6Honor the means ordained by Thee,
The great unbloody sacrifice,
The deep tremendous mystery;
Thyself in our enlightened eyes
Now in the broken bread made known
And show us Thou art all our own.




Hymn VII.

By the Mystery of thy holy Incarnation; by thy holy Nativity and Circumcision; by thy Baptism, Fasting, and Temptation; by thine Agony, and bloody Sweat; by thy Cross and Passion; by thy precious Death and Burial; by thy glorious Resurrection and Ascension; and by the Coming of the Holy Ghost, Good Lord, deliver us. Litany.

1JESU, shew us thy Salvation,
(In thy Strength we strive with Thee)
By thy Mystic Incarnation,
By thy pure Nativity;
Save us Thou, our New-Creator,
Into all our Souls impart,
Thy Divine Unsinning Nature,
Form Thyself within our Heart.

2By thy First Blood-shedding heal us;
Cut us off from every Sin,
By thy Circumcision seal us,
Write thy Law of Love within;
By thy Spirit circumcise us,
Kindle in our Hearts a Flame;
By thy Baptism baptize us
Into all thy Glorious Name.
