By the insult of the Jews When Barabbas they would choose, By Thy going forth to die, When they raised their wicked cry, "Crucify Him, Crucify!" Hear us, Holy Jesu. By the Cross which Thou didst bear, Hear us, Holy Jesu. By Thy nailing to the tree, By the title over Thee, On the hill of Calvary, Hear us, Holy Jesu. By Thy seven words then said, By the bowing of Thy head, By Thy numbering with the dead, Hear us, Holy Jesu. When temptation sore is rife, When we faint amidst the strife, Thou, Whose death hath been our life, Save us, Holy Jesu. While on stormy seas we toss, Save us, Holy Jesu. So, with hope in Thee made fast, Save us, Holy Jesu. Amen. LITANY OF JESUS IN GLORY. Gaviour Who didst come to die; OD the Father, throned on high; Save us, Holy Trinity. Jesu, Prince of life and light, Hear us, Holy Jesu. Thou Who didst to heaven ascend, Still Thy people to defend, Hear us, Holy Jesu. Thou Whose death did death destroy, Hear us, Holy Jesu. Jesu, raised to God's right hand, Hear us, Holy Jesu. Thou Who dost the sceptre bear, Hear us, Holy Jesu. Thou Who must in glory reign, Till no enemy remain, Hear us, Holy Jesu. Jesu, Who art glorified, In the very flesh that died, With the pierced hands and side, Hear us, Holy Jesu. Jesu, though enthroned on high, Touched with human sympathy, Hear us, Holy Jesu. Jesu, in our time of need, Our High Priest to intercede, Living still Thy death to plead, Hear us, Holy Jesu. Jesu, God's Incarnate Son, We beseech Thee, hear us. That with faithful hearts we may We beseech Thee, hear us. That while pilgrims toiling here We beseech Thee, hear us. That Thy grace our lust may kill, All Thy pleasure to fulfil, We beseech Thee, hear us. That all holy as Thou art Thou would'st dwell within our heart, Never from us to depart, We beseech Thee, hear us. That our love may stronger grow, We beseech Thee, hear us. That when earthly toil is o'er, May enjoy Thee and adore, We beseech Thee, hear us. That upon Thy saints who pine Thou would'st send Thy power divine, We beseech Thee, hear us. That in mercy Thou would'st come, We beseech Thee, hear us. That we soon may welcome Thee, We beseech Thee, hear us. LITANY OF THE HOLY CHILDHOOD. G OD the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit, Three in One, Hear us from Thy Heavenly Throne, Spare us, Holy Trinity. Jesu, at Whose Infant Feet Shepherds coming Thee to greet, Hear us, Holy Jesu. Jesu, unto Whom of yore Wise men, hastening to adore, Gold and myrrh, and incense bore, Hear us, Holy Jesu. Jesu, Who didst deign to flee Hear us, Holy Jesu. Jesu, Whom Thy Mother found Hear us, Holy Jesu. From all pride and vain conceit, Save us, Holy Jesu. From all sloth and idleness, From rejoicing in distress, From jealousy and greediness, Save us, Holy Jesu. From disobedience, murmuring, Thoughts in prayer-time wandering, From each evil word, and thing, Save us, Holy Jesu. By Thy Birth and early years, Save us, Holy Jesu. By the Name we bow before, Save us, Holy Jesu. |
