By the insult of the Jews

When Barabbas they would choose,
And would Christ, their King, refuse,
Hear us, Holy Jesu.

By Thy going forth to die,

When they raised their wicked cry,

"Crucify Him, Crucify!"

Hear us, Holy Jesu.

By the Cross which Thou didst bear,
By the cup they bade Thee share,
Mingled gall and vinegar,

Hear us, Holy Jesu.

By Thy nailing to the tree,

By the title over Thee,

On the hill of Calvary,

Hear us, Holy Jesu.

By Thy seven words then said,

By the bowing of Thy head,

By Thy numbering with the dead,

Hear us, Holy Jesu.

When temptation sore is rife,

When we faint amidst the strife,

Thou, Whose death hath been our life,

Save us, Holy Jesu.

While on stormy seas we toss,
Let us count all things as loss,
But Thee only on Thy cross;

Save us, Holy Jesu.

So, with hope in Thee made fast,
When death's bitterness is past,
We may see Thy face at last;

Save us, Holy Jesu. Amen.

Still for our infirmity

Touched with human sympathy,

Our High Priest to intercede,

Jesu, God's Incarnate Son,
By Thy work for sinners done,
By the gifts for sinners won,

We beseech Thee, hear us.

Love the things which are for aye
More than those which pass away,

We beseech Thee, hear us.

Thou would'st dwell within our heart,

Never from us to depart,

We beseech Thee, hear us.

That our love may stronger grow,
And our faith more clearly show
What we hope to see and know,

We beseech Thee, hear us.

That when earthly toil is o'er,
We, in rest for evermore,

May enjoy Thee and adore,

We beseech Thee, hear us.

That upon Thy saints who pine
Longing to be wholly Thine,

Thou would'st send Thy power divine,

We beseech Thee, hear us.

That in mercy Thou would'st come,
Seeking those who careless roam,
Bringing wanderers safely home,

We beseech Thee, hear us.

That we soon may welcome Thee,
And may hear Thee say that we
Where Thou art shall ever be,

We beseech Thee, hear us.

LITANY OF THE HOLY CHILDHOOD.

G

OD the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit, Three in One, Hear us from Thy Heavenly Throne,

From all lying and deceit,

From rejoicing in distress,

From jealousy and greediness,

Thoughts in prayer-time wandering,

From each evil word, and thing,

By Thine Infant wants and fears,
By Thy sorrows and Thy tears,

By the Name we bow before,
Human Name, which evermore
All the Hosts of Heaven adore,

Save us, Holy Jesu.
