Page 22 - Oh, what a heart-subduing melody! ANGEL My work is done, My task is o'er, And so I come, Taking it home, For the crown is won, Alleluia, For evermore. My Father gave In charge to me This child of earth E'en from its birth, To serve and save, Alleluia, And saved is he.
Page 16 - ... thee! Go, in the name Of Angels and Archangels; in the name Of Thrones and Dominations; in the name Of Princedoms and of Powers; and in the name Of Cherubim and Seraphim, go forth! Go, in the name of Patriarchs and Prophets; And of Apostles and Evangelists, Of Martyrs and Confessors; in the name Of holy Monks and Hermits; in the name Of Holy Virgins; and all Saints of God, Both men and women, go! Go on thy course; And may thy place to-day be found in peace, And may thy dwelling be the Holy Mount...
Page 16 - Go forth upon thy journey, Christian soul! Go from this world! Go, in the name of God The omnipotent Father, who created thee! Go, in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Son of the living God, who bled for thee! Go, in the name of the Holy Spirit, who Hath been...
