No. 1.—Advent Litany.
"Watch and pray."

YHRIST, Who in the ages gone
Wast with God, the Three in One;
Word of Life-the only Son,

We adore Thee, Jesu.

2 Thou didst leave Thy Father's throne,
And didst dwell among Thine own,
Though Thou wert by them unknown,
We adore Thee, Jesu.

3 Thou didst lay Thy glory by ;
Willing e'en for man to die ;
After years of poverty,

Hear us, Holy Jesu.

4 By Thy wondrous mercy shown;
By Thy teachings to Thine own;
By the Way Thou hast made known;
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

5 By the Truth till then unknown;
By the rest Thy toil hath won ;
By the Light Thy Word hath shown;
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

6 By the Life by Thee outpoured;
By the sick by Thee restored;
By Thy mercy, Holy Lord;
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

7 For we know the day is near
When on earth Thou shalt appear;
Filling some with dreadful fear,
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

8 Then in mercy hear our prayer,
In Thy love and pity spare,
Make us all Thy glory share,
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

9 Teach us now our watch to keep,
Still to watch though others sleep,
Watching through the darkness deep:
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

IO Still we wait the Advent cry;
Long to hear "The Lord is nigh,"
And to see Thee in the sky,
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

II Still the souls of martyrs cry,
Who for Thee were glad to die,
Who beneath the Altar lie,

Hear us, Holy Jesu.

prayer,

With Thee by them everywhere,
Never need they to despair,

Hear us, Holy Jesu.

Teach us, Lord, how we should pray,
Teach us what we ought to say,
How to Thee true homage pay :
We beseech Thee, hear us.

16 Pray that we may be forgiven,
That a place be found in heaven
For the souls who here have striven:
We beseech Thee, hear us.

17 Pray that wanderers be restored
To the fold of Christ the Lord :
Made to love His Holy Word:
We beseech Thee, hear us.

18 That we may united be,
One in hope and charity,
One in faith and love of Thee:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
19 So that when we hear the
cry:
"Jesus comes, the Lord is nigh!"
We may meet Thee in the sky,
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

20 Rise to meet Thee in the air,
And with Thee Thy glory share,
Dimmed no more by sin and care,
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

21 Even so, Lord Jesus, come,
Come and banish all the gloom;
Come and take Thy children home:
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

22 Quickly come and end the night,
Rise and shine in splendour bright,
Rise, O Sun-show us Thy light,
Even so, Lord Jesus.
Amen.
