One holy Name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses With ev'ry grace endued. 3 'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. 4 Yet she on earth hath union With God, the Three-in-One, And with the saints, communion With those whose rest is won. O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with thee.

The very hairs, his Word declares, upon my head he numbers. By night and day God is my stay; he never sleeps nor slumbers. 3 Lord, this I ask, O hear my plea, deny me not this favor: when Satan sorely troubles me, then do not let me waver. O guard me well, my fear dispel, fulfill your faithful saying: all who believe by grace receive an answer to their praying. 4 When life's brief course on earth is run and I this world am leaving, grant me to say, "Your will be done," your faithful Word believing.
