TERCE

HYMN

Breathe on me, breath of God,
fill me with life anew,
that I may love the things You love,
and do what You would do.

Breathe on me, breath of God,
until my heart is pure,
until with You I have one will,
to live and to endure.

Breathe on me, breath of God,
my soul with grace refine,
until this earthly part of me,
glows with Your fire divine.

Breathe on me, breath of God,
so I shall never die,
but live with You the perfect life
in Your eternity.
Edwin Hatch, 1835-1889, alt. Evelyn Brokish, OSF; Yattendon 46

Come, Holy Ghost, who ever One
Art with the Father and the Son,

With thy full flood of holiness.

With all our powers, thy praise be sung;
And love light up our mortal frame,
Till others catch the living flame.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord most high,
Who with the Holy Ghost and thee
Doth live and reign eternally.

Psalm 118
Confitemini Domino

I

Give thanks to the Lord for he is good,
for his love endures for ever.

Let the sons of Israel say:
His love endures for ever.

Let the sons of Aaron say:
His love endures for ever.

Let those who fear the Lord say:
His love endures for ever.

I called to the Lord in my distress;
he answered and freed me.

The Lord is at my side; I do not fear.
what can man do against me?

The Lord is at my side as my helper;
I shall look down on my foes.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in men;

it is better to take refuge in the Lord
than to trust in princes.

II

The nations all encompassed me;
in the Lord's name I crushed them.

They compassed me, compassed me about;
in the Lord's name I crushed them.
