,
Cup of Blessing, Precious Blood,
Poured for man upon the Rood;
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

3 Purest Victim, Stainless Priest,
Thou the Host, and Thou the Feast,
Shared by greatest and by least;
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

[4 Spotless Lamb of God most High,

Manna coming from the sky,
To Thy people ever nigh;
Hear us, Holy Jesu.]

5 Offering of perfect might,

Wine, which givest true delight,
Bond, Thy faithful to unite;
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

[6 Shewbread in God's Holy Place,
Fount of all-redeeming Grace,
Strength of them that run the race;
Hear us, Holy Jesu.]
