3 That so, in nature's triple frame,
Each heavenly and each earthly name,
And things in hell's abyss abhorred,
May bend the knee and own him Lord.
4 Yea, Angels tremble when they see
How changed is our humanity;
That flesh hath purged what flesh had stained,
And God, the Flesh of God, hath reigned.
5 Be thou our joy and strong defence,
Who art our future recompense;
So shall the light that springs from thee
Be ours through all eternity.
6. O risen Christ, ascended Lord,
All praise to thee let earth accord,
Who art, while endless ages run,
With Father and with Spirit One.
Amen.
142
Tu Christe nostrum gaudium.
O CHRIST, our joy, to whom is given
A throne o'er all the thrones of heaven.
I thee, whose hand all things obey,
The world's vain pleasures pass away.
2 So, suppliants here, we seek to win
Thy pardon for thy people's sin,
That, by thine all-prevailing grace
Uplifted, we may seek thy face
3 And when, all heaven beneath thee bowed,
Thou com'st to judgement throned in cloud,
Then from our guilt wash out the stain
And give us our lost crowns again.
4 Be thou our joy and strong defence,
Who art our future recompense:
So shall the light that springs from thee
Be ours through all eternity.
5. O risen Christ, ascended Lord,
All praise to thee let earth accord,
Who art, while endless ages run,
With Father and with Spirit One.
Amen.
