The Eight Beatitudes
Fr. Jeremiah Cummings Williams, 1824-1866 Orlando Gibbons, 1583-1625
1. Blessed the poor in spirit, they are heirs
To wealth untold, for heaven itself is theirs.
5. Blessed the merciful, for they’ll obtain
The mercy which they grant their fellowmen.
2. Blessed the meek, for without strife their hand
Shall be victorious, and possess the land.
6. Blessed the clean of heart, for they shall see
The Lord in all his cloudless purity.
3. Blessed are they that mourn, for God one day
Will comfort them, and wipe their tears away.
7. Blessed the makers of peace, the kind and mild
Children of God they shall be justly styled.
4. Blessed who hunger and who thirst, unskilled
in wiles, for justice, for they shall be filled.
8. Blessed are they that suffer in the right,
For heaven’s kingdom shall their cares requite.

Unto Him, for whom this Day
Right Reverend Msgr. H.T. Henry Nicola A. Montani
1. Unto him, for whom, this day;
Juste judex ultionis
We in love and pity pray;
Donum fac remissionis.
(Refrain)
Refrain:
Pie Jesu Domine,
Dona ei requiem.
Pie Jesu Domine,
Dona ei requiem.
2. When at Judgement he shall stand,
Rex tremendae majestatis,
Grant him what Thy love hath planned,
Qui salvandos salvas gratis.
(Refrain)
3. He hath fought the gallant fight
Inter oves locum praesta,
Lead Him on to Heaven’s light
Statuens in parte dextra.
(Refrain)
