2. Hark! the loud celestial hymn, And with white-robed martyrs follow;
Angel choirs above are raising; And from morn till set of sun,
Cherubim and Seraphim, Through the Church the song goes on.
In unceasing chorus praising;
Fill the heavens with sweet accord; 4. Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy! Holy! Holy Lord. Holy Spirit, Three we name Thee,
While in essence only One,
3. Lo! the apostolic train

:1
Undivided God we claim Thee;
Join Thy Sacred Name to hallow; And adoring bend the knee,
Prophets swell the loud refrain, While we own the mystery.

2. And so to thee, my Mother,


With filial faith I call,—
heard or known a - ny - one who sought thee, For Jesus dying gave thee,
As Mother to us all.—
To thee, 0 Queen of virgins,
0 Mother meek, to thee—
I run with trustful fondness,
Like child to mother's knee.
3. See at thy feet a sinner,
Groaning and weeping sore—
Ali! throw thy mantle o'er me,
And let me stray no more.
Thy Son has died to save me;
And from His throne on high,
His Heart this moment yearneth,
For even such as I.
4. All, all His love remember,
And, oh! remember too,
How prompt I am to purpose,
How slow and frail to do.
Yet scorn not my petitions,
But patiently give ear;
And help me, 0 my Mother,
Most loving and most dear.

God's Truth and Justice to defend;
Driving the powers of evil back,
Till dawns the day when wars shall end.

Unsheathed in battle for the Lord.

In steadfast souls that pray and serve,
Praised be our God with changeless Hope,
His law of love may all observe.
Sword of the Spirit, blessed Sword,
Unsheathed in battle for the Lord.
4. Let us be strengthened in the Lord;
Put on the armour of His Might,
While the stout Shield of Holy Faith
Protects us in the furious fight.
Sword of the Spirit, saving Sword,
Unsheathed in battle for the Lord.
5. Christ, the Great Captain, leads the way;
Like soldiers brave, we follow Him;
King of all nations, Prince of Peace,—
His glory naught shall ever dim.
Sword of the Spirit, Victor Sword,
By thee we'll conquer for the Lord!

And offer thee our roses And lay them round thy footstool,
In garlands day by day; Before our Infant King.
While from our Father's garden, For nestling in thy bosom,
With loving hearts and bold, God's Son was fain to be,
We gather to thine honour, The Child of thy Obedience
Buds white and red and gold. And spotless purity.

Each myst'ry blends with thine, Red roses cast we down,
The sacred life of Jesus But let thy fingers weave them
In ev'ry step divine. Into a worthy crown.
Thy soul was His fair garden, For how can we poor sinners
Thy virgin breast His throne, Do aught but weep with Thee,
Thy thoughts, His faithful mirror, When in thy train we follow
Reflecting Him above. Our God to Calvary.

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS
1. Pray while you sing. St. Augustine says, "He prays twice who sings his prayer".
2. Hymns well studied as to text and meaning will be sung with joy and devotion.
Our fervor and sense of thoroughness should prompt us to learn hymns in their
entirety.
Love to sing as many verses as the liturgical program permits.
3. The secret of good congregational singing is a detailed rehearsal outside the sacred
functions. Encourage hearty singing. As St. Thomas Aquinas in his "Lauda
Lively Sion," exhorts us,
"Let your praise be full, sonorous;
Clear and joyful sound the chorus;
Jubilation of the soul."
4. Observe breath marks and indications of tempo. Insist on clear diction and regular
time. Transpose hymns to -suit your choir.
5. Conductors should use conventional gestures when beating time.

6. All these hymns except Gregorian Chants may be sung in 4 part harmony.
7. There are three approved styles of hymn singing:
(a) Direct or continuous—The same group sings every verse.
(b) 1ntip/zonal—Two large groups such as Choir and Congregation alternate
verse by verse.
Do - mi - nus, see - re, (c) Responorial—A soloist or, - better still, two or more chanters, sing a verse
and the full Choir or Congregation responds with the next verse or refrain.
Thus, solos without participation of Choir, ordinarily are not approved.
8. In Gregorian Chant:
(a) = I beat; = 2 beats. All beats are theoretically equal in duration.
(b) Notes marked thus are slightly lengthened.
(c) Retard and observe aause at the full bars. Keep a steady tempo.
(d) Group the notes in free succession of 2 and 3 measure. Use smooth
legato style, avoiding any weak or rough notes.
Slow and sustained 9. Every loyal choirmaster will uphold the Church's laws on sacred music as set
forth in the Motu Proprio of Pope Pius X. This document may be had as a
separate pamphlet; or it may be found in the White List of the Society of St.
Gregory, a publication which gives much information of practical value to every
choirmaster and organist.
N.B.—Phonograph records of these hymns, for home use, or to facilitate teaching in
pie bern schools, will be made if there is sufficient demand.
