GENERAL, The Rosary, The Glorious Mysteries
By the first bright Easter Day
For the Joyful Mysteries see Hymn No. 86
C. M. Caddell From a Slovak Hymnal Arr. by N. A. M.
Allegro moderato
1. The Resurrection
By the first bright Easter day, When the stone was rolled away; By the glory round Thee shed At Thy rising from the dead.
Refrain King of Glory, hear our cry; Make us soon Thy joy to see, Where enthroned in majesty Countless angels sing to Thee.
2. The Ascension
By Thy parting blessing giv'n, As Thou didst ascend to Heav'n, By the cloud of living light That received Thee out of sight.
3. The Descent of the Holy Ghost
By the rus.h.i.+ng sound of might Coming down from heaven's height; By the cloven tongues of fire, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire.
4. The a.s.sumption of our Lady
See the Virgin Mother rise, Angels bear her to the skies; Mount aloft, imperial Queen, Plead on high the cause of men!
5. The Coronation of our Lady
Mary reigns upon the throne Preordained for her alone; Saints and angels round her sing, Mother of our G.o.d and King.

GENERAL, Evening Hymn
Sweet Saviour! bless us ere we go
Father Faber Nicola A. Montani
Andante ma non troppo
1.
Sweet Saviour! Bless us ere we go; Thy word into our minds instill; And make our lukewarm hearts to glow With lowly love and fervent will.
Refrain Thro' life's long day and deaths dark night, O gentle Jesus! be our light; Jesus! be our light.
2.
The day is done; its hours have run; And Thou hast taken count of all, The scanty triumphs grace hath won, The broken vow, and frequent fall.
3.
Grant us, dear Lord! From evil ways True absolution and release; And bless us more than in past days With purity and inward peace.
4.
For all we love, the poor, the sad, The sinful, unto Thee we call; Oh let Thy mercy make us glad; Thou art out Jesus and our All.

GENERAL, Evening Hymn
As fades the glowing orb of day Jam sol recedit igneus
Translated by T. J. Potter S. Webbe (1740-1816)
Moderato
1.
As fades the glowing orb of day, To Thee, great source of light, we pray; Blest Three in One, to ev'ry heart Thy beams of life and love impart.
2.
At early dawn, at close of day, To Thee our vows we humbly pay; May we, 'mid joys that never end, With Thy bright saints in homage bend.
