LITANY OF THE CHURCH.LI

May she one in doctrine be, One in truth and charity, Winning all to faith in Thee:

We beseech Thee, hear us.

May she guide the poor and blind, all Seek the lost until she find, And the broken- hearted bind: ocarave nam We beseech Thee, hear us.

Save her love from growing cold, Make her watchmen strong and bold, Fence her round, Thy peaceful fold: We beseech Thee, hear us.

203

May her Priests Thy people feed, Shepherds of the flock indeed, Ready, where Thou call'st, to lead: We beseech Thee, hear us.

orans

Judge her not for work undone, d Judge her not for fields unwon, arW Bless her works in Thee begun:

We beseech Thee, hear us.

For the past give deeper shame, home Make her jealous for Thy Name, Kindle zeal's most holy flame:

We beseech Thee, hear us.

Raise her to her calling high, geo Let the nations far and nigh Hear Thy heralds' warning cry: We beseech Thee, hear us.

May her lamp of truth be bright, Bid her bear aloft its light Through the realms of heathen night: We beseech Thee, hear us.

May her scattered children be From reproach of evil free, Blameless witnesses for Thee: We beseech Thee, hear us.

IEE

Arm her soldiers with the cross, ad fA Brave to suffer toil or loss, ale ad vald Counting earthly gain but dross: ad We beseech Thee, hear us.
