Qui Mariam Absolvisti,

Et latronem exaudisti, Mihi quoque spem dedisti. Preces meae non sunt dignae : Sed tu bonus fac benigne, Ne perenni cremer igne. Inter oves locum praesta, Et ab hcedis me sequestra, Statuens in parte dextra. Hark! the trump, with thrilling tone, From sepulchral regions lone, Summons all before the throne ; Time and death it doth appal, To see the buried ages all Rise to answer at the call. Now the books are open spread ; Now the writing must be read. Which condemns the quick and dead : Now, before the Judge severe Hidden things must all appear ; Nought can pass unpunish'd here. What shall guilty I then plead l Who for me will intercede. When the saints shall comfort need ? King of dreadful majesty ! Who dost freely justify I Fount of pity, save thou me ! Recollect, O love divine ! ’Twa8 for this lost sheep of thine Thou thy glory didst resign ; Satest wearied seeking me ; Suffered8t upon the tree : Let not vain thy labour be. Judge of justice, hear my prayer ! Spare me, Lord, in mercy spare 1 Ere the reckoning-day appear. Lo 1 thy gracious face I seek ; Shame and grief are on my cheek; Sighs and tears my sorrow speak. Thou didst Mary’s guilt forgive; Didst the dying thief receive ; Hence doth hope within me live. Worthless are my prayers, I know; Yet, oh, cause me not to go Into everlasting woe. Sever'd from the guilty band, Make me with thy sheep to stand, Placing me on thy right hand. HYMNS. «jonfutatis maledictis, Flammis acribus addictis, Voca me cum benedictis. Oro supplex et acclinis, Cor contritum quasi cinis : Gere curam mei finis. Lacrymosa dies illa, Qua resurget ex favilla Judicandus homo reus. Huic ergo parce, Deus : Pie Jesu Domine, Dona eis requiem. Amen
