HYMN VII.
[Jesu, show us Thy salvation]
“By the mystery of Thy holy incarnation; by Thy holy
nativity and circumcision; by Thy baptism, fasting,
and temptation; by Thine agony and bloody sweat;
by Thy cross and passion; by Thy precious death
and burial; by Thy glorious resurrection and ascension;
and by the coming of the Holy Ghost, good Lord, deliver us.”
Litany.
Jesu, show us Thy salvation,
(In Thy strength we strive with Thee,)
By Thy mystic incarnation,
By Thy pure nativity,
Save us Thou, our new Creator,
Into all our souls impart
Thy Divine unsinning nature,
Form Thyself within our heart.
(In Thy strength we strive with Thee,)
By Thy mystic incarnation,
By Thy pure nativity,
Save us Thou, our new Creator,
Into all our souls impart
Thy Divine unsinning nature,
Form Thyself within our heart.
By Thy first blood-shedding heal us;
Cut us off from every sin,
By Thy circumcision seal us,
Write Thy law of love within;
By Thy Spirit circumcise us:
Kindle in our hearts a flame;
By Thy baptism, Lord, baptize us
Into all Thy glorious name.
Cut us off from every sin,
By Thy circumcision seal us,
Write Thy law of love within;
By Thy Spirit circumcise us:
Kindle in our hearts a flame;
By Thy baptism, Lord, baptize us
Into all Thy glorious name.
By Thy fasting and temptation
Mortify our vain desires,
Take away what sense, or passion,
Appetite or flesh requires:
Arm us with Thy self-denial,
Every tempted soul defend,
Save us in the fiery trial,
Make us faithful to the end.

By Thy sorer suffering save us,
Save us when conform'd to Thee,
By Thy miseries relieve us,
By Thy painful agony;
When beneath Thy frown we languish,
When we feel Thine anger's weight,
Save us by Thine unknown anguish,
Save us by Thy bloody sweat.
Save us when conform'd to Thee,
By Thy miseries relieve us,
By Thy painful agony;
When beneath Thy frown we languish,
When we feel Thine anger's weight,
Save us by Thine unknown anguish,
Save us by Thy bloody sweat.
By that highest point of passion,
By Thy sufferings on the tree,
Save us from the indignation
Due to all mankind, and me:
Hanging, bleeding, panting, dying,
Gasping out Thy latest breath,
By Thy precious death's applying
Save us from eternal death.
By Thy sufferings on the tree,
Save us from the indignation
Due to all mankind, and me:
Hanging, bleeding, panting, dying,
Gasping out Thy latest breath,
By Thy precious death's applying
Save us from eternal death.
From the world of care release us,
By Thy decent burial save,
Crucified with Thee, O Jesus,
Hide us in Thy quiet grave:
By Thy power divinely glorious,
By Thy resurrection's power,
Raise us up o'er sin victorious,
Raise us up to fall no more.

Crucified with Thee, O Jesus,
Hide us in Thy quiet grave:
By Thy power divinely glorious,
By Thy resurrection's power,
Raise us up o'er sin victorious,
Raise us up to fall no more.
By the pomp of Thine ascending,
Live we here to heaven restored,
Live in pleasures never ending,
Share the portion of our Lord:
Let us have our conversation
With the blessed spirits above,
Saved with all Thy great salvation,
Perfectly renew'd in love.

Glorious Head, triumphant Saviour,
High enthroned above all height,
We have now through Thee found favour,
Righteous in Thy Father's sight:
Hears He not Thy prayer unceasing?
Can He turn away Thy face?
Send us down the purchased blessing,
Fulness of the gospel grace.

By the coming of Thy Spirit
As a mighty rushing wind,
Save us into all Thy merit,
Into all Thy sinless mind;
Let the perfect gift be given,
Let Thy will in us be seen,
Done on earth as 't is in heaven:
Lord, Thy Spirit cries Amen!
