ASCENSIONTIDE

5 * Still for us he intercedes; Alleluya!
His prevailing death he pleads; Alleluya!
Near himself prepares our place, Alleluya!
Harbinger of human race. Alleluya!

Unison. 6 Lord, though parted from our sight. Alleluya!
Far above yon azure height. Alleluya!
Grant our hearts may thither rise. Alleluya!
Seeking thee beyond the skies. Alleluya!

Unison. 7. There we shall with thee remain, Alleluya!
Partners of thine endless reign; Alleluya!
There thy face unclouded see. Alleluya!
Find our heaven of heavens in thee. Alleluya!

Compline.
Jesu Nostra redemptio.
c. 8th cent. Tr. J. Chandler †.

O CHRIST, our hope, our hearts’ desire,
Redemption's only spring;
Creator of the world art thou,
Its Saviour and its King.

2 How vast the mercy and the love
Which laid our sins on thee,
And led thee to a cruel death
To set thy people free.

3 But now the bonds of death are burst.
The ransom has been paid
And thou art on thy Father's throne,
In glorious robes arrayed.

4 O may thy mighty love prevail
Our sinful souls to spare;
O may we come before thy throne,
And find acceptance there!

5 O Christ, be thou our present joy,
Our future great reward;
Our only glory may it be
To glory in the Lord.

6. All praise to thee, ascended Lord;
All glory ever be
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Through all eternity. Amen.
