Its Ownsweet Calm in Us Instil ;

A guileless mind, a heart sincere. Simplicity of word and will : And ever, as the day glides by, May we the busy senses rein ; Keep guard upon the hand and eye, Nor let the body suffer stain. For all day long, on heaven’s high tower, There stands a sentinel, who spies Our every action, hour by hour, From early dawn till daylight dies. To God the Father glory be, And to his sole-begotten Son ; The same, O Holy Ghost, to thee, While everlasting ages run. EVENING.

Lord of eternal purity ! Who dost the world with light adorn, And paint the tracts of azure sky With lovely hues of eve and morn : Who didst command the sun to light His fiery wheel’s effulgent blaze ; Didst set the moon her circuit bright ; fmaze : The stars their ever-winding That, each within its order’d sphere, They might divide the night from day ; And of the seasons, through the year, The well-remember*d signs da- play: Scatter our night, eternal God, And kindle thy pure beam with- in HYMNS. Free us from guilt' a oppressive load, And break the deadly bonds of sin. Father of mercies ! hear our cry ; Hear us, O sole-begotten Son ! Who, with the Holy Ghost most high, Reignest while endless ages run dutrtag) Sfofpenl. Lucia Creator optirae, Lucem dierum proferens, Primordiis lucis no vae, Mundi parans originem. Qui mane junctura vesperi Diem vocari praecipis : lllabitur tetrum chaos, Audi preces cum fletibus. Ne mens gravata crimine, Vitae sit exui munere, Dum nil perenne cogitat, Seseque culpis illigat. Coeleste pulset ostium : Vitale tollat praemium : Vitemus omne noxium : Purgemus omne pessimum. Praesta, Pater piissime, Patrique compar Unice, Curo Spiritu Paraclito, Regnans per omne saeculum. Amen
