HYMN

Hail, Solomon's
Throne!
Pure Ark of the law,
Fair Rainbow and Bush,
Which the patriarch saw!

Hail, Gedeon's Fleece!
Hail, blossoming rod!
Samson's sweet Honeycomb!
Portal of God!

Well-fitting it was
That a Son so divine
Should preserve from all touch
Of original sin,

Nor suffer by smallest
Defect to be stained
That Mother, whom He
For Himself had ordained.

Amen.

V. I dwell in the highest.

R. And my throne is on the pillar of the clouds.

V. O Lady, aid, etc. (with the prayer as above).

At Sext

V. O Lady, make speed etc.
