The Memorare

Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: In ages gone by, as all records declare Refrain First Line: Oh! be thou mindful, Mother most tender Lyrics: Chorus: Oh! be thou mindful, Mother most tender, Ne'er was thine aid implored in vain; Faint in the combat, lest we surrender, Do thou our falt-ring hearts sustain, Do thou our falt'ring hearts sustain. 1 In ages gone by, as all records declare, Not once hast thou slighted the suppliant's cry; Nor shall ages that follow thy mercies impair: To all that invoke thee, sweet Mother, thou'rt nigh, sweet Mother, thou'rt nigh. Oh! be thou mindful, Mother most tender, Ne'er was thine aid implored in vain; Faint in the combat, lost we surrender, Do thou our falt'ring hearts sustain, Do thou our falt'ring hearts sustain. 2 For this, in the midst of my sin and my dread, At the thought of thy mercies with hope I'm inspired, O Virgin! thy Son on the cross for me bled: Thy Son on the cross for my ransome expired, for my ransom expired. Oh! be thou mindful, Mother most tender, Ne'er was thine aid implored in vain; Faint in the combat, lest we surrender, Do thou our falt-ring hearts sustain, Do thou our falt'ring hearts sustain.

Christians! to the war

Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Christians! to the war! gather from afar Lyrics: 1 Christians! to the war! gather from afar; Hark! hark! the word is given; Jesus bids me fight "for God and the right," And for Mary, the Queen of heav'n, And for Mary, the Queen of heav'n. 2 Now first for thee, thou wicked world, Puffed up with godless pomp and pageant, Avenging grace, to humble thee, Can make the weakest arm its agent. Christians! to the war! gather from afar; Hark! hark! the word is given; Jesus bids us fight "for God and the right," And for Mary, the Queen of heav'n, And for Mary, the Queen of heav'n. 3 And thou, dark fiend, six thousand years The Bride of Christ in vain tormenting, Shall find our hate and scorn of thee Deep as thine own, and unrelenting. 4 Ah, self! so oft forgiven, thou Canst play no part but that of traitor; We spare thy life, but thou must bear The felon's brand, the captive's fetter. 5 But worse than devil, flesh, or world, Human respect like poison creeping, Chills and unnerves the host of Christ, When weary war-worn hearts are sleeping. 6 Christians! to the war! gather from afar Hark! hark! the word is given; Jesus bids me fight "for God and the right," And for Mary, the Queen of heaven.

Dear Angel, ever at my side

Appears in 55 hymnals First Line: Dear Angel, ever at my side! Lyrics: 1 Dear Angel, ever at my side! How loving must thou be, To leave thy home in heav'n to guide A little child like me. 2 Thy beautiful and shining face I see not, tho' so near; The sweetness of Thy soft, low voice, I am too deaf to hear. 3 I cannot feel thee touch my hand With pressure light and mild, To check me as my mother did When I was but a child. 4 But I have felt thee in my thoughts, Fighting with sin for me; And when my heart loves God, I know The sweetness is from thee. 5 And when, dear Spirit! I kneel down Morning and night to prayer, Something there is within my heart That tells me thou art there. 6 Then for thy sake, dear Angel! now More humble will I be; But I am weak, and, when I fall, Oh, weary not of me. 7 Oh, weary not, but love me still, For Mary's sake, thy Queen; She never tired of me though I Her worse of sons have been. 8 She will reward thee with a smile; Thou know'st what it is worth! For Mary's smiles each day convert The hardest hearts on earth. 9 Then love me, love me, Angel dear! And I will love thee more; And help me when my soul is cast Upon th' eternal shore. Used With Tune: [Dear Angel, ever at my side!]

Jesus, hail! who for my sake, Sweat blood from Mary's veins didst take, And shed it all for me, And shed it all for me. Oh, blessed be my Saviour's blood, My life, my light, my only good, My life, my light, my only good, To all eternity. 2 To endless ages let us praise Thee Precious Blood whose price could raise The world from wrath and sin, The world from wrath and sin. Whose streams our inward thirst appease, And heal the sinner's worst disease, And heal the sinner's worst disease, If he but bathe therein. 3 O, sweetest Blood that can implore Pardon of God, and heaven restore,-- The heaven which sin had lost, The heaven which sin had lost: While Abel's blood for vengeance pleads, What Jesus shed still intercedes, What Jesus shed still intercedes, For those who wrong Him most. 4 Ah! there is joy amid the Saints, And hell's despairing courage faints, When this sweet song we raise, When this sweet song we raise: Oh, louder, then, and louder still, Earth with one mighty chorus fill, Earth with one mighty chorus fill, The Precious Blood to praise!
