My God, I believe in Thee, And all Thy Church doth teach, Because Thou hast said it And Thy word is true.
My God, I hope in Thee, For Grace and for glory, Because of Thy promises, Thy mercy, and Thy pow'r.
My God, because Thou art so good, I love Thee with all my heart, And for Thy sake. I love my neighbor as myself.
OUR MOTHER OF SORROWS Passiontide and B. V. M.
What a Sea of Tears and Sorrows O quot undis lacrymarum
Tr. by Rev. F. Campbell Ch. Gounod Arr. by N. A. M.
1. What a sea of tears and sorrows Did the soul of Mary toss To and fro upon its billows While she wept her bitter loss; In her arms her Jesus holding, Torn so newly from the Cross.
2. Oh, that mournful Virgin Mother, See her tears how fast they flow Down upon His mangled Body Wounded Side and thorny Brow; While His Hands and Feet she kisses, Picture of immortal woe.
3. Oft, and oft His Arms and Bosom, Fondly straining to her own; Oft, her pallid lips imprinting On each Wound of her dear Son: Till at last in swoons of anguish, Sense and consciousness are gone.
4. Gentle Mother, we beseech thee, By thy tears and troubles sore; By the death of thy dear Offspring, By the bloody Wounds He bore; Touch our hearts with that true sorrow Which affected thee of yore.

Blessed be God! Blessed be His Holy Name! Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true Man! Blessed be the Name of Jesus; Blessed be His most Sacred Heart, Blessed Jesus in the most Holy Sacrament of the Altar! Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary most holy! Blessed be her Holy and Immaculate Conception; Blessed be the Name of Mary, Virgin and Mother. Blessed be Saint Joseph her most chaste spouse. Blessed be God in His angels and in His Saints
The Lord's Prayer Our Father, Who Art in Heaven
Our Father Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name; Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, as it is heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail. Mary, full of Grace The Angelical Salutation
Hail Mary, full of grace; The Lord is with thee: Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners, now, And at the hour of our death. Amen.
