“Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.”
Tremendous words! Epitome of prayer-
Flooding the soul with undeserved grace,
As though we wore the Master’s robe - and dare!
To gaze upon his father, face to face.
Each collect that the vested Priest intones
Runs, like a river, to the same vast sea:
“Father! we have no merits of our own,
But through Thy Son we beg all things of Thee.”
Saddened by sin, by holy awe detoured,
We kneel far off, and search our shrinking hearts
Till from the alter float those charmed words,
And hope grows strong and every doubt departs.
Glad music from our grateful tongue resounds,
Sweet tears bedew our day and burning eyes,
Ladder of light! we grasp thy gleaming rounds
And by thee mount securely to the skies.

O sacred blessed feet of Jesus’
Weary with seeking me
Stand at Gods bar of Judgement
And intercede for me -
O knees which bent in anguish
In dark Gethsemine
Kneel at the throne of Glory
And interceed for me.
O hands that were extended
Upon the awful tree
Hold up those precious Nail Prints
Which intercede for me.
O side from which the spear point
Brought Blood and water free
For healing and for cleaning
Still intercede for me.
O head so deeply pierced
With thorns which sharpest be
Bend low before thy father
And intercede for me.
O sacred heart such sorrows
The world may never see
As that which gave Thee warrent
To interceed for me.
O risen ascended Saviour
From death and sorrow free
Present thy perfect offering
Still intercede for me.
Amen
