Hail! Festal Day! Hail! ever sacred tide,
Wherein the Bridegroom weds the Church, His Bride.

1. This is the court of GOD; the craving mind
Here wealth of Solomon in peace may find.

2. Here David's Son, Who heav'n and earth doth span, In this our Mother home, is GOD and Man.

3. Ye have a harmony with heav'n above,
If but the faith be kept, the bond of love.
4. Here New Jerusalem, all pure and bright,
Descends from GOD, in bridal vesture dight.
5. The King of Righteousness, within this place,
From Heav'n bestows the font's baptismal grace.
6. 'Tis here the soul draws nigh to David's shrine,
Here finds the pledges mystical, divine.

7. This is the Ark of GOD, which goes before

Our steps, advancing on from shore to shore. 8. Here Jacob's ladder points the heavenly way; Here we ascend to life's eternal day.

2. Now with the LORD of new and Heavenly birth," His gifts return to grace the springing earth.

3. Now glows the year with painted flowers' array, And warmer light unbars the gates of day.

4. Now CHRIST from gloomy Hell comes triumphing; And field and grove with flowers and leafage spring. 5. The reign of Hell o'erthrown, He mounts on high; Sent forth with joyous praise from sea and sky. 6. Loose now the captives, loose the prison door, The fallen from the deep to light restore.

7. A countless people, from death's bondage freed, Own Thee Redeemer, following Thy lead.

8. Stainless and strong, and in Thine arms sustained, Bear them to GOD, an offspring purely gained. 9. One wreath be Thine, that of Thy labour comes, And one, that of Thy ransomed people blooms. 10. Creator and Redeemer, CHRIST our Light, The One begotten of the Father's might; II. Co-equal, co-eternal, Thou to Whom

The Kingdom of the world decreed shall come. 12. Thou, looking on our race in darkness laid, To rescue man, Thyself true man was made.

O JESU, Victim blest,

What else but love divine

Could Thee constrain to open thus
That sacred Heart of Thine?

O Fount of endless life,
O Spring of water clear!

O flame celestial, cleansing all
Who unto Thee draw near!

Hide me in Thy dear Heart,
For thither do I fly ;

POWELL.

There seek Thy grace through life, in death

Thine immortality.

Lead us, Heavenly Father, lead us
O'er the world's tempestuous sea;
Guide us, guard us, keep us, feed us,
For we have no help but Thee,
Yet possessing every blessing
If our GOD our Father be.

SAVIOUR, breathe forgiveness o'er us,
All our weakness Thou dost know;
Thou didst tread this earth before us,
Thou didst feel its keenest woe;
Lone and dreary, faint and weary,
Through the desert Thou didst go.
Spirit of our GOD, descending,
Fill our hearts with heavenly joy,
Love with every passion blending,
Pleasure that can never cloy;
Thus provided, pardoned, guided,
Nothing can our peace destroy.

1451

O Saving Victim, opening wide
The gate of Heaven to man below,
Our foes press on from every side,

Amen.

Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow.

POWELL.

To Thy great Name be thanks and praise,
Immortal Godhead, One in Three;

O grant us endless length of days,
In our true native land with Thee.

Amen. MILLER, POWELL.

SON of GOD, for man decreed
To be born the woman's Seed,

Very GoD and Man indeed,

Hear us, Holy JESU.

GOD with us, Emmanuel,
Coming here as Man to dwell,
Saving us when Adam fell,

Hear us, Holy Jesu.

SAVIOUR, full of truth and grace,
Leaving Thine eternal place

To restore our fallen race,

Hear us, Holy JESU.

Image of the GOD unseen,

Still what Thou hadst ever been,
Though in form of Infant mean,
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

Only Victim we can plead,
Our High Priest to intercede,
Advocate in all our need,

Hear us, Holy JESU.
