Sinful Stain

grant that we May tread thy steps, and let it be Our sorrow not to grieve like thee.

O may the wounds of thy dear Son Our contrite hearts pos- sess alone, And all terrene affections drown. Those wounds which now the stars outshine, Those furnaces of love divine, May they our drossy souls refine, And on us such impres- sion make, That we of suffering, for his sake. May joyfully our portion take. Let us his proper badge put on, Let '8 glory in the cross alone. By which he marks us for his own ; That when the dreadful trial ’s come For every man to hear his doom, On his right hand we may find room. oy THROUGHOUT THE TEAR. 875 Inflammat us et accen- 0 bear us, Mary 1 Jesus „ sus hear Ter te, Virgo, aim de- Our humble prayers, se- fensus, cure our fear In die judicii. When thou in judgment shalt appear. Fac me cruce custodiri, Now give us sorrow, give MorteChristipraemuniri, us love, Confoveri gratia. That, so prepared, we Quando corpus morietur, may remove Fac ut anim® donetur When call’d to seats of Paradisi gloria. Amen
