Hymn 31.

JEsu! whose Grace inspires thy Priests, To keep alive by solemn Feasts The Memory of thy Love; O may we here so pass our days, That they at last our Souls may raise To feast with Thee above.

Jesu! behold Wisemen, from far Led to thy Cradle by a Star, Bring Gifts to Thee their King; O guide us by thy Light, that we May find the right way, and to Thee Our selves for Tribute bring.

Jesu, the pure and spotless Lamb, Who to the Temple humbly came, Those legal Rites to pay! O make our proud and stubborn Will Thine and the Churches Laws fulfil, What e'er fond Nature say.

Jesu, who on that fatal Wood Pour'dst forth thy Life's last drop of Blood, Nail'd to a shameful Cross; O may we bless thy Love, and be Ready, dear Lord, to bear for Thee All Grief, all Pain, all Loss.

Jesu, who by thine own love slain, By thine own Pow'r took'st Life again, And from the Grave did'st rise! O may thy Death our Spirits revive, And at our Death a new Life give, A Life that never dies.

Jesu, who to thy Heaven again Return'dst in Triumph, there to reign, Of Men and Angels King. O may our parting Souls take flight, Up to that Land of Joy and Light, And there for ever sing.

All Glory to the Sacred Three, One undivided Deity, All Honour, Power, and Praise: O may thy blessed Name shine bright, Crown'd with those Beams of glorious Light, Its own eternal Rays.
