LITANY OF THE INCARNATE WORD.

Litany of the Encarnate Word.

GOD the FATHER, GOD the Sox, GOD the SPIRIT, THREE in ONE, Hear us from Thy heavenly Throne, Spare us, Holy TRINITY.

SON of GOD, for man decreed To be born the woman's Seed, Very GoD and Man indeed, Hear us, Holy JESU.

Thou Whose Wisdom all things planned,

Held by Whose Almighty hand

All things in their order stand, Hear us, Holy JESU.

GOD with us, Emmanuel, Coming here as Man to dwell, Saving us when Adam fell,

Hear us, Holy JESU.

SAVIOUR, full of truth and grace, Leaving Thine eternal place To restore our fallen race, Hear us, Holy JESU.

Image of the Gon unseen,

Still what Thou hadst ever been, Though in form of Infant mean, Hear us, Holy JESU.

WORD, by Whom the worlds were made,

In a lowly manger laid,

Taught on earth an humble trade, Hear us, Holy JESU.

JESU, led by love to share

All the forms of grief and care, That we sinful mortals bear, Hear us, Holy JESU.

Good Physician, come to cure All the ills that men endure, And to make our nature pure, Hear us, Holy JESU.

Man of Sorrows, weak and worn With Thy woes for sinners borne, Lest we should for ever mourn, Hear us, Holy JESU.
