4. Eternal Shepherd, Who Thy flock

In Thy pure Font dost lave,
Where souls are cleans'd, and all their guilt

Buried as in a grave;-
5. Jesu, Who to the Cross wast nail'd,

Our countless debt to pay ;
Jesu, Who gavest forth Thy Blood,

To wash our stains away;
6. O, from the wretched death of sin

Keep us, so shalt Thou be
The everlasting Paschal joy

Of all new-born in Thee.
7. Praise to the Father, and the Son

Who from the dead arose :
Praise to the blessed Comforter,

While age on ages flows. Alleluia.

HEBREWS, xiii. 20, 21.
68 FATHER of peace, and God of love,

We own Thy power to save,
That pow'r by which our Shepherd rose,

Victorious o'er the grave. 2. Him from the dead Thou brought'st again,

When, by His sacred Blood,
Confirm'd and seal'd for evermore,

Th' eternal Cov'nant stood.
3. O Thou, whose Spirit seal'd our souls,

Preserve them from all ill,
That our weak hearts no more may stray,

But keep Thy precepts still:
4. That to perfection's sacred height

We nearer still may rise;

And all we think, and all we do,

Be pleasing in Thine eyes.
5. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

The God whom we adore,
Be glory ; as it was,

is

now, And shall be evermore.

Alleluia !

That, through the ages all along,
This may be our endless song;

Praise to Thy eternal merit,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit ! Alleluia.
