unto My Name, and a pure ojjer-
And now, 0 Father, mindful of
the love
That bought us, once for all, on

Calvary's Tree,
And having with us Him that pleads
We here present, we here spread
orth to Thee

That only Offering perfect in
The one true, pure, immortal Sacrifice.
Look, Father, look on His
anointed Face,

And onlv look on us as found in
Look not on our ruisusings of Thy
Our prayer so languid, and our faith
For lo ! between our sins and then-

eward
We set the Passion of Thy Sox our
P And then for those, our dearest and
our best,

By this prevailing Presence we
appeal ;
0 fold them closer to Thv mercy s
O do Thine utmost lor their souls'

true weal ;
From tainting mischief keep them
wliite and 'clear.
" The centurion anv.cered c •

lam not worth-/ that 77
ome under my roof ; but speak ti
word only, and my ser . -
323 healed."

I am not worthy. Holy Lord,
That Thou shouldst come to me :
Speak but the Word, one gracio;
Can set the sinner free.

I am not worth v ; cold and bare
The lodging oi my soul ;
How canst Thou deign to enter there?
Lord, speak, and make me whole.

I am not worthy ; (cr) yet. mv God.
How can I s?.v Thee nav: f Blood
Thee, Who didst cive Thy Flesh and
My ransom-price to pay ?

O come ! in this sweet morning
hour
Feed me with Food Divine ;
An 1 fill with all Thv love and power
This worthless heart of mine.

Amen.
