O Jesus ! whose name is above all names, that in the name of Jesus every knee may bend, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and in hell ; whose body, that was nailed to the cross for mankind, the Almighty raised from death glorious and immortal ; who by MOST HOLY NAME OF JESUS. 247 thy ascension triumphedst over death, and ledst captivity captive. Who, according to thy promise, sent down the Spirit, that proceedeth from the Father and the Son, the Comforter and the Enlivener : who, stretching forth the bounty of thy Almighty hand, dost shed upon the chosen children of Adam that glory that neither eye hath seen, nor ear hath heard, nor hath it entered into the heart of man ; and who will come forth in power and majesty to judge the living and the dead, before whose throne all mortals will appear : grant us to celebrate those mysteries to thy honour and our own salvation : who, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest one God for all eternity. Amen
