Amphora
AMPHORA III Bewitched by sins and errors, By heresies defiled ; Avert the avenging terrors Of Thine insulted Child ! Schismatic from His Vicar, Despoilers of His flock : O Strike the saving liquor From out the barren rock ! IV Acknowledge our contrition ! Accept our sighs and tears ! Let English inanition Be lost in happier years ! On this stagnated water Evoke Thy glowing tide ! Our Church Thy worthy daughter, And His accepted Bride ! Amen. 67

AMPHORA III Pro Gente Anglicana I N great cathedral cities, In cloisters old and dim, Wherever worth or wit is, We raise the choral hymn. To GOD’S eternal Mother We lift our hearts of flame ; We join with one another To bless Her holy name. II O hear us, blessed Mary ! Thy graces send as dew, As kisses fond and faery Our spirits to renew ! O bid our sinful nation, The broken from the rod, By Thine initiation Soar subtly up to GOD ! I 66

AMPHORA III CHANT in cadence dark and deep The dread mirific Name, The corners of His robe that sweep The Universe with flame ! O chant in cadence softly sighed The SAVIOUR’S grace Who came And for our sins was crucified Upon the cross of shame ! O chant in cadence whispering The HOLY GHOST that poured On Mary’s bosom soft as spring The unction of the LORD ! In silence let our hearts adore The Mother-maid Divine, And all our vows like swallows soar To Her celestial shrine ! Amen. O 26

AMPHORA III E still, my soul, and let the sense Of Her intuitive influence Steal like the whisper of young rains Upon thy bleak and barren plains. By many a mental martyrdom Our sterile souls to Mary come. Who passeth through the surge and fire At last shall win to his desire. Thy grace for us sufficient still To smite the arbiters of ill Shall grant the exceeding great reward To look by Thee upon the LORD. Be still, my soul, whate’er assail ! Through Mary they shall not prevail ; And thou resigned in peace await Her peace at Her appointed date…

… how we strive to good And evil catches us and sways us, How from child-life and maidenhood Time creeps and springs on us and slays us ! III But all our feebleness in Thee Is firm, in Thee our ways are steady. Equal for bliss or agony Thou callest us—and we are ready. B 77

… calm and storm, in peace and strife, There is a lull ; be ours to scale Therein the pinnacles of life By greeting Thee with Mary hail ! III Some of us conquer and succeed ; Some in the battle flinch and fail : Thou art enough for either need :— All greet Thee with the glad “ All hail ” ! Amen. B 31

AMPHORA III E praise thee, blessed maid of GOD, That art the spirit in the sod. Thou art the bird within the bower, And Thou the honey in the flower ! Thou art the moon in Egypt’s night ; The shade from Afric’s blasting light ! In all the world of ill we bow To the one good, and that is Thou. For blazing in Thy blessed womb Glitters the CHRIST, a star of doom To cast the stars of evil kings Into the blind abyss of things. Hail, Mary, hail ! Thou didst conceive The Holy Child whom we believe. Draw Thou our loyal spirits hence In rapture and in r…
