2 O then with hymns of praise
These hallowed courts shall ring;
Our voices we will raise

The Three in One to sing;

And thus proclaim in joyful song,
Both loud and long, that glorious Name.

3 Here, gracious God, do Thou
For evermore draw nigh;
Accept each faithful vow,

And mark each suppliant sigh;
In copious shower on all who pray,
Each holy day, Thy blessings pour.

4 Here may we gain from heaven

The grace which we implore;
And may that grace, once given,
Be with us evermore,

Until that day when all the blest
To endless rest are called away.

Anon. (Latin, 7th or 8th Cent). Trans. by Rev. John Chandler, 1837

52 Spirit Divine, attend our prayers.
53 O God of hosts, the mighty Lord.
56 Open now thy gates of beauty.
60 Jesus, where'er Thy people meet.
62 Lord of the worlds above.
104 Before Jehovah's awful Throne.

302 Christ is made the sure Foundation.
304 The Church's one Foundation.
308 O 'twas a joyful sound to hear.
310 O where are kings and empires now.
312 Arise, O King of grace, arise.

3 Be present, Heavenly Father,

To give away this bride,
As Eve thou gav'st to Adam
Out of his own pierced side.

4 Be present, Son of Mary,

To join their loving hands,
As Thou didst bind two natures
In Thine eternal bands.

5 Be present, Holiest Spirit,

To bless them as they kneel,
As Thou for Christ, the Bridegroom,
The heavenly Spouse dost seal,

6 O spread Thy pure wing o'er them,
Let no ill power find place,
While onward to Thy presence
Their hallowed path they trace.
Rev. John Keble, 1857: verse 3, line 1; verse 6, lines 3, 4, alt.
