Salve, sancta Facias nostri Redempfcoris,* In qua nitet


species divini decoris, Impressa panniculo nivei candoris
Dataque Veronicae signum ob amoris. Salve, decus saeculi,

tibi data, Et a nostris sensibus tolle colligata. Salve, robur fidei
nostra cbristianae, Destruens bareticos, qui sunt mentis
v;in», Horum auge meritum qui te credunt saiie, lllius effigitm
qui rex fit ex pane. Salve, nostrum gaudium in hac vita dura,
Labili et fragili cito peritura, Noh due ad propria, O felix
figura, Ad vid?ndam faciem quae est Christi

Hail, divine jewel! diamond so clear Whose bright shining


flames light the heavenly sphere: God of glory and might You
formed it so, Without the assistance of mortal below. That
colour so bright, which shines far away, Was always the
same, and will ne'er decay, Time may glide on, but Thou art
always new, Immortal, unchangeable, endlessly true. O
substance immortal, Divine Majesty, Guard, nourish, and
increase our purity; Dry up our tears, and out sorrows
remove, Bring us to glory to feast on your love. Be to us, O
Lord, a shield of defence, And preserve by Your grace our
innocence, That when we shall go from this vale of tears, We
may live with You for eternal years. Amen. Let us pray. Make
glad,. 0 Lord, the face of Thy servant, and draw our souls from
perdition, that, being protected by the contemplation of
Your adorable Face, we may trample under foot all carnal
desires, and behold You without fear, face to face, when You
will come in the clouds of heaven, with power and majesty to
judge us. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

HYMN. Hail! glorious Face of the Redeemer, Which shone on


the mount in Godlike splendour On the Blood-stained altar
of Calvary, Where pale Thou didst grow with anxiety, Thy
Face was all covered with sweat and blood, Which remained
on the towel as on the wood. As a pledge of Thy ever-blest
Passion, The blest towel retains Thy impression, As truly now
as on that day of grace, When on the linen You impressed
Your Face, Impress, also, O Lord, deep in my heart, That grace
which to Your beloved You impart. That when the awful hour
of death is near, When the spirit within me faints for fear,
You may eaii me with the voice of burning lo*&> And place
me near Thee in the realms above, With Thy angelic hosts my
voice to laise, In the never-ending hymns of praise. Amen, t.
