St John the Baptist - June 22, 2014

• Organ: Prelude in E minor – J.S. Bach (1685-1750) 
• Opening Hymn (Iste Confessor #364)

Let thine example, holy John, remind us,
ere we can meetly sing thy deeds of wonder,
hearts must be chastened, and the bonds that bind us
broken asunder!

Lo! a swift Angel, from the skies descending,
tells to thy father what shall be thy naming;
all thy life's greatness to its bitter ending
duly proclaiming.

But when he doubted what the Angel told him,
came to him dumbness to confirm the story;
at thine appearing, healed again behold him,
chanting thy glory!

Angels in orders everlasting praise thee,
God, in thy triune majesty tremendous;
hark to the prayers we, penitents, upraise thee:
save and defend us.
