16 For Thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it Thee: but Thou delightest not in burnt-offerings. 17 The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt Thou not despise. 18 O be favourable and gracious unto Sion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-offerings and oblations: then shall they offer young bullocks upon Thine altar. Glory be to the FATHER, and to the SON: and to the HOLY GHOST. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. JESUS lives! our hearts know well Nought from us His love shall sever: Tear us from His keeping ever. Alleluia ! JESUS lives! to Him the Throne Over all the world is given : May we go where He is gone, Rest and reign with Him in Heaven. Alleluia! Amen. Daily from Ascension-day to Whitsunday. THOU art gone up on high, To realms beyond the skies; With sin and care oppressed; And lead us to our rest. Thou art gone up on high; But Thou didst first come down, And girt with griefs and fears Our onward course must be ; Thou art gone up on high; But Thou shalt come again, LORD, by Thy saving power, That we may stand in that dread hour Daily in Whitsun-week. Come, HOLY GHOST, Creator Blest, The hearts which Thou Thyself hast made. To Thee, the COMFORTER, we cry, Thy gifts in sevenfold order stand, Thy Light to our dull sense impart, Drive far from us our deadly foe, Grant us to know the FATHER'S Name, To FATHER, SON, and PARACLETE, And may the SON on us bestow The gifts that from the SPIRIT flow. Amen. |
