St George's East Ivanhoe Website

Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendour,
first-begotten from the dead,
Thou alone, our strong Defender,
liftest up Thy people’s head.
alleluia, alleluia,
Jesus, true and living Bread!

Here our humble homage pay we,
here in loving reverence bow;
here for faith’s discernment pray we,
lest we fail to know thee now:
alleluia, alleluia
thou are here we ask not how.

Though the lowliest form doth veil thee
as of old in Bethlehem,
here as there thine angels hail thee,
branch and flower of Jesse’s stem;
alleluia, alleluia,
we in worship join with them.

Paschal Lamb! Thine off’ring finished
once for all when Thou wast slain,
in its fullness undiminished
shall forevermore remain.
alleluia, alleluia
cleansing souls from every stain.

Great High Priest of our profession,
through the veil thou enteredst in;
by Thy mighty intercession
grace and mercy Thou dost win.
alleluia, alleluia,
only sacrifice for sin.

Life-imparting heavenly manna,
stricken Rock, with streaming side,
heaven and earth with loud hosanna
worship Thee, the Lamb who died.
alleluia, alleluia,
risen, ascended, glorified!

3 Be merciful to | me O | Lord:

4 O make glad the | soul of • your | servant:
for I put my | hope in | you O | Lord.

5 For you Lord are | good • and for | giving:
of great and continuing kindness to | all who | call up| on you.
6 Hear my | prayer O | Lord :
and give heed to the | voice • of my | suppli | cation.

7 In the day of my trouble I | call up |on you:
for | you will | surely | answer.
8 Among the gods there is none like | you O | Lord:
nor are there | any | deeds like | yours.

9 All the nations you have made shall come and | worship • be| fore you:
O Lord they shall | glori | fy your | name.
10 For you are great and do | marvel- lous | things:
and | you a | lone are | God.

16 Turn to me and be merciful
give your | strength • to your | servant:
and | save the | son of • your | handmaid.
17 Show me some token | of your | goodness:
that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed
because you Lord are my | helper | and my | comforter.

 

O nata lux de lumine,
Jesu redemptor saeculi,
Dignare clemens supplicum
Laudes precesque sumere.

Qui carne quondam contegi
Dignatus es pro perditis,
Nos membra confer effici
Tui beati corporis.

O Light born of Light,
Jesus, redeemer of the world,
with loving-kindness deign to receive
suppliant praise and prayer.

Thou who once deigned to be clothed in flesh
for the sake of the lost,
grant us to be members
of thy blessed body.
