All thy people are forgiven through the virtue of thy blood: opened is the gate of heaven, peace is made 'twixt us and God. 3 Jesus, hail!

They sing, because thou art their Sun; Lord, send a beam on me; for where heav'n is but once begun there alleluias be. 3 How great a being, Lord, is thine, which doth all beings keep!
