XXVI. THE THREE PEALS OF THE ANGELUS.
Toll at the hour of dawn!
When the busy day hath begun,
That Christians may kneel in life's early morn
To Mary's incarnate Son;
For at midnight hour St. Gabriel spoke,
And Christ was conceived ere morning broke.
Hail Mary, full of grace!
When the busy day hath begun,
That Christians may kneel in life's early morn
To Mary's incarnate Son;
For at midnight hour St. Gabriel spoke,
And Christ was conceived ere morning broke.
Hail Mary, full of grace!
Toll at the mid-day hour!
Let the bell toll loud and long,
For the Sun hath risen with a burning power,
And the world and the flesh are waxing strong.
Through the long hours of the sultry day,
Stay with Thy children, Jesus, stay.
Hail Mary, full of grace!
Let the bell toll loud and long,
For the Sun hath risen with a burning power,
And the world and the flesh are waxing strong.
Through the long hours of the sultry day,
Stay with Thy children, Jesus, stay.
Hail Mary, full of grace!

Toll at the fall of eve!
When the busy day is done,
Lest Jesus thy soul in corruption leave,
Call yet again on Mary's Son;
For at fall of eve, 'mid the gathering gloom,
His body was laid in S. Joseph's tomb.
Hail Mary, full of grace!
When the busy day is done,
Lest Jesus thy soul in corruption leave,
Call yet again on Mary's Son;
For at fall of eve, 'mid the gathering gloom,
His body was laid in S. Joseph's tomb.
Hail Mary, full of grace!
Toll for each hour of prayer!
Toll at morning, noon, and night;
Let the loud church-bells, like the angel, declare
The dawn of the world's true Light;
Till the chimes that inspired our childhood's faith
Are the requiem rung o'er the couch of death.
Hail Mary, full of grace!
Toll at morning, noon, and night;
Let the loud church-bells, like the angel, declare
The dawn of the world's true Light;
Till the chimes that inspired our childhood's faith
Are the requiem rung o'er the couch of death.
Hail Mary, full of grace!
