\"Norham<\/a><\/span>
\nThis is, I think, my favourite Lenten Office hymn. I cannot help but pair it with one of Turner’s magnificent sunrises. You can find the melody in the Liber hymnarius<\/a>.
\nThe third strophe makes an incisive petition: “Remove the things that, of ourselves, \/ We cannot reach, or put aside.” It reminds me of the prayer of Mère Yvonne-Aimée of Malestroit: “O my Jesus, do Thou in me whatsoever Thou desirest to find in me.”<\/em>
\nLauds II<\/strong>
\nThe darkness flees, and dew-kissed earth
\nSings welcome to the waking day;
\nHope holds to Christ the mirror high
\nTo catch the Dayspring’s healing ray!
\nYou fill with light this sacred time,
\nGive tears as well to purify;
\nGive flames of love to purge our hearts;
\nIn us your mercy magnify.
\nThe hidden wound whence flow our sins,
\nWash clean by bathing in the tide;
\nRemove the things that, of ourselves,
\nWe cannot reach, or put aside.
\nThe Day draws near when all re-blooms —
\nYour Day, O Christ, life-giving Lord!
\nWe too will joy, by your right hand
\nFrom death’s dark tomb to joy restored.
\nTo God, the loving Trinity,
\nLet earth and sky adoring bend;
\nAnd evermore from hearts renewed
\nLet songs fresh sprung of praise ascend. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
