II. PRAISE we our God! our voices raise, [90] The Twenty-first Sunday after Trinity. I. GOD moves in a mysterious way He plants His footsteps in the sea, K Deep in unfathomable mines He treasures up His bright designs, Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take, Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, His purposes will ripen fast, The bud may have a bitter taste, Blind unbelief is sure to err, To God the Father, God the Son, All honour by the Church be done, And by the heavenly host. [91] II. The hymn, Thou knowest, Lord, used for the Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity, will serve for the second hymn. The Twenty-second Sunday after Trinity. 1. JUBES, ET IN PRÆCEPS AQUIS. HERE hast Thou, Lord, Thy children set, To dwell in one abode; A brotherhood of exiles here, Who learn a brother's love. Who hurt their neighbour with ill tongue, Lo! earth herself in agony, The wicked scarce sustains, And yearns in travail to be free And we, too, in our spirits groan, Be endless praise, and aye remain To God, both One and Three, From Whom, in lowly hearts doth reign [92] II. O PRAY we for the Church's weal, Pray we, her guides may never cease Her people still in love and peace Pray we, that he who round her lurks May not, to aid his hostile works, Pray we, dissension may in vain With unbelief combine, By open force her towers to gain, Pray we, that no injurious foe Pray we, that no opprobrious spot, O Thou Whose love in man's distress Do Thou the Church, Thy household bless, And for Thy glory save! [93] The Twenty-third Sunday after Trinity. I. The hymn, O Lord, whate'er belongs to Thee, used for the Tenth Sunday after Trinity, will serve for the first hymn. II. SUDORE SAT. PAUL, thou hast drained thy Master's cup, And by thy sufferings hast filled up Not only on thy body borne Thy Master's mark impressed, So, holy Paul, thou liv'st no more, Doth live the Crucified. Lord! in Paul's teaching, while we may, Still let us more abide, And follow him on Thy blest way, Grant this, O Thou in Spirit One, Thrice Holy, One and Three, And ever be to Thee alone All praise eternally.
