At Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus, etc., ring the little bell.

When you see the priest spread his hands over the chalice, you must give warning, by the bell, of the consecration which is about to be made. Then holding up the vestment with your left hand, and having the bell in your right, you must ring during the elevation of the host. As often as you pass by the blessed Sacrament, you must adore on your knees.

P. Per omnia sæcula sæculorum.

C.

Amen.

P. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem.

C. Sed libera nos a malo.

P. Per omnia sæcula sæculorum.

C. Amen.

P. Pax Domine sit semper vobiscum.
C. Et cum spiritu tuo.

P. Pax tecum.

C. Et cum spiritu tuo.

[Pausing a little, rise, and make adoration to the sacrament. The priest's communion being ended, be ready to give him wine and water. If there be communicants provide a towel, and say the con fiteor. After they have received, remove the book to the left hand of the altar; take away the towel from the communicants, if there be any, and return to your place.]

P.

C.

Dominus vobiscum.

Et cum spiritu tuo.

P. Per omnia sæcula sæculorum.

P. Ite: missa est: or, benedicamus Domino.

[Remove the book if it be left open; kneel and take the priest's blessings.]

P. Pater, et Filius, et Spiritus Sanctus. C. Amen.

P.

Dominus vobiscum.

C. Et cum spiritu tuo.

P. Initium (or, sequentia) sancti evangelii, etc.

C. Gloria tibi, Domini.

[At the end say, Deo gratias.]

Put out the candles, and lay up all decently and carefully.]

HYMN OF THANKSGIVING.

HOLY GOD, we praise Thy Name!
Lord of all, we bow before Thee!
All on earth Thy sceptre claim,
All in heaven above adore Thee!
Infinite Thy vast domain,
Everlasting is Thy reign.

Hark! the loud celestial hymn
Angel choirs above are raising,
Cherubim and Seraphim,

In unceasing chorus praising!

Fill the heavens with sweet accord:
Holy Holy Holy! Lord!

Lo! the Apostolic train

Join Thy sacred name to hallow!
Prophets swell the loud refrain,

And the white-robed Martyrs follow:
And from morn to set of sun
Through the Church the song goes on.

Holy Father, Holy Son,

Holy Spirit, Three we name Thee, While in essence only One

Undivided God, we claim Thee;

And adoring bend the knee,
While we own the mystery.

2.

PRAISE YE THE FATHER.

PRAISE ye the Father,

His power is everlasting,

Praise ye the Father,

Give thanks for all His benefits.

Sing forth your praises,

Let every heart be joyful; Praise ye the Father,

Great Ruler, kind and merciful.

Praise be to Him

Who hath shown His mighty pow'r.
Let every voice sound His praise
With exulting strains of gladness!
Great is the Lord,

Let His name be praised forever;

Come ye forth with your hearts attuned to sing,

Arise and praise ye the Father.

Glory to the Father!

To the great and mighty Ruler!

Glory to the Father,

Who alone hath the power to save!

Loudly let the chorus swell!

Loudly let the tuneful anthem ring!

Love and joy be now in ev'ry thankful heart! Oh, praise ye the Lord.

3.

NEARER MY GOD TO THEE.

NEARER, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!

E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me:

Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

Deep in Thy Sacred Heart,
Let me abide,

Thou that hast bled for me,
Sorrowed, and died;
Sweet shall my weeping be,
Grief surely leading me,
Nearer, my God to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.

Friends may depart from me,
Night may come down,
Clouds of adversity

Darken and frown;

Still through my tears I'll see

Hope gently leading me

Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer to Thee.

And when the goal is won,
How like a dream,

In the dim retrospect,
