Draw Near, O Lord

R. Draw near, O Lord, our God, graciously hear us, guilty of sinning before you.
1. King exalted, Savior of all nations, see how our grieving lifts our eyes to heaven; hear us, Redeemer, as we beg forgiveness.
2. Might of the Father, Keystone of God’s temple, Way of salvation, Gate to heaven’s glory; sin has enslaved us; free your sons from bondage.
3. We pray you, O God, throned in strength and splendor, hear from your kingdom this, our song of sorrow; show us your mercy, pardon our offenses.
4. Humbly confessing countless sins committed, our hearts are broken, laying bare their secrets; cleanse us, Redeemer, boundless in compassion.
5. Innocent captive, unresisting victim, liars denounced you, sentenced for the guilty; once you redeemed us: now renew us, Jesus.
(English trans., M. Farrell, S.S. Paris Processional, 1824. c 1961 World Library Publications, Inc.)

O Sacred Head Surrounded
1. O Sacred Head surrounded by crown of piercing thorn! O bleeding Head, so wounded, reviled and put to scorn! Death’s pallid hue comes o’er thee, the glow of life decays, yet angel hosts adore thee, and tremble as they gaze.
2. I see thy strength and vigor all fading in the strife, and death with cruel rigor, bereaving thee of life; O agony and dying! O love to sinners free! Jesus, all grace supplying, O turn thy face on me.
3. In this, thy bitter passion, Good Shepherd in the strife, with thy most sweet compassion, unworthy though I be: beneath thy cross abiding forever would I rest, in thy dear love confiding, and with thy presence blest.
(Paulus Gerhardt, 1607-1676, Translation Composite.)

1. God-head here in hiding, whom I do adore, Masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more, See, Lord, at thy service low lies here a heart Lost, all lost in wonder at the God thou art.
2. Seeing, touching, tasting are in thee deceived; How says trusty hearing? that shall be believed; What God’s Son has told me, take for truth I do; Truth himself speaks truly or there’s nothing true.
3. On the Cross thy God-head no sign to men; Here thy very manhood steals from human ken: Both are my confession, both are my belief, And I pray the pray’r made by the dying thief.
4. I am not like Thomas, wounds I cannot see, But can plainly call thee Lord and God as he; This faith each day deeper be my holding of, Daily make me harder hope and dearer love.
5. O thou our reminder of Christ crucified, Living Bread the life of us for whom he died, Lend this life to me then: feed and feast my mind, There be thou the sweetness man has meant to find.
6. Bring the tender tale true of the Pelican; Bathe me, Jesus Lord, in what thy bosom ran, Blood that but one drop of has the world to win, All the world forgiveness of its world of sin.
7. Jesus whom I look at shrouded here below, I beseech thee send me what I thirst for so, Some day to gaze on thee face to face in light, And be blest for ever with thy glory’s sight. Amen.

Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days
1. Lord, who throughout these forty days, For us didst fast and pray, Teach us with thee to mourn our sins, And close by thee to stay.
2. As thou with Satan didst contend, And didst the vict’ry win, O give us strength in thee to fight, In thee to conquer sin.
3. As thou didst hunger, bear and thirst, So teach us, gracious Lord, To die to self, and chiefly live By thy most holy Word.
4. And through these days of penitence, And through thy Passiontide, Yea, evermore, in life and death, Jesus, with us abide.
5. Abide with us, that so, this life Of suff’ring overpast, An Easter of unending joy We may attain at last!
(C.F. Hernaman, 1838-98. St. Flaviain, C.M.; John Day’s Psalter, 1562.)

O Salutaris
O salutaris hostia, Quae caeli pandis ostium,
Bella premunt hostilia: Da robur, fer auxilium.
Uni trinoque Domino Sit sempiterna gloria,
Qui vitam sine termino Nobis donet in patria. Amen.

O saving Victim, opening wide The gate of heaven to man below
Our foes press on from every side; thine aid supply, thy strength bestow.
To thy great Name be endless praise, Immortal Godhead One in Three:
O grant us endless length of days In our true native land with thee. Amen.

Pro Pontifice (For the Pope)
Oremus pro Pontifice N. Dominus conservet eum, et vivificet eum, et beatum faciat eum in terra, et non tradat eum in animam inimicorum eius.

Let us pray for N., our Pope. May the Lord preserve him, give him a long life, make him blessed upon the earth, and may the Lord not hand him over to the power of his enemies.

Tu Es Petrus
Tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram aedificabo ecclesiam meam.

1. Sing my tongue, the Savior’s glory, Of His flesh the myst’ry sing; Of the Blood all price exceeding, Shed by our immortal King, Destined for the world’s redemption, From a noble womb to spring.
2. Of a pure and spotless Virgin Born for us on earth below, He as man, with man conversing, Stayed, the seeds of truth to sow. Then He closed in solemn order Wondrously His life of woe.
3. On the night of that last supper Seated with His chosen band, He, the Paschal victim eating, First fulfills the Law’s command; Then as food to all His brethren Gives Himself with His own hand.
4. Word made Flesh, the bread of nature By His Word to Flesh He turns; Wine into His Blood He changes, What though sense no change discerns? Only be the heart in earnest, Faith her lesson quickly learns.
5. Down in adoration falling, Lo! the sacred Host we hail; Lo! o’er ancient forms departing, Newer rites of grace prevail; Faith for all defects supplying Where the feeble senses fail.
6. To the everlasting Father, and the Son who reigns on high, With the Spirit blest proceeding Forth from each eternally, Be salvation, honor, blessing, Might and endless majesty. Amen.

What Fairer Light?
1. What fairer light is this than time itself doth own,
The golden day with beams more radiant brightening?
The princes of God’s Church this feast day doth enthrone,
To sinners heavenward bound their burden lightening.
2. One taught mankind its creed, one guards the heavenly gate,
Founders of Rome, they bind the world in loyalty;
One by the sword achieved, one by the cross his fate;
With laurelled brows they hold eternal royalty.
3. Rejoice, O Rome, this day; thy walls they once did sign
With princely blood, who now their glory share with thee.
What city’s vesture glows with crimson deep as thine?
What beauty else has earth that may compare with thee?
4. To God the three in one eternal homage be,
All honor, all renown, all songs victorious,
Who rules both heaven and earth by one divine decree,
To everlasting years in empire glorious.
