Him the Lord of heaven,
One with the Father known,
And the blest Spirit through Him giv'n
From yonder Triune throne:
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For Thou hast died for me;
Thy praise shall never, never fail
Thro'out eternity.

OUR BLESSED LORD
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 God, my heart inflame,
Give that love which Thou dost claim;
Payment I will ask for none;
Love demands but love alone.
4.
God of beauty, Lord of Light,
Thy good will is my delight;
Now henceforth Thy will divine
Ever shall in all be mine.

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 God 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.
