to be called King in derision,
to be spit upon,

to be smitten on the Head with the reed,
to be stripped of the purple.

VI.

That Thou deignedst to be bound to a column in the judgment-hall,

to be beaten with rods, to be scourged,
to be baptized with a baptism of blood,
to suffer bruises and wounds,

to be demanded with clamour for crucifixion, to be exhibited as a spectacle of woe,

BEHOLD THE MAN!

to be cried out against the more vehemently, to be condemned to the Cross.

VII.

GOLGOTHA.

That Thou deignedst to be laden with the Cross, to be led to the place of punishment,

to sink under the Cross,

to have myrrh given Thee to drink. to endure the shame of being stripped, the agony of being extended on the Cross, to be transfixed with nails,

to have Thy Hands and Feet pierced,
to be crucified between two thieves,

to be reckoned among the transgressors,
to be railed on by the passers by,
to be blasphemed by the very thieves.

VIII.

That Thou deignedst to be forsaken of God, to be mocked when calling on God,

to thirst, to have vinegar given Thee to drink, to bow the Head, to give up the Ghost, to have Thy Side pierced with a spear, to be blasphemed after death,

to be called a deceiver,

to suffer unknown sufferings.

By Thy woes, which I the unworthy one here commemorate,

deliver my soul from the woes of hell!

The Seven Last Words.

I. FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.

2. WOMAN, BEHOLD THY SON!

3. TO-DAY SHALT THOU BE WITH ME IN PARADISE.

4. ELI, ELI.

5. I THIRST.

6. IT IS FINISHED.

7. FATHER, INTO THY HANDS I COMMEND

MY SPIRIT.

(1) O Thou, who didst deign

that Thy glorious Head should be wounded, forgive thereby whatever, by the senses of my head, I have sinned.

(2) That Thy holy Hands should be pierced, forgive thereby, whatever I have done amiss by unlawful touch, or unlawful operation.

(3) That Thy precious Side should be opened, forgive thereby whatever I have offended by unlawful thoughts,

in the heat of lust.

(4) That Thy blessed Feet should be nailed fast, forgive thereby whatever I have done by the means of feet swift to evil.

(5) That Thy whole Body should be stretched on the cross,

forgive thereby whatever iniquity I have
committed

by the means of all my members.

And I, too, O Lord, am wounded in soul;
behold the multitude,

the length, the breadth, the depth,
of my wounds;

and by Thine, heal mine.

(3)

(4)

the streams of Water and Blood,

the begging of Thy Body,

(5)

Thy taking down from the Cross,

(6)

(7)

Thy Burial in the garden of another,

Thy three days' sepulture.

By all these things I remind Thee

and beseech Thee.

I pray Thee that Thou wouldst deign to offer all these things to Thy Father, for my sake;

even all the bitter sufferings which Thou barest; and the Love above all

by which Thou barest them.

THE GLORIFICATION.

We praise Thee for

Thy triumph over Principalities

and powers of Darkness,

and making a shew of them openly in Thyself; for Thy mighty Resurrection;

(1) Thy appearance to S. Mary Magdalene, (2) to the women,

(3) to S. Peter,

(4) to the two that went to Emmaus,

(5) to the ten without S. Thomas,

(6) to the Eleven,

(7) to those at the sea of Tiberias,
(8) to S. James,

(9) to the Five Hundred,

(10) in Bethany.

We praise Thee for

Thy Glorious Ascension,

Thy Session at the Right Hand,
Thy giving of gifts,

Thy continual pleading for us,
Thy return to Judgment.

Thanksgiving for the Holy Ghost.

OME, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire,

Co

And lighten with celestial fire;

Thou the Anointing Spirit art,

Who dost Thy sevenfold gifts impart.

We would thankfully commemorate,
in the Old Testament,

(1) Thy moving upon the face of the waters,
(2) Thy sending forth into all things living,
(3) Thy Inspiration of man,

of Bezaleel,

of the Seventy Elders,

(4) Thy descent upon the Prophets.
