THE HOLY SOULS
Ye Souls of the Faithful O vos fideles animae
Tr. by Father Caswall from an Italian Hymn Book Arr. by N. A. M.
Moderato
1.
Ye souls of the faithful, who sleep in the Lord, Who yet are shut out from your final reward: O! would I could lend you a.s.sistance to fly From prison below to your palace on high.
2.
O Father of mercies, Thine anger withhold; These works of Thy Hand in Thy mercy behold: Too oft from Thy path they have wandered aside, But Thee, their Creator, they never denied.
3.
O tender Redeemer, their misery see: Deliver the souls that were ransomed by Thee: Behold how they love Thee, despite of their pain: Restore them, restore them to favor again.
4.
O Spirit of Grace, Thou Consoler divine, See how for Thy presence they longingly pine, To lift, to enliven their sadness, descend; And fill them with peace and with joy in the end.

THE HOLY SOULS
O turn to Jesus, Mother, turn
Father Faber From a Slovak Hymnal Arr. by N. A. M.
Lento
1.
O turn to Jesus, Mother! Turn, And call Him by His tenderest names; Pray for Holy Souls that burn This hour amid the cleansing flames.
2.
Ah! They have fought a gallant fight; In death's cold arms they persevered; And after life's uncherry night, The arbour of their rest is neared.
3.
They are the children of thy tears; Then hasten, Mother, to their aid; In pity think each hour appears An age while glory is delayed.
4.
O Mary, let thy Son no more His lingering Spouses thus expect: G.o.d's children to their G.o.d restore, And to the Spirit His elect.
5.
Pray, then, as thou hast ever prayed; Angels and souls, all look to thee; G.o.d waits thy pray'rs, for He hath made Those pray'rs His law of charity.
