LITANY OF THE HOLY GHOST.

Keep us in the narrow way, Warn us when we go astray, Plead within us when we pray; Hear us, Holy SPIRIT.

Holy, loving, as Thou art, All Thy sevenfold gifts impart, Nevermore from us depart;

Hear us, Holy SPIRIT. Amen.

Litany of the Church.

GOD the FATHER, GOD the SON,

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

JESU, with Thy Church abide, Be her Saviour, LORD, and Guide, While on earth her faith is tried: We beseech Thee, hear us.

Arms of love around her throw, Shield her safe from every foe, Comfort her in time of woe:

We beseech Thee, hear us.

Keep her life and doctrine pure, Grant her patience to endure, Trusting in Thy promise sure: We beseech Thee, hear us.

May her voice be ever clear, Warning of a judgment near, Telling of a Saviour dear:

We beseech Thee, hear us.

All her fettered powers release, Bid our strife and envy cease, Grant the heavenly gift of peace: We beseech Thee, hear us.

All that she has lost restore, May her strength and zeal be more Than in brightest days of yore:

We beseech Thee, hear us. ( 343)
