Jesus, Lord, be Thou mine own Mondo, piu, per me non sei

Communion Hymn St. Alphonsus Don Lorenzo Perosi Tr. Rev. E. Vaughan, C. SS. R.

Moderato

1.

Jesus Lord, be Thou mine own; Thee I long for, Thee alone; All myself, I give to Thee; Do whate'er Thou wilt with me.

2.

Life without Thy love would be Death, O Sovereign Good, to me; Bound and held by Thy dear chains Captive now my heart remains.

3.

Thou, O G.o.d, my heart inflame, Give that love which Thou dost claim; Payment I will ask for none; Love demands but love alone.

4.

G.o.d of beauty, Lord of Light, Thy good will is my delight; Now henceforth Thy will divine Ever shall in all be mine.

OUR BLESSED LORD

Loving Shepherd of Thy Sheep The Good Shepherd

Processional Pastor Amans Miss J. E. Leeson (1807-1882) Adaptation of a Litany Melody from Catholic Hymntunes (Publ. 1819; J.M.Capes)

Moderato

1.

Loving Shepherd of Thy sheep Keep me, Lord in safety keep; Nothing can Thy pow'r withstand, None can pluck me from Thy Hand.

Loving Shepherd, Thou didst give Thine own life that I might live; May I love Thee day by day, Gladly Thy sweet Will obey.

2.

Loving Shepherd, ever near, Teach me still Thy voice to hear; Suffer not my step to stray From the strait and narrow way.

Where Thou leadest may I go, Walking in Thy steps below; Then before Thy Father's throne, Jesus, claim me for Thine own.

THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

The Very Angels' Bread Panis Angelicus

Tr. by Rt. Rev. Msgr. H. T. Henry, Litt.D.

P. Meurers

Slowly

1.

The very Angels' Bread Doth food to men afford; The types have vanished, Remains the Truth adored: O wonderous mystery Their banquet is the Lord The poor and lowly, bond and free.

2.

O G.o.d forever blest, O Three in One, we pray: Visit the longing breast Enter this house of clay, And lead us through the Night Unto the perfect Day Where dwellest Thou in endless light.

THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

Soul of my Saviour Anima Christi

L. Dobici

Slowly: with devotion

1.

Soul of my Savior sanctify my breast, Body of Christ, be Thou my saving guest; Blood of my Saviour bathe me in Thy Tide; Wash me, ye waters gus.h.i.+ng from His Side.

2.

Strength and protection may His Pa.s.sion be, O blessed Jesus, hear and answer me; Deep in Thy Wounds, Lord, hide and shelter me; So shall I never, never part from Thee.

3.

Guard and defend me from the foe malign; In death's drear moments make me only Thine; Call me and bid me come to Thee on high, Where I may praise Thee with Thy Saints for aye.
