Non nobis, Domine!
Not unto us, O Lord,
The praise and glory be
Of any deed or word.
For in Thy judgment lies
To crown or bring to nought
All knowledge and device
That man has reached or wrought.
And we confess our blame,
How all too high we hold
That noise which men call fame,
That dross which men call gold.
For these we undergo
Our hot and godless days,
But in our souls we know
Not unto us the praise.
O Power, by whom we live,
Creator, Judge, and Friend,
Upholdingly forgive,
Nor leave us at the end.
But grant us yet to see
In all our piteous ways,
Non nobis, Domine,
Not unto us the praise.

- Text by Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)

Content our earthly lot to share,
Loving father, loving mother,
Shelter Thee with tender care! 

Blessed Jesus, we implore Thee
With humble love and holy fear,
In the land that lies before Thee,
Forget not us who linger here!
May the shepherd’s lowly calling,
Ever to Thy heart be dear! 

Blest are ye beyond all measure,
Thou happy father, mother mild!
Guard ye well your Heav’nly Treasure,
The Prince of Peace, the Holy Child!
God go with you, God protect you,
Guide you safely through the wild!

- English words by Paul England


• Communion Motet: Eastern Monarchs, Sages Three – Herbert Sumsion (1899-1995)

Eastern monarchs, Sages three,
Come with gifts in great plenty,
Worship Christ on bended knee
Cum Virgine Maria.
Gold, in honour of the King.
Incense to the Priest they bring,
Myrrh, for time of burying
Cum Virgine Maria.
On the feast-day of His birth,
Set on thrones above the earth,
Angels chant in Holy mirth
Cum Virgine Maria.
Thus, to bless the One in Three,
Let this present company
Raise the voice of melody
Cum Virgine Maria.

- Text: 15th Century Latin
