Glory be to the Father, &c. Alleluia.

EVER could sin and hell obscure The radiance of a Heart so pure; A Heart which Heaven had made the seat Of all that's pure, and good, and great. To crown it, lilies, robed in white, With spikenard and the rose unite; While sweetest fruits of heaven above, Surrounded it "languishing with love." Through that pure Heart where thou didst dwell, That Heart that loved thine own so well, May all their homage, Jesus, send To thee, for ages without end. Amen.

Anthem. — Blessed is the man that heareth me, and that watcheth daily at my gates, and waiteth at the posts of my doors. He that shall find me, shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord. — Prov. viii. 34.
