Hymnus Post Cibum	B
	-
	-
Pastis visceribus ciboque sumpto	C
quem lex corporis inbecilla poscit	C
laudem lingua Deo patri rependat	C
Patri qui Cherubin sedile sacrum	B
nec non et Seraphin suum supremo	B
subnixus solio tenet regitque	D
	-
Hic est quem Sabaoth Deum vocamus	E
expers principii carensque fine	F
rerum conditor et repertor orbis	E
fons vitae liquida fluens ab arce	E
infusor fidei sator pudoris	E
mortis perdomitor salutis auctor	G
	-
Omnes quod sumus aut vigemus inde est	C
regnat Spiritus ille sempiternus	E
a Christo simul et Parente missus	E
Intrat pectora candidus pudica	D
quae templi vice consecrata rident	C
postquam conbiberint Deum medullis	E
	-
Sed si quid vitii dolive nasci	E
inter viscera iam dicata sensit	C
ceu spurcum refugit celer sacellum	B
Taetrum flagrat enim vapore crasso	E
horror conscius aestuante culpa	H
offensumque bonum niger repellit	C
	-
Nec solus pudor innocensve votum	B
templum constituunt perenne Christo	C
in cordis medii sum ac recessu	E
sed ne crapula ferveat cavendum est	C
quae sedem fidei cibis refertam	B
usque ad congeriem coartet intus	E
	-
Parcis victibus expedita corda	C
infusum melius Deum receptant	C
Hic pastus animae est saporque verus	E
sed nos tu gemino fovens paratu	C
artus atque animas utroque pastu	C
confirmas Pater ac vigore conples	E
	-
Sic olim tua praecluens potestas	E
inter raucisonos situm leones	E
inlapsis dapibus virum refovit	C
Illum fusile numen execrantem	B
et curvare caput sub expolita	C
aeris materia nefas putantem	B
	-
Plebs dirae Babylonis ac tyrannus	E
morti subdiderant feris dicarant	C
saevis protinus haustibus vorandum	B
O semper pietas fidesque tuta	C
lambunt indomiti virum leones	E
intactumque Dei tremunt alumnum	B
	-
Adstant cominus et iubas reponunt	C
mansuescit rabies fameque blanda	C
praedam rictibus ambit incruentis	E
Sed cum tenderet ad superna palmas	E
expertumque sibi Deum rogaret	C
clausus iugiter indigensque victu	C
	-
Iussus nuntius advolare terris	E
qui pastum famulo daret probato	C
raptim desilit obsequente mundo	C
Cernit forte procul dapes inemptas	E
quas messoribus Abbacuc propheta	C
agresti bonus exhibebat arte	C
	-
Huius caesarie manu prehensa	E
plenis sicut erat gravem canistris	E
suspensum rapit et vehit per auras	E
Tum raptus simul ipse prandiumque	D
sensim labitur in lacum leonum	B
et quas tunc epulas gerebat offert	C
	-
Sumas laetus ait libensque carpas	E
quae summus Pater angelusque Christi	C
mittunt liba tibi sub hoc periclo	A
His sumptis Danielus excitavit	C
in caelum faciem ciboque fortis	E
Amen reddidit Halleluia dixit	C
	-
Sic nos muneribus tuis refecti	C
largitor Deus omnium bonorum	B
grates reddimus et sacramus hymnos	E
Tu nos tristifico velut tyranno	F
mundi scilicet inpotentis actu	C
conclusos regis et feram repellis	E
	-
Quae circumfremit ac vorare temptat	C
insanos acuens furore dentes	E
cur te summe Deus precemur unum	B
Vexamur premimur malis rotamur	G
oderunt lacerant trahunt lacessunt	C
iuncta est suppliciis fides iniquis	E
	-
Nec defit tamen anxiis medela	A
nam languente trucis leonis ira	G
inlapsae superingeruntur escae	D
Quas si quis sitienter hauriendo	C
non gustu tenui sed ore pleno	F
internis velit inplicare venis	E
	-
Hic sancto satiatus ex propheta	C
iustorum capiet cibos virorum	B
qui fructum domino metunt perenni	F
Nil est dulcius ac magis saporum	B
nil quod plus hominem iuvare possit	C
quam vatis pia praecinentis orsa	E
	-
His sumptis licet insolens potestas	E
pravum iudicet inrogetque mortem	B
inpasti licet inruant leones	E
nos semper Dominum patrem fatentes	E
in te Christe Deus loquemur unum	B
constanterque tuam crucem feremus	E

Hymn After Meat	C
	-
Refreshed we rise and for this bread that feeds	E
By law of man's weak flesh our daily needs	E
Let every tongue the Father's praises sing	D
The Father Who on His exalted throne	F
O'er Cherubim and Seraphim alone	F
Reigns in His majesty Eternal King	D
	-
God of Sabaoth is His name 'tis He	C
Who ne'er began and ne'er shall cease to be	C
Builder of worlds created at His word	C
Fountain of Life that flows from out the sky	D
He breathes within us Faith and Purity	C
Great Conqueror of Death Salvation's Lord	C
	-
From Him each creature life and vigour gains	E
And over all the Eternal Spirit reigns	E
Who cometh from the Father and the Son	F
When dovelike on pure hearts the heavenly Guest	C
Descends they are by God's own presence blest	C
As temples where His holy work is done	F
	-
But if the taint of vice or guile arise	E
Within the consecrated shrine He flies	E
With speed from out the sin defil d cell	A
For driven forth by guilt's black surging tide	C
The offended Godhead may not there abide	C
Where conscious sin and noisome foulness dwell	A
	-
Not chastity nor childlike faith alone	F
Build up for Christ an everlasting throne	F
Deep in the inmost heart devoid of shame	B
But watchful ever must His servants be	C
Lest the dark power of sated gluttony	C
Should bind about the abode of faith its chain	F
	-
Yet simple saints content with frugal fare	G
More surely find the Spirit present there	G
Who is our soul's true strength and heavenly food	C
Thy love for us a twofold feast supplies	E
O Father whence the soul may strengthened rise	E
And eke the body gain new hardihood	C
	-
Thus fed and sheltered by Thy matchless might	C
The lions' hideous roar could not affright	C
Thy loyal servant in the days of old	C
He boldly cursed the molten deity	C
And stood with stubborn head uplifted high	D
That scorned to bow before a god of gold	C
	-
Then Babylon's vile mob with fury glows	E
Death is his doom and straight the tyrant throws	E
The youth to be his savage lions' prey	G
But faith and piety Thou still dost save	I
For lo the untamed brutes no longer rave	I
But round God's unscathed child they gently play	G
	-
Close by his side they stand with drooping mane	F
The grisly gaping jaws from blood refrain	F
And with rough tongues their whilom prey caress	E
But when in prayer he raised his hands to heaven	F
And called the God from Whom such help was given	F
Close prisoned hungry and in sore distress	E
	-
A wing d messenger to earth He sends	E
Who swiftly through the parting clouds descends	E
To feed His servant proven by the test	C
By chance he sees from far the unbought fare	G
Which the good seer Habakkuk's kindly care	G
With rustic art had for the reapers dressed	C
	-
Then grasping in strong hand the prophet's hair	G
He bears him gently through the rushing air	G
Still burdened with the platter's savoury load	C
Till o'er the lions' den at last they stayed	C
And straightway to the starving youth displayed	C
The food thus brought by God's good grace bestowed	C
	-
Take this with joy he said and thankful feed	C
The bread that in thy hour of direst need	C
By the great Father sent Christ's angel brings	E
Then Daniel lifts his eyes to heaven above	J
And strengthened by the wondrous gift of love	J
Amen he cries and Alleluia sings	E
	-
Thus therefore by Thy bounties now restored	C
Giver of all things good Almighty Lord	C
We render thanks and sing glad hymns to Thee	C
Though prisoned in an evil world we dwell	A
Where sin's grim tyrant rules Thou dost repel	A
With sovran power our mortal enemy	C
	-
He roars around us and would fain devour	G
Grinding his angry teeth when 'gainst his power	G
In Thee alone O God we still confide	C
By evil things we are beset and vexed	C
Tormented hated harassed and perplexed	C
Our faith by cruel suffering sorely tried	C
	-
Yet help ne'er fails us in our time of need	C
For Thou canst quell the lions' rage and feed	C
Our hungry spirits with celestial fare	G
And if some soul no meagre taste would gain	F
Of that repast but thirstily is fain	F
Full measure of the heavenly sweets to share	G
	-
He by the holy seers of old is fed	C
And shall partake the loyal reapers' bread	C
Who labour in the eternal Master's field	C
For nothing sweeter than the Word can be	C
That fell from righteous lips once touched by Thee	C
And nought can richer grace to mortals yield	C
	-
With this sustained though vaunting tyranny	C
By unjust judgment doom us straight to die	D
And starv d lions rush these limbs to tear	G
Confessing ever Thine Eternal Son	F
With Thee Almighty Father ever one	F
His cross with faith unshaken will we bear	G
