5 Dear Paraclete! how hast Thou waited While our hearts were slowly turned? How often hath Thy love been slighted, While for us it grieved and burned! Holy Ghost!& c.

6 Now, if our hearts do not deceive us, We would take Thee for our Lord;

O dearest Spirit! make us faithful

To Thy least and lightest word. IIoly Ghost!& c.

HOLY CROSS.

IIIow bright those glorious spirits shine!

Whence all their white array? rlow came they to the blissful seats Of everlasting day?

2 Lo! these are they from sufferings great Who came to realms of light; And in the Blood of Christ have washed Those robes that shine so bright.

3 Now with triumphal palms they stand Before the Throne on high,

And serve the God they love amidst The glories of the sky.

4 IIis Presence fills each heart with joy, Tunes every mouth to sing:

By day, by night, the sacred courts With glad hosannas ring.

7 Ah, sweet Consoler! though we cannot Love Thee as Thou lovest us,

Yet, if Thou deign'st our hearts to kindle; They will not be always thus. Holy Ghost!& c.

8 With hearts so vile, how dare we venture, Holy Ghost, to love Thee so?

And how canst Thou with such compassion, Bear so long with things so low?

Holy Ghost!& c. Amen.

5 Hunger and thirst are felt no more, Nor sun with scorching ray;

God is their Sun, Whose cheering beams Diffuse eternal day.

6 The Lamb, Which dwells amidst the Throne, Shall o'er them still preside,

Feed them with nourishment Divine, And all their footsteps guide.

7' Mong pastures green He'll lead His flock, Where living streams appear;

And God the Lord from every eye Shall wipe off every tear.

8 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

The God Whom we adore,

Be glory, as it was, is now,

And shall be evermore. Amen.
