And meekly in his Spirit live,
And in his love increase!
Till He convey us home,
Cry ev’ry soul aloud,
Come, thou desire of nations, come,
And take us all to God.
VIII.
WE are chiefly bound to praise thee for thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord: for he is the very Paschal Lamb, which was offered for us, and hath taken away the sin of the world; who by his death hath destroyed death, and by his rising to life again, hath restored to us everlasting life. Therefore with angels and archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious name, evermore praising thee and saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts, heaven and earth are full of thy glory. Glory be to thee, O Lord most high. Amen!
The Homily for Good Friday.
