Jesu, the world’s Redeemer, O hear;

thy bishops’ fadeless crown, draw near:

Whose yearly feast, in solemn state,

Thy faithful people celebrate.

As vain and passing, he eschewed;

And therefore with angelic bands,

In endless joy forever stands.

Grant then that we, most gracious God,

May follow in the steps he trod:

And, at his prayer, thy servants free

From stain of all iniquity.

To thee, O Christ, our loving King,

All glory, praise, and thanks we bring:

All glory, as is ever meet,

To Father and to Paraclete.

Amen.
