2 Ah! we shall meet no green like thine,
Erin! where we are going;

No waters to our eyes can shine
Like Shannon proudly flowing;
No sea-bays we can love so well
As that round Cove extending.
No fragrance like the bog-fire's smell
In evening's calm ascending.

3 Poor heart! God knows how sore and long
The fight hath been within it;
The battle lies not with the strong,

Or our love of home might win it,-
We could not bear from wife's dear eyes
Each day to miss the shining,
As oft she strove to hush the cries
Of babes in famine pining.

4 The very joy of all this earth,
The blessed name of Jesus,

They turned what was our holiest mirth
To Satan's snare to tease us.

He sent his troops, with food in hand,
To their false faith to woo us;
To take the blessing from our land,
And eternally undo us.

5 'Twas hard to watch the wasting child,
Nor take the bribe thus given;
Ah, me! a father's heart gone wild,
For earth might barter heaven,—
The men of stone, they watched their hour,
Darkness and light were striving;
But Jesus tempered hunger's power,
We conquered and are living.

6 And now into that sunset far

Across the western waters,
Freedom of faith and plenty's star

Lead Erin's sons and daughters.
Dear friends at home! whene'er ye grieve,
Prayer o'er the sea can find us,
And to our native land we leave

Blessing and love behind us.

Veni Creator.

1 VENI, Creator Spiritus,
Mentes tuorum visita,
Imple superna gratia
Quæ tu creasti pectora.

2 Qui diceris Paraclitus,
Altissimi donum Dei,
Fons vivus, ignis, charitas,
Et spiritalis unctio.

3 Tu septiformis munere Digitus Paternæ dexteræ, Tu rite promissum Patris, Sermone ditans guttura.

4 Accende lumen sensibus,

Infunde amorem cordibus,
Infirma nostri corporis
Virtute firmans perpeti.

5 Hostem repellas longius,
Pacemque dones protinus;
Ductore sic te prævio
Vitemus omne noxium.

6 Per te sciamus da Patrem, Noscamus atque Filium, Teque utriusque Spiritum Credamus omni tempore.

Te Deum laudamus.

TE Deum laudamus: te Dominum confitemur. Te æternum Patrem omnis terra veneratur. Tibi omnes Angeli; tibi cœli, et universæ potestates:

Tibi Cherubim et Seraphim, incessabili voce proclamant:

Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth:

Pleni sunt cœli et terra, majestatis gloriæ tuæ. Te gloriosus Apostolorum chorus.

Te Prophetarum laudabilis numerus. Te Martyrum candidatus laudat exercitus. Te per orbem terrarum, sancta confitetur Ecclesia.

Patrem immensæ majestatis.

Venerandum tuum verum et unicum Filium.
Sanctum quoque Paraclitum Spiritum.
Tu Rex gloriæ Christe.

Tu Patris sempiternus es Filius.

Tu ad liberandum suscepturus hominem, non horruisti Virginis uterum.

Tu devicto mortis aculeo, aperuisti credentibus regna cœlorum.

Tu ad dexteram Dei sedes: in gloria Patris. Judex crederis esse venturus.

*Te ergo quæsumus, tuis famulis subveni: quos pretioso sanguine redemisti.

Eterna fac cum Sanctis tuis, in gloria numerari.

Salvum fac populum tuum, Domine: et benedic hæreditati tuæ..

Here it is usual to kneel,

Et

rege cos, et extolle illos, usque in æternum. Per singulos dies, benedicimus te.

Et laudamus nomen tuum in sæculum: et in sæculum sæculi.

Dignare, Domine, die isto: sine peccato nos custodire.

Miserere nostri, Domine: miserere nostri. Fiat misericordia tua, Domine, super nos: quemadmodum speravimus in te.

In te, Domine, speravi; non confundar in

æternum.

O Salutaris Hostia.

1 O SALUTARIS Hostia,
Quæ cœli pandis ostium :
Bella premunt hostilia,
Da robur, fer auxilium.
2 Uni Trinoque Domino
Sit sempiterna gloria,
Qui vitam sine termino
Nobis donet in patria.
Amen.

80.

Tantum ergo Sacramentum.
1 TANTUM ergo Sacramentum
Veneremur cernui:

Et antiquum documentum
Novo cedat ritui;

Præstet fides supplementum
Sensuum defectui.

2 Genitori, Genitoque
Laus et jubilatio,

Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio:

Procedenti ab utroque

Compar sit laudatio.

Adeste Fideles.

1 ADESTE fideles,

Læti triumphantes:

Venite, venite in Bethlehem:
Natum videte

Regem angelorum:

Venite adoremus,

Venite adoremus,

Venite adoremus Dominum.

2 Deum de Deo,

Lumen de lumine,

Gestant puellæ viscera:
Deum verum,

Genitum, non factum:

Venite adoremus, &c.

3 Cantet nunc Io!

Chorus angelorum:

Cantet nunc aula cœlestium,

Gloria

In excelsis Deo!

Venite adoremus, &c.

4 Ergo qui natus

Die hodierna,

Jesu tibi sit gloria,

Patris æterni

Verbum caro factum !

Venite adoremus, &c.

Magnificat.

MAGNIFICAT anima mea Dominum.

Et exultavit spiritus meus: in Deo salutari

meo.

Quia respexit humilitatem ancillæ suæ : ecce enim ex hoc beatam me dicent omnes generationes.
