DOMINE DIRIGE NOS.
GOD is not importunate :
If we will not hear His voice,
He is silent, and withdraws,
Angels mourn, and fiends rejoice.
O Lord, direct us !
Was it our fault Adam fell ?
Did we will his sinning ?
Fore-ordained to endless Hell,
Heaven not for our winning.
O Lord, direct us !
Other life we know not yet ;
But from what we know of this,
Tis an evil thing to get :
Souls unborn come nearest bliss.
O Lord, direct us !
