O loving wisdom of our God! When all was sin and shame, A second Adam to the fight And to the rescue came. O generous love! that he who smote In man for man the foe, The double agony in Man For man should undergo; And in the garden secretly, And on the Cross on high, Should teach his brethren, and inspire To suffer and to die. Praise to the Holiest in the height, And in the depth be praise; In all his words most wonderful, Most sure in all his ways. Cardinal John Henry Newman Richmond, composed by Thomas Haweis

Lo, Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb; Lovingly he greets us, scatters fear and gloom; Let the Church with gladness hymns of triumph sing, For her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting: Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son, Endless is the vict ry thou o er death hast won.

5 No more we doubt thee, glorious Prince of Life; Life is nought without thee; aid us in our strife, Make us more than conquerors through thy deathless love; Bring us safe through Jordan, to thy home above: Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son, Endless is the vict ry thou o er death hast won.

6 THE NAVY HYMN Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm doth bind the restless wave, Who bidd st the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; O hear us when we cry to thee For those in peril on the sea. O Saviour, whose almighty word The winds and waves submissive heard, Who walkedst on the foaming deep, And calm amid its rage didst sleep: O hear us when we cry to thee For those in peril on the sea. O sacred Spirit, who didst brood Upon the chaos dark and rude, Who bad st its angry tumult cease, And gavest light and life and peace: O hear us when we cry to thee For those in peril on the sea. O Trinity of love and power, Our brethren shield in danger s hour; From rock and tempest, fore and foe, Protect them whereso er they go: And ever let there rise to thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
