Hymn
Jesus, Lord of mercy,
Joyful hope of men,
Source of grace and sweetness,
How delightful then.
Jesus, hope of sinners,
Knowing all our mind,
Good to all who seek you
What to those who find.
Jesus, your sweet loving,
Mind's refreshing grace,
Feeding yet not cloying
Where hunger finds its place.
Stay, Oh! Stay, dear Jesus,
Newer light be near,
Drive away all darkness
Make life sweeter here.
Jesus you're all kindness,
Joy of every heart,
Jesus, you're all goodness
Love to us impart.
Flower of Mary, Jesus,
Love which makes us sweet,
Honour, praise and glory
Happiness complete. Amen.

He has visited his people and redeemed them.
He has raised up for us a mighty saviour *

those who were his prophets from of old.
A saviour who would free us from our foes, *
from the hands of all who hate us.
So his love for our fathers is fulfilled *
and his holy covenant remembered.
