Tuba mirum spargens sonum Per sepulchra regionum, Coget omnes ante thronum.

Mors stupebit, et natura, Cum resurget creatura, Judicanti responsura. Liber scriptus proferetur, In quo totum continetur, Unde mundus judicetur.

Judex ergo cum sedebit,
Quidquid latet, apparebit:
Nil inultum remanebit.
Quid sum miser tunc dicturus?
Quem patronum rogaturus,
Cum vix justus sit securus?

Rex tremendæ majestatis,
Qui salvandos salvas gratis,
Salva me, fons pietatis.
Recordare, Jesu pie,
Quod sum causa tuæ viæ:
Ne me perdas illa die.
Quærens me, sedisti lassus
Redemisti, crucem passus :
Tantus labor non sit cassus.
Juste Judex ultionis,
Donum fac remissionis
Ante diem rationis.

Ingemisco tamquam reus :
Culpa rubet vultus meus:
Supplicanti parce, Deus.
Qui Mariam absolvisti,
Et latronem exaudisti,
Mihi quoque spem dedisti.

Preces meæ non sunt dignæ :
Sed tu bonus fac benigne,
Ne perenni cremer igne.
Inter oves locum præsta,
Et ab hædis me sequestra,
Statuens in parte dextra.

Hark! the trump, with thrilling

tone,

From sepulchral regions lone,
Summons all before the throne:
Time and death it doth appal,
To see the buried ages all
Rise to answer at the call.
Now the books are open spread ;
Now the writing must be read,
Which condemns the quick and
dead:

Now, before the Judge severe
Hidden things must all appear;
Nought can pass unpunish'd here.
What shall guilty I then plead ?
Who for me will intercede,
When the saints shall comfort
need?

King of dreadful majesty !
Who dost freely justify !
Fount of pity, save thou me!
Recollect, O love divine!
'Twas for this lost sheep of thine
Thou thy glory didst resign:
Satest wearied seeking me;
Sufferedst upon the tree :
Let not vain thy labour be.

Judge of justice, hear my prayer!
Spare me, Lord, in mercy spare!
Ere the reckoning-day appear.

Lo! thy gracious face I seek;
Shame and grief are on my cheek;
Sighs and tears my sorrow speak.
Thou didst Mary's guilt forgive;
Didst the dying thief receive;
Hence doth hope within me live.
Worthless are my prayers, I know;
Yet, oh, cause me not to go
Into everlasting woe.

Sever'd from the guilty band,
Make me with thy sheep to stand,
Placing me on thy right hand.

From Ps. lxviii. lxx.

O God, for the waters are come in even unto my

I stick fast in the mire of the deep, and there is no sure standing.

Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; shame hath covered my face.

I am become a stranger to my brethren, and an alien to the sons of my mother.

For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

How great troubles hast thou shewed me, many and grievous; and yet hast thou turned again and refreshed me, and hast brought me back from the depths of the earth.

Thou hast multiplied towards me thy magnificence; and hast turned again and comforted me.

I will praise the name of God with a canticle; and I will magnify him with praise.

For God will save Sion, and the cities of Judah shall be built up.

1 Composed in Latin for the English College at Rome, in the year 1839, by the Right Rev. Dr. Wiseman.

O almighty, everlasting God, who hast ordained that men shall be saved by one only true faith; look graciously upon our beloved country, which a deplorable heresy hath too long held captive under the yoke of error; dispel all darkness of ignorance, drive away all vain opinions of false doctrine, and dispose the minds of all to the reasonable obedience of the true faith, that they may return with joy into the bosom of our holy mother the Church. Through Christ our Lord.

O God, why hast thou cast us off unto the end: why is thy wrath enkindled against the sheep of thy pasture?

Remember thy congregation, which thou hast possessed from the beginning.

The sceptre of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; Mount Sion, in which thou hast dwelt.

Thou shalt arise and have mercy upon Sion: for it is time that thou have mercy upon her, yea, the time is come.

For thy servants have delighted in her stones, and they shall have compassion on the earth thereof.

And the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

For the Lord hath built up Sion, and he shall be seen in his glory.

He hath had regard unto the prayer of the humble, and hath not despised their petition.

Let these things be written for another generation, and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord.

When the people assemble together, and kings that they may serve the Lord.

The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be directed for ever.
