LITANY OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT.

That, as death's dark vale we tread, Thou mayst be our strengthening Bread, Grant us, Holy JESU.

That, unworthy though we be, We may ever dwell with Thee,

Grant us, Holy JESU. Amen.

Litany for Children.

GOD the FATHER, GOD the SON,

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

JESU, Saviour ever mild, Born for us a little Child Of the Virgin undefiled, Hear us, Holy JESU.

JESU, by the Mother- Maid In Thy swaddling- clothes arrayed, And within a manger laid,

Hear us, Holy JESU.

JESU, at Whose Infant Feet Shepherds, coming Thee to greet, Knelt to pay their worship meet, Hear us, Holy JESU.

JESU, unto Whom of yore Wise men, hastening to adore, Gold and myrrh and incense bore, Hear us, Holy JESU.

JESU, to Thy Temple brought, Whom, by Thy good SPIRIT taught Simeon and Anna sought,

Hear us, Holy JESU.

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

Hear us, Holy JESU.
