THE ANNUNCIATION,&c. 297

Soon our souls to Gop Who gave them Will have spéd their rapid flight: Able now by grace to save them, O, that while we can we might!

Jesu, infinite REDEEMER, Maker of this mighty frame, Teach, O teach us to remember What we are, and whence we came;

Whence we came, and whither wending Soon we must through darkness go, To inherit bliss unending, Or eternity of woe.

As the tree falls, so must it lie;

As the man lives, so will he die;

As the man dies, such must he be,

All through the days of Eternity. Amen,

This Hymn may also be sung at Burial of the Dead, and in Lent,&c.

The Annunciation of the Blessed Virgir Marv.

“ Mary, the Mother of JESUS.” 876 HALL we not love thee, Mother dear, Whom Ffesus loves so well? And in His Temple, year by year, Thy joy and glory tell?.

Bound with the curse of sin and shame We helpless sinners lay,

Until in tender love He came To bear the curse away.

And thee He chose from whom to take True flesh His Flesh to be;

In It to suffer for our sake, By It to make us free.

Thy Babe He lay upon thy breast, To thee He cried for food;

Thy gentle nursing soothed to rest Th’ Incarnate Son of Gop.
