And I Will Give You Rest.”
What meeker than the Saviour's heart? — As on the Cross he lay, It did his murderers forgive, And for their pardon pray.
O heart! thou joy of Saints on high! Thou hope of sinners here ! Attracted by those loving words, To thee I lift my prayer. Digitized by CjrOOQlC HYMNS, Wash thou my wounds in that dear blood Which forth from thee doth flow ; New grace, new hope inspire; a new And better heart bestow. ffesmn of tyt ttleaseft Fir gin J&atp. Ave maris stella, Dei Mater alma, Atque semper virgo, Felix coeli porta. Sumens illud Ave Gabrielis ore. Funda nos in pace, Mutans Evae nomen. Solve vincla reis, Profer lumen csecis, Mala nostra pelle, Bona cuncta posce. Monstra te esse matrem. Sumat per te preces, Qui pro nobis natus, Tulit esse tuus. Virgo singularis. Inter omnes mitis, Nos culpis solutos, Mites fac et castos. Vitam praesta puram, Iter para tutum, Ut videntes Jesum, Semper collaetemur. Sit laus Deo Patri, Summo Christo decus, Spiritui Sancto, Tribus honor unus. Arnen. Gentle star of ocean ! Portal of the sky ! Ever Virgin Mother Of the Lord most high ! Oh 1 by Gabriel’s Ave, Utter’d long ago, Eva’s name reversing, Stablish peace below. Break the captive’s fetters ; Light on blindness pour ; All our ills expelling. Every bliss implore. Shew thyself a mother ; Offer him our sighs. Who for us incarnate Did not thee despise. Virgin of all virgins ! To thy shelter take us : Gentlest of the gentle ! Chaste and gentle make us. Still as on we journey, Help our weak endeavour ; Till with thee and Jesus We rejoice for ever. Through the highest heaven, To the Almighty Three, Father, 8on, and Spirit, One same glory be. Amen
