dost murmur in Thy Sleep
Of sorrow and of love.

3.
When Mary bids Thee sleep
Thou sleep'st, Thou wakest when she calls;
Thou art content upon her lap,
Or in the rugged stalls.

4.
Saint Joseph takes Thee in his arms,
And smoothes Thy little cheek,
Thou lookest up in to his face
So helpless and so meek.

5.
Yes! Thou art what Thou seem'st to be,
A thing of smiles ands tears;
Yet Thou art God, and Heav'n and earth
Adore Thee with their fears.

HOLY COMMUNION
Acts of Faith, Hope and Contrition

Great God, whatever through Thy Church

From a Slovak Hymnal

Maestoso

1. Faith
Great God, whatever thro' Thy Church
Thou teachest to be true,
I firmly do believe it all,
And will confess it, too.
Thou never canst deceived be,
Thou never canst deceive,
For Thou art truth itself, and Thou
Dost tell me to believe.

2. Hope
My God, I firmly hope in Thee,
For Thou art great and good;
Thou gavest us Thine only Son
To die upon the Rood.
I hope thro' Him for grace to live
As Thy commandments teach,
And thro' Thy mercy, when I die
The joys of Heav'n to reach.

3. Love
With all my heart and soul and strength,
I love Thee, O my Lord,
For Thou art perfect, and all things
Were made by Thy blest Word.
Like me to Thine own image made,
My neighbor Thou didst make,
And as I love myself, I love
My neighbor for Thy sake.

4. Contrition
Most Holy God, my very soul
With grief sincere is mov'd,
Because I have offended Thee,
Whom I should e'er have lov'd.
Forgive me, Father; I am now
Resolved to sin no more,
And by Thy holy grace to shun
What made me sin before.

HOLY COMMUNION

O Lord, I am not worthy

Nicola A. Montani

Lento con espressione

1.
O Lord, I am not worthy
That Thou shoud'st come to me;
But speak the words of comfort,
My spirit healed shall be.

2.
And humbly I'll receive Thee,
The Bridegroom of my soul,
No more by sin to grieve Thee,
Or fly Thy sweet control.

3.
O Mighty Eternal Spirit
Unworthy tho' I be
Prepare me to receive Him
And trust the Word to me.

HOLY COMMUNION

Jesus, Thou art coming

Acts before Communion
From a Slovak Hymnal

Moderato

1.
Jesus Thou art coming,
Holy as Thou art
Thou the God who made me,
To my sinful heart.
Jesus, I believe it
On Thy only word;
Kneeling I adore Thee
As my King and Lord.

2.
Who am I, my
