LITANY FOR CHILDREN. PART 3.

JESU, Who didst deign to flee From King Herod's cruelty In Thy earliest Infancy,

Hear us, Holy JESU.

JESU, Whom Thy Mother found Midst the doctors sitting round, Marvelling at Thy Words profound, Hear us, Holy JESU.

PART 2.

From all pride and vain conceit, From all spite and angry heat, From all lying and deceit,

Save us, Holy JESU. From all sloth and idleness, From not caring for distress, From all lust and greediness, Save us, Holy JESU. From refusing to obey, From the love of our own way, From forgetfulness to pray, Save us, Holy JESU.

By Thy Birth and early years, By Thine Infant wants and fears, By Thy sorrows and Thy tears, Save us, Holy JESU.

By Thy Pattern bright and pure, By the pains Thou didst endure Our salvation to procure,

Save us, Holy JESU.

By Thy Wounds and thorn- crowned Head,

By Thy Blood for sinners shed, By Thy Rising from the dead, Save us, Holy JESU. By the Name we bow before, Human Name, which evermore All the hosts of heaven adore, Save us, Holy JESU. By Thine own unconquered might, By Thy glory in the height,

By Thy mercies infinite,

( 134)

Save us, Holy JESU. Amen.
