Be my prayer, O Christ, to Thee,
And in love remember me.
HORÆ DE PASSIONE D. N. JESU CHRISTI
From a fourteenth-century MS., where it bears the title, “Hours of the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, compiled from the Prophets and the New Testament by the Blessed Pope Urban” (b. 1302, d. 1370).
(AD PRIMAM)
(Tu qui velatus facie)
I
Veiled was the glory of Thy face,
O Jesus, Lord of heavenly grace,
When mocking knees were bent in scorn,
And bitter stripes were meekly borne.
