HYMN
HAIL, Dial of Achaz!
On thee the true sun
Told backward the course
Which from old he had run!
And, that man might be raised.
Submitting to shame,
A little more low
Than the angels became.
Thou, rapt in the blaze
Of His infinite light,
Dost shine as the morn
On the confines of night;
As the moon on the lost
Through obscurity dawns;
The serpent's destroyer!
A lily 'mid thorns!
Amen.
V. I made an unfailing light to arise in heaven.
R. And as amist I overspread the whole earth.
V. O Lady, aid, etc. (with the prayer as above).
At Compline
May Jesus Christ, thy Son, reconciled by thy prayers, O Lady! convert our hearts.
