HYMNS OF THE CHURCH.

SANCTUS. 10,11,12.

Amen.

I

1 HOLY, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!

Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee:
Holy, Holy, Holy, merciful and mighty;

God in Three Persons, Blessed Trinity!

2 Holy, Holy, Holy! all the saints adore Thee,

Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea,
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

3 Holy, Holy, Holy! though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see,
Only Thou art Holy; there is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

4 Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!

All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth, and sky, and sea: Holy, Holy, Holy! merciful and mighty;

God in Three Persons, Blessed Trinity! Amen.

I OUR Father, who dost lead
The children of Thy grace,
A new-born and believing seed,
Through this wide wilderness;
Thy providential care

In dangers past we own;
Still let Thine arm be ever near,
Still let Thy love be shown.

2 O Saviour, Lamb of God!
Our gracious, dying Friend!
Reveal the virtue of Thy blood,
On us Thy mercy send:
Thou art a Master kind,
With voice and person sweet ;
Bestow on us a loving mind,
And keep us at Thy feet.

3 Thou, Holy Spirit, art

Of truth the promised Seal; Convincing power Thou dost impart,

And Jesus' grace reveal;

Oh breathe Thy quickening breath,

And light and life afford;

Instruct us how to live by faith,

And glorify the Lord.

2 Thee, the first-born sons of light, In choral symphonies,

Praise by day, day without night,

And never, never cease;

Angels and archangels, all

Praise the mystic Three in One;
Sing, and stop, and gaze, and fall
O'erwhelmed before Thy throne.

3 Father, God, Thy love we praise,
Which gave Thy Son to die;
Jesus, full of truth and grace,
Alike we glorify;

Spirit, Comforter divine,

Praise by all to Thee be given,

Till we in full chorus join,

And earth is turned to heaven.
