6.To great Jehovah, one and three,
Be everlasting glory given:
A life of endless bliss may He
Award us in the realms of Heaven.

Amen.

AVE VERUM.

Hail, true body born, to suffer,
Of the blessed Virgin's womb,
Who upon the cross didst offer
Man's hilastic hecatomb;

Wounded heart whence flowing over
Mystic blood and water come.
Comfort to our souls recover
In the hour of death and gloom.

Merciful and gentle One
Jesu, Mary's blessed Son.

Amen.

DOMINIC THE CARTHUSIAN'S EXHORTATION TO PENANCE.

Man, of God erewhile created,
And to die by nature fated.
Why so little agitated
For eternal glory's prize?
