Refrain_The St. Gregory Hymnal and Catholic Choir Book

Where loyal hearts and true,

Stand ever in the light,

All rapture thro' and thro'

In God's most holy sight?

O Paradise! O Paradise!

The world is growing old;

Who would not be at rest and free

Where love is never cold;

O Paradise! O Paradise!

'Tis weary waiting here;

I long to be where Jesus is,

To feel, to see Him near;

O Paradise! O Paradise!

I want to sin no more;

I want to be as pure on earth

As on thy spotless shore;

O Paradise! O Paradise!

I greatly long to see

The special place my dearest Lord

In love prepares for me;

Whene'er we hear that glorious word.

Faith of our Fathers! Holy Faith!

We will be true to thee till death.

Our Fathers, chained in prisons dark,

Were still in heart and conscience free:

How sweet would be their children's fate,

If they, like them, could die for thee!

Both friend and foe in all our strife:

And preach thee too, as love knows how

By kindly words and virtuous life:

Long Live the Pope

Hymn for the Pope

Rt. Rev. Msgr. Hugh T. Henry, Litt. D.

H. G. Ganss

Maestoso

Long live the Pope! His praises sound again and yet again:

His rule is over space and time; His throne the hearts of men:

All hail! The Shepherd King of Rome, The theme of loving song:

Let all the earth his glory sing, And heav'n the strain prolong.

Beleaguered by the foes of earth, Beset by hosts of hell,

He guards the loyal flock of Christ, A watchful sentinel:

And yet, amid the din and strife, The clash of mace and sword,

He bears alone the shepherds staff, This champion of the Lord,

He bears alone the shepherds staff, This champion of the Lord.

His signet is the Fisherman's; No sceptre does he bear;

In meek and lowly majesty He rules from Peter's Chair:

And yet from ev'ry tribe and tongue, From clime and zone,

Three hundred million voices sing, The glory of his throne,

Then raise the chant, with heart and voice, In church and school and home:

"Long live the Shepherd of the Flock! Long live the Pope of Rome!"

Almighty Father, bless his work, Protect him in his ways,

Receive his pray'rs, fulfil his hopes and grant him "length of days,"

Receive his pray'rs, fulfil his hopes and grant him "length of days."

Of thanks and praise and endless fountain,

Whose life is one perpetual song,

High up the Saviour's holy mountain.

Refrain

Oh, Sion's songs are sweet to sing,

With melodies of gladness laden;

Hark! how the harps of angels ring,

Hail! Son of Man! Hail Mother Maiden

Blest is the Hope that holds to God,

In doubt and darkness still unshaken,

And sings along the heav'nly road,

Sweetest when most it seem forsaken.

Blest is the Love that cannot love

Aught that earth gives of best and brightest;

Whose raptures thrill like saints' above,

Most when its earthly gifts are lightest.

Acts of Faith, Hope and Contrition

Great God, whatever through Thy Church

From a Slovak Hymnal

Maestoso

1. Faith

Great God, whatever thro' Thy Church

Thou teachest to be true,

I firmly do believe it all,

And will confess it, too.

Thou never canst deceived be,

Thou never canst deceive,

For Thou art truth itself, and Thou

Dost tell me to believe.

2. Hope

My God, I firmly hope in Thee,

For Thou art great and good;

Thou gavest us Thine only Son

To die upon the Rood.

I hope thro' Him for grace to live

As Thy commandments teach,

And thro' Thy mercy, when I die

The joys of Heav'n to reach.

3. Love

With all my heart and soul and strength,

I love Thee, O my Lord,

For Thou art perfect, and all things

Were made by Thy blest Word.

Like me to Thine own image made,

My neighbor Thou didst make,

And as I love myself, I love

My neighbor for Thy sake.

4. Contrition

Most Holy God, my very soul

With grief sincere is mov'd,

Because I have offended Thee,

Whom I should e'er have lov'd.

Forgive me, Father; I am now

Resolved to sin no more,

And by Thy holy grace to shun

What made me sin before.

Dying, tortued and reviled.

Dying on the shameful tree,

All abandoned by Thy Father,

Thuo didst writhe in agony.

Thou didst purchase hope for me.

Then, by all that Thou didst suffer,

Grant me mercy in that day;

Help me, Mary, my sweet Mother,

While she wept her bitter loss;

See her tears how fast they flow

Down upon His mangled Body

Wounded Side and thorny Brow;

While His Hands and Feet she kisses,

Picture of immortal woe.

Oft, and oft His Arms and Bosom,

Fondly straining to her own;

Oft, her pallid lips imprinting

On each Wound of her dear Son:

Till at last in swoons of anguish,

Sense and consciousness are gone.
