CATHOLIC HYMNS.
Virgin of all virgins,
To thy shelter take us;
Gentlest of the gentle,
Chaste and gentle make us.
Still as on we journey,
Help our weak endeavour;
Till with thee and Jesus
We rejoice for ever.
Through the highest heaven,
To the all-holy Three,
Father, Son, and Spirit,
One same glory be.
28. Gratitude for the early Knowledge of God.
Among the gifts thy hands bestow
Each day and hour on me,
'Tis not the least, O Lord, to know
That they all come from thee.
How Joyfully each day I ought
Thy precepts to fulfil,
Since I have been so early taught
To do thy gracious will!
I cannot tell thee what my heart
Would have me say to thee,
For having taught me what thou art,
And what I ought to be.
