by their very helplessness,
Oh, by Thy own great Name.

6.
Good Jesus, help! Sweet Jesus, aid
The souls to Thee most dear,
In prison for the debt unpaid
Of sins committed here.

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 assistance 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:
God's children to their God restore,
And to the Spirit His elect.

5.
Pray, then, as thou hast ever prayed;
Angels and souls, all look to thee;
God waits thy pray'rs, for He hath made
Those pray'rs His law of charity.

Unto him, for whom this day

Unto him, for whom, this day;
Juste judex ultionis
We in love and pity pray;
Donum fac remissionis

Pie Jesu Domine,
Dona ei requiem.

When at Judgement he shall stand,
Rex tremendae majestatis,
Grant him what Thy love hath planned,
Qui s
