FEASTS OF MARTYRS

JESU, the balm of every wound, The sinner's only stay, Grant us, like Magdalene, to weep In this Thy mercy's day.

Absolve us by Thy gracious Word, Fulfil us with Thy love,

And guide us through the storms of life. To perfect rest above.

All praise, all glory be to Thee, O everlasting LORD,

Whose mercy doth our souls forgive,

Whose bounty doth reward. Amen.

460" His Face did shine as the sun, and His raiment was white as the light."

THE TRANSFIGURATION OF OUR LORD.

IN days of old on Sinai

The LORD Almighty came In majesty of terror,

In thunder- cloud and flame: On Tabor, with the glory

Of sunniest light for vest, The excellence of beauty In JESUS was expressed.

All light created paled there, And did Him worship meet; The sun itself adored Him, And bowed before His feet; While Moses and Elias, Upon the Holy Mount, The co- eternal glory

Of CHRIST our GoD recount.

O holy, wondrous vision!

But what when, this life past, The beauty of Mount Tabor

Shall end in heaven at last? But what when all the glory Of uncreated light Shall be the promised guerdon

Of them that win the fight? Amen.
