Happy we who thus united

Rev. E. Vaughan "Ave Virgo" 15th Century melody Arr. by N. A. M.

Allegro moderato

1. Happy we, who thus united Join in cheerful melody; Praising Jesus, Mary, Joseph, In the "Holy Family." Jesus, Mary, Joseph, help us, That we ever true may be, To the promises that bind us To the "Holy Family."

2. Jesus, Whose almighty bidding All created things fulfill, Lives on earth in meek subjection To His earthly parents' will. Sweetest Infant, make us patient And obedient for Thy sake, Each us to be chaste and gentle, All our stormy passions break.

3. Mary! thou alone were chosen Virgin Mother of thy Lord: Thou didst guide the earthly footsteps Of the Great Incarnate Word. Dearest Mother! Make us humble; For thy Son will take His rest In the poor and lowly dwelling Of a humble sinner's breast.

4. Joseph! Thou wert called the father Of thy Maker and thy Lord; Thine it was to save thy Saviour From the cruel Herod's sword. Suffer us to call thee father; Show to us a father's love; Lead us safe thro' ev'ry danger Till we meet in heav'n above.

Refrain King of Glory, hear our cry; Make us soon Thy joy to see, Where enthroned in majesty Countless angels sing to Thee.

2. The Ascension

By Thy parting blessing giv'n, As Thou didst ascend to Heav'n, By the cloud of living light That received Thee out of sight.

Refrain Thro' life's long day and deaths dark night, O gentle Jesus! be our light; Jesus! be our light.

When day's shadows lengthen Mane nobiscum, quoniam ad vesperascit

Dr. F. G. Lee Traditional Melody Arr. by N. A. M.

Andante

1. When day's shadows lengthen, Jesus, be Thou near: Pardon, comfort, strengthen, Chase away my fear; Love and hope be deepen'd, Faith more strong and clear.

2. When the night grows darkest, And the stars are pale, When the foemen gather In death's misty vale, Be Thou Sword and Buckler, Be Thou Shield and Mail.

3. Come, Thou Food of angels, Source of ev'ry grace, In Thy Father's mansions Give me soon a place; That unveiled in splendor I may see Thy Face.

4. Then be near me, Jesus, Enemies shall flee: Hidden God and Saviour, Thou my comfort be: Food, and Priest, and Victim, Let me feed on Thee.

5. So shall no fears chill me On that unknown shore; For in death He conquered, And can die no more. His Hand guards and guides me To the heav'nly door.

6. Bless'ed warfare over, Endless rest alone; Tears no more, nor sorrow, Neither sigh nor moan, But a song of triumph Round about the throne.

Praise we our God with joy

Processional Canon Oakeley Nicola A. Montani

Allegro maestoso (with well-marked rhythm)

1. Praise we our God with joy And gladness never ending; Angels and Saints with us Their grateful voices blending. He is our Father dear, O'erfilled with Father's love; Mercies unsought, unknown He showers from above,

2. He is our Shepherd true, With watchful care unsleeping; On us, his erring sheep, An eye of pity keeping. He with a mighty arm The bonds of sin doth break, And to our burden'd hearths In words of peace doth speak.

3. Bleeding, we lay, but He With soothing bands hath bound us; Dark was our path, but He Hath poured His light around us; Graces in copious streams From that pure fountain come, Down to our heart of hearts, Where God hath set his home.

4. His Word our lantern is, His Peace our consolation; His sweetness all our rest, Himself our great Salvation! Then live we all to God, Rely on Him in faith, Be He our guide in life, Our joy, our hope, in death.

Praise to the Holiest in the height Dream of Gerontius

Processional Cardinal Newman Nicola A. Montani

With spirit

1. Praise the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise; In all His words most wonderful, Most sure in all His ways!

2. O loving wisdom of our God! When all was sin and shame, A second Adam to the fight And to the rescue came.

3. O wisest love! That flesh and blood Which did in Adam fail, Should strive afresh against the foe; Should strive and should prevail;

4. And that a higher gift than grace Should flesh and blood refine, God's Presence and His very Self, And Essence all divine.

5. O gen'rous love! The He who smote In man for man the foe, The double agony in man For man should undergo;

6. And in the garden secretly, And on the Cross on High, Should teach His brethren and inspire To suffer and to die.

2. Let me be slow to do my will, Prompt to obey: Help me to mortify my flesh, Just for today. Let me no wrong or idle word Unthinkingly say; Set Thou a seal upon my lips, Just for today.

3. Let me in season, Lord, be grave, In season, gay; Let me be faithful to Thy Grace, Just for today. And if today my tide of life Should ebb away, Give me Thy Sacraments divine, Sweet Lord, today.

4. In purgatory's cleansing fires Brief be my stay; Oh, bid me, if today I die, Go home today. So, for tomorrow and its needs, I do not pray; But keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, just for today.

Why art thou sorrowful?

The Remembrance of Mercy Father Faber S. M. Yenn

Moderato

1. Why art thou sorrowful, servant of God? And what is this dulness that hangs o'er thee now? Sing the praises of Jesus, and sing them aloud, And the song shall dispel the dark cloud from thy brow. Sing the praises of Jesus, and sing them aloud, And the song shall dispel the dark cloud from thy brow.

2. Oh, is there a thought in the wide world so sweet, As that God has so cared for us, bad as we are, That He thinks for us, plans for us, stoops to entreat, And follows us, wander we ever so far? That He thinks for us, plans for us, stoops to entreat, And follows u, wander we ever so far?

3. Oh, then, when the spirit of darkness comes down With clouds of uncertainties into thy heart, One look to thy Saviour, one thought of thy crown, And the tempest is over, the shadows depart. One look to thy Saviour, one thought of thy crown, And the tempest is over, the shadows depart.

4. That God hath once whispered a word in thine ear, Or sent thee from Heaven one sorrow for sin, Is enough for a life both to banish all fear, And to turn into peace all the troubles within. Is enough for a life both to banish all fear, And to turn into peace all the troubles within.

What a Sea of Tears and Sorrows O quot undis lacrymarum

Tr. by Rev. F. Campbell Ch. Gounod Arr. by N. A. M.

Andante religioso

1. What a sea of tears and sorrows Did the soul of Mary toss To and fro upon its billows While she wept her bitter loss; In her arms her Jesus holding, Torn so newly from the Cross.

2. Oh, that mournful Virgin Mother, See her tears how fast they flow Down upon His mangled Body Wounded Side and thorny Brow; While His Hands and Feet she kisses, Picture of immortal woe.

3. Oft, and oft His Arms and Bosom, Fondly straining to her own; Oft, her pallid lips imprinting On each Wound of her dear Son: Till at last in swoons of anguish, Sense and consciousness are gone.

4. Gentle Mother, we beseech thee, By thy tears and troubles sore; By the death of thy dear Offspring, By the bloody Wounds He bore; Touch our hearts with that true sorrow Which affected thee of yore.

Lord, Who at Cana's Wedding Feast

A. Thrupp J. Lewis Browne

Moderato

1. Lord, who at Cana's wedding feast Didst as a guest appear, Thou, dearer far than earthly guest, Vouchsafe Thy presence here;

2. For holy Thou indeed dost prove The marriage vow to be, Proclaiming it a type of love Between the Church and Thee.

3. The holiest vow that man can make, The golden thread of life, The bond that none may dare divide, That bindeth man to wife.

4. Which blest by Thee, whate'er betides, No evil shall destroy, Thro' careworn days each care divides, And doubles ev'ry joy.

5. On those who at Thine altar kneel, O Lord, Thy blessing pour, That each may wake the other's zeal To love Thee more and more:

6. Oh grant them here in peace to live, In purity and love, And, this world leaving, to receive A crown of life above. Amen.
