St Patrick's Breastplate

Alexander, 1818-95 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #159 (1986) Meter: Irregular Topics: Procession First Line: I bind unto myself today Lyrics: 1 I bind unto myself today The strong name of the Trinity, By invocation of the same, The Three in One, and One in Three. 2 I bind this day to me for ever, By power of faith, Christ’s Incarnation; His baptism in Jordan river; His death on Cross for my salvation; His bursting from the spicèd tomb; His riding up the heavenly way; His coming at the day of doom; I bind unto myself today. 3 I bind unto myself the power Of the great love of Cherubim; The sweet 'Well done' in judgement hour; The service of the Seraphim, Confessors' faith, Apostles' word, The Patriarchs' prayers, the Prophets' scrolls, All good deeds done unto the Lord, And purity of virgin souls. 4 I bind unto myself today The virtues of the star-lit heaven, The glorious sun’s life-giving ray, The whiteness of the moon at even, The flashing of the lightning free, The whirling wind’s tempestuous shocks, The stable earth, the deep salt sea, Around the old eternal rocks. 5 I bind unto myself today The power of God to hold and lead, His eye to watch, his might to stay, His ear to hearken to my need. The wisdom of my God to teach, His hand to guide, his shield to ward; The word of God to give me speech, His heavenly host to be my guard. 6 I bind unto myself the name, The strong name of the Trinity; By invocation of the same, The Three in One, and One in Three. Of whom all nature hath creation; Eternal Father, Spirit, Word: Praise to the Lord of my salvation, Salvation is of Christ the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: ST PATRICK'S BREASTPLATE

Hail Mary, full of grace. 3 Wherefore let all faithful people Tell the honour of her name, Let the Church in her foreshadowed Part in her thanksgiving claim; What Christ's Mother sang in gladness Let Christ's people sing the same.

Hail Mary, full of grace. 5 *May the Mother's intercessions On our homes a blessing win, That the children all be prospered, Strong and fair and pure within, Following our Lord's own footsteps, Firm in faith and free from sin. Hail Mary, full of grace. 6 *For the sick and for the agèd, For our dear ones far away, For the hearts that mourn in secret, All who need our prayers today, For the faithful gone before us, May the holy Virgin pray. Hail Mary, full of grace. 7 Praise, O Mary, praise the Father, Praise thy Saviour and thy Son, Praise the everlasting Spirit, Who hath made thee ark and throne; O'er all creatures high exalted, Lowly praise the Three in One. Hail Mary, full of grace. Languages: English Tune Title: DEN DES VATERS SINN GEBOREN

Judd Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #192 (1986) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Procession Lyrics: 1 Sons of the Holy One bright with his splendour, Wakened to life at creation's new day, First to uplift in the joy of surrender Spirits to worship and wills to obey. 2 Armies of Michael, a heavenly wonder, Crashed to the onset with evil on high, Till the proud angel, o'ercome by their thunder, Dropped on his darkening wings from the sky. 3 Stars of the morn, for creation returning Praise to the wisdom ordaining the whole, Hushed their glad songs, in amazement discerning God's very likeness in man's living soul. 4 Sentries of Paradise, knew ye no sorrow, Guarding the way with a flame of the sword? Visioned ye not on a glorious morrow Man by a tree to his Eden restored? 5 Gabriel came with his high salutation, Burning with ardour and eager in flight. 'Ave Maria!' The dawn of salvation Rose at its music and banished our night. 6 See, then, my soul, on a stairway all golden Angels ascending, descending again! Sion is here, if our eyes were not holden, Praise would not fail for their service to men. 7 Praise God for Michael, in strife our defender, Praise him for Raphael, our healer and guide, Praise him for guardians, watchful and tender, True to their charges in need at their side. 8 Laud to thee, Father of spirits supernal! We with the angels adore thee, O Son! Comforter holy, proceeding, eternal, In thee be glory to God, Three in One. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: LIEBSTER IMMANUEL

Alleluya! 6 The golden evening brightens in the west; Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest: Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest. Alleluya! Alleluya! 7 But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day; The Saints triumphant rise in bright array: The King of glory passes on his way. Alleluya! Alleluya! 8 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluya! Alleluya!

Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluya, hark! they sing, Praising loud their heavenly King. 2 Who are these of dazzling brightness, These in God's own truth arrayed, Clad in robes of purest whiteness, Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade, Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand-- Whence comes all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honour long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph through the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified; Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These like priests have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will, Soul and body consecrated, Day and night to serve him still: Now, in God's most holy place Blest they stand before his face.
