[Midi], [Mp3], [Jpg], [Pdf], [Audio], [Video]

1
How sweet upon this sacred day,
The best of all the seven,
To cast our earthly thoughts away,
And think of God and heaven!

2
How sweet to be allowed to pray,
Our sins may be forgiven!
With filial confidence to say,
"Father, who art in heaven!"

3
How sweet the words of peace to hear
From Him to whom 'tis given
To wake the penitential tear,
And lead the way to heaven!

4
And if, to make our sins depart,
In vain the will has striven,
He who regards the inmost heart
Will send his grace from heaven.
