Down to the present time his memory has received many honors. Churches have been erected, prayers have been offered, and much religious worship has been transacted in his name. But to us who are looking upon him from another angle altogether, there are apparent in him a piety, a zeal, a courage, and a “hot-hearted prudence” (to quote F. W. Faber’s words) which arouse our admiration. And in the two hymns which bear his name we are able to discover that fine attar which is the precious residuum of many crushed and fragrant aspirations, which grew above the thorns of sharp trial and were strewn at last upon the wind-swept beach of that poor Pisgah island from which he truly beheld the distant Land. O DEUS, EGO AMO TE. O Lord, I love thee, for of old Thy love hath reached to me. Lo, I would lay my freedom by And freely follow thee! Let memory never have a thought Thy glory cannot claim, Nor let the mind be wise at all Unless she seek thy name. For nothing further do I wish Except as thou dost will; What things thy gift allows as mine My gift shall give thee still. Receive what I have had from thee And guide me in thy way, And govern as thou knowest best, Who lovest me each day. Give unto me thy love alone, That I may love thee too, For other things are dreams; but this Embraceth all things true. CHAPTER XXVIII. THE HYMN-WRITERS OF THE BREVIARY. There are three principal liturgical books in use in the Roman Catholic Church. Originally there were two: the Ritual, which contained all the sacramental offices, and the Breviary, which contained the rest. But for convenience the eucharistic office in its various forms now has a book to itself called the Missal, and the other six sacraments recognized in the Church of Rome make up the Ritual.
