YOME, Holy Ghost, who ever One Art with the Father and the Son; Come, Holy Ghost, our souls possess With Thy full flood of holiness.

Let mouth, and heart, and flesh combine
To herald forth our creed divine,
And love so wrap this mortal frame,
Others may catch the living flame.

This grace on us be pleas'd confer,
O ever-blessed Comforter,

Who with the Father and the Son
For ever reignest, Three in One.

"OW the day's declining wheel

NOW

Does to night's dark confines roll.

On the hours, the seasons steal,

Life fast hurrying to the goal.

Thou who, lifted on the Tree,
At the ninth hour loud didst cry,
Light to us and comfort be,

When death's gloomy shades are nigh.

Grant us, Lord, with Thee to die,

Grant with Thee to rise again,
That with Thee eternally,

We in heav'nly bliss may reign.

THOU true Light, Blest Trinity,
And undivided Unity,

Though now the fiery sun decline,
Still on our hearts in brightness shine.

Thee in the hymns of morn we praise,
To Thee our voice at eve we raise ;
O grant us with Thy saints on high
Thee through all time to glorify.

O Holy Father, Holy Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
Thy grace devoutly we implore,
Thy Name be prais'd for evermore.

GOD, the Light of all that live,

Unmov'd who dost all motion sway,
The times and seasons who dost give,
And through its changes guid'st the day.

At eventide let there be light,

So may our souls no sunset see, And death to us the portal bright To an eternal morning be.

This grace on Thy redeem'd confer,
O Father blest, who with the Son,
And Holy Ghost, the Comforter,
For ever reignest, three in One.

RE the waning light decay,

God of all, to Thee we pray,
Thee Thy healthful grace to send,
Thee to guard us and defend.

Guard from dreams that may affright,
Guard from terrors of the night;
Guard from foes without, within,—
Outward danger, inward sin.

Mindful of our only stay,
Duly thus to Thee we pray;
Duly thus to Thee we raise
Trophies of our grateful praise.

Hear the pray'r, Almighty King,
Hear Thy praises while we sing,
Hymning with the heav'nly host,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
