Those who are wise

shall be like the stars for ever.

Offertory HymnBe Thou My Vision

Verse 1
Be Thou my Vision,
O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me,
Save that Thou art;
Thou my best thought
By day or by night,
Waking or sleeping,
Thy presence my light.Verse 2
Be Thou my Wisdom,
And Thou my true Word;
Thou ever with me
And I with Thee, Lord;
Thou my great Father,
And I Thy true son,
Thou in me dwelling,
And I with Thee one.

Christ, the power of God
and the wisdom of God.

Communion HymnÆterne sol qui lumine

1. Æterne sol, qui lumine
creata comples omnia,
suprema lux et mentium,
Te corda nostra concinunt.(1. Eternal Sun, who bless and fill
With splendor each created thing:
To You, our spirit’s highest light,
Our hearts with joy and wonder sing.)2. Tuo fovente Spiritu,
Hic viva luminaria
Fulsere, per quae saeculis
Patent salutis semitae.(2. Warmed by your Spirit’s kindling fire,
Here living lamps their radiance shone
And, by their light, in every age,
Salvation’s pathways are made known.)3. Quod verba missa caelitus,
natíva mens quod exhibet,
per hos ministros gratiæ
novo nitore claruit.(3. What words sent from on high may teach,
And what the natural mind may show,
Through these, your ministers of grace,
Has shined anew with brighter glow.)4. Horum coronæ particeps,
doctrina honestus lucida,
hic vir beatus splenduit
quem prædicamus laudibus.(4. This sharer in their crown of bliss,
For brilliant teaching won great fame;
Blessed man, who shone illustrious!
With praises we proclaim his name.)5. Ipso favente, quaesumus,
nobis, Deus, percurrere
da veritatis tramitem,
possimus ut te consequi.(5. Grant us, O God, helped by his prayers,
We pray, to run, both sure and fast,
The path of truth, and so arrive
To reach your very self at last.)
