e;
Grant us the grace we covet most,
And virtues most divine;
And with Thy purifying fire,
Consume, we pray, our vain desire.

III

O God, the Holy Ghost,
With strength our weakness brace,
That e'en the threatenings of a host
We may with courage face;
And put satanic power to flight,
That bears upon our souls with might.

IV

O God, the Holy Ghost,
Our soul's enduring Friend,
For all the gifts of Pentecost
Our grateful songs ascend;--
Thee, with the Father, and the Son
We worship, glorious Three in One.

_Epiphany_, January 6

I

When Jesus to the Jordan came
To honour there the rite divine,
Then, to the world, His awful claim
Was witnessed by the Godhead Trine.

II

From heaven the Father's voice declared
His pleasure and paternal love;
And lo! the Holy Ghost appeared,
And wore the likeness of a Dove.

III

Thrice holy, Jesus Christ, art Thou,
By Father and by Spirit blessed;
We see Thee at the Jordan now,
And hear Thy Godhead there expressed.

IV

Now to the Father glory be,
And to the Son beloved by God,
And to the Spirit, endlessly,
In heaven and all the earth abroad.

_Transfiguration_, August 6

I

When on the mount the Lord appeared
Transfigured to the sight,
His countenance was like the sun,
His raiment glistened white.

II

But dull the minds, and dark the eyes,
On whom such glory shone;
They saw not God upon the mount,
They saw but man alone.

III

And when the dark and cloudy days
Of death and sorrow came,
What were their thoughts of Him who hung
