Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
Aeterne Rex altissime,
Redemptor et fidelium,
Cui mors perempta detulit
Summae triumphum gloriae.
Ascendis orbes siderum,
Quo te vocabat caelitus
Collata, non humanitus,
Rerum potestas omnium.
Ut trina rerum machina,
Caelestium, terrestrium,
Et inferorum condita,
Flectat genu jam subdita.
Tremunt videntes Angeli
Versam vicem mortalium:
Peccat caro, mundat caro,
Regnat Deus Dei caro.
Sis ipse nostrum gaudium,
Manens olympo praemium,
Mundi regis qui fabricam,
Mundana vincens gaudia.
Hinc te precantes quaesumus,
Ignosce culpis omnibus,
Et corda sursum subleva
Ad te superna gratia.
Ut cum repente coeperis
Clarere nube judicis,
Poenas repellas debitas,
Reddas coronas perditas.
Jesu, tibi sit gloria,
Qui victor in cælum redis,
Cum Patre, et almo Spiritu,
In sempiterna sæcula.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Common or Feast}
Eternal Monarch, King most high,
Whose blood hath brought redemption nigh,
By whom the death of death was wrought,
And conquering grace's battle fought:
Ascending by the starry road,
This day thou wentest home to God,
By heaven to power unending called,
And by no human hand installed.
That so, in nature's triple frame,
Each heavenly and each earthly name,
And things in hell's abyss abhorred,
May bend the knee and own him Lord.
Yea, angels tremble when they see
How changed is our humanity;
That flesh hath purged what flesh had stained,
And God, the flesh of God, hath reigned.
Be thou our joy, O mighty Lord,
As thou wilt be our great reward;
Earth's joys to thee are nothing worth,
Thou joy and crown of heaven and earth.
To thee we therefore humbly pray
That thou wouldst purge our sins away,
And draw our hearts by cords of grace
To thy celestial dwelling-place.
So when the judgement day shall come,
And all must rise to meet their doom,
Thou wilt remit the debts we owe,
And our lost crowns again bestow.
All glory, Lord, to thee we pay,
Ascending o'er the stars today;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.

1 My little children, these things I write to you, that you may not sin. But if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the just:
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
3 And by this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He who saith that he knoweth him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But he that keepeth his word, in him in very deed the charity of God is perfected; and by this we know that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in him, ought himself also to walk, even as he walked.

Sermo sancti Augustini Episcopi.
Sermo 2. de Ascensione Domini qui est 175. de Tempore.
Salvator noster, dilectissimi fratres, ascendit in caelum: non ergo turbemur in terra. Ibi sit mens, et hic erit requies. Ascendamus cum Christo interim corde: cum dies ejus promissus advenerit, sequemur et corpore. Scire tamen debemus, fratres, quia cum Christo non ascendit superbia, non avaritia, non luxuria: nullum vitium nostrum ascendit cum medico nostro. Et ideo si post medicum desideramus ascendere, debemus vitia et peccata deponere. Omnes enim quasi quibusdam compedibus nos premunt, et peccatorum nos retibus ligare contendunt: et ideo cum Dei adjutorio, secundum quod ait Psalmista: Dirumpamus vincula eorum: ut securi possimus dicere Domino: Dirupisti vincula mea, tibi sacrificabo hostiam laudis.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Tempus est, ut revertar ad eum, qui me misit, dicit Dominus; nolite contristari, nec turbetur cor vestrum:
* Rogo pro vobis Patrem, ut ipse vos custodiat, alleluia, alleluia.
V. Nisi ego abiero, Paraclitus non veniet: cum assumptus fuero, mittam vobis eum.

From the Sermons of St Austin, Bishop of Hippo.
2nd 07i the Ascension.
Dearly beloved brethren, our Saviour is gone up from us into heaven, but let us not be troubled on earth. Let only our heart be there with Him, and we shall have peace here. Let us in heart thither ascend with Christ in the mean while, and when that glad day which He hath promised cometh, our body will follow. But we must know, my brethren, that there are some things that cannot ascend with Christ pride cannot, nor covetousness, nor brutishness no one of our diseases can ascend thither where our Healer is. And, therefore, if we would follow our Healer, we must needs leave our diseases and sins behind us. All such things tie us down, as it were, with bands, and hamper us in the meshes of a net of sins but, with God's help, we will say with the Psalmist "Let us break their bands asunder," ii. 3, that we may be able honestly to say to the Lord " Thou hast loosed my bonds I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving," cxv. 16, 17.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. My time is come that I should return unto Him That sent Me, saith the Lord. Be not sorrowful, neither let your heart be troubled.
* I pray the Father for you, that He may keep you. Alleluia, Alleluia.
V. If I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you where I am ascended, I will send Him unto you.
R. I pray the Father for you, that He may keep you. Alleluia, Alleluia.

Resurrectio Domini spes nostra est: ascensio Domini glorificatio nostra est. Ascensionis hodie solemnia celebramus. Si ergo recte, si fideliter, si devote, si sancte, si pie ascensionem Domini celebramus, ascendamus cum illo, et sursum corda habeamus. Ascendentes autem non extollamur, nec de nostris, quasi de propriis meritis praesumamus. Sursum autem corda habere debemus ad Dominum. Sursum enim cor non ad Dominum, superbia vocatur: sursum autem cor ad Dominum, refugium vocatur. Videte, fratres, magnum miraculum. Altus est Deus, erigis te, et fugit a te humilias te, et descendit ad te. Quare hoc? Quia excelsus est, et humilia respicit, et alta de longe cognoscit. Humilia de proximo respicit, ut attollat: alta, id est, superba, de longe cognoscit, ut deprimat.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Reading 5
The Resurrection of the Lord is our hope the Ascension of the Lord is our glorification. To-day we keep the solemn holiday of the Ascension. If, therefore, our keeping of this holiday is to be a right, faithful, earnest, holy, godly keeping, we must in mind likewise ascend, and lift up our hearts unto the Lord. When we ascend we must not be high-minded, nor flatter ourselves with our good works, as though they were our own. We must lift up our hearts unto the Lord. When man's heart is lifted up, but not unto the Lord, such lifting-up is pride to lift up the heart unto the Lord, is to make the Most High our Refuge. Behold, my brethren, a great wonder. God is high, but if thou art lifted up He fleeth from thee, whereas, if thou humblest thyself, He cometh down to thee. Wherefore? "The Lord is high, yet hath He respect unto the lowly but the proud He knoweth from afar." Ps. cxxxvii. 6. To the lowly He hath respect, that He may raise them up the proud He knoweth from afar, that He may thrust them down.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Let not your heart be troubled I go unto the Father, and when I am taken from you, I will send unto you, alleluia,
* The Spirit of truth and your heart shall rejoice. Alleluia.
V. I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter.

Resurrexit enim Christus ut spem nobis daret, quia surgit homo, qui moritur; ne moriendo desperaremus, et vitam nostram in morte finitam putaremus, securos nos fecit. Solliciti enim eramus de ipsa anima: et ille nobis resurgendo, de carnis resurrectione fiduciam dedit. Crede ergo, ut munderis. Prius te oportet credere, ut postea per fidem Deum merearis aspicere. Deum enim videre vis? Audi ipsum: Beati mundo corde: quoniam ipsi Deum videbunt. Prius ergo cogita de corde mundando: quidquid ibi vides, quod displicet Deo, tolle.

Christ arose again, to give us hope that this mortal will yet put on immortality He hath assured against an hopeless death, and against the thought that death endeth life. We were troubled, eyen as touching the soul but Christ, arising from the grave, hath assured to us the resurrection of the body also. Believe therefore, that thou mayest be made pure. First it behoveth thee to believe, if by faith thou wouldest in the end worthily see God. And wouldest thou see God Give ear to His own words " Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Matth. v. 8. Think first, then, how to purify thine heart take from it whatsoever thou seest in it which displeaseth God.

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Joannem.
John 15:26-27;16:1-4
In illo tempore: Dixit Jesus discipulis suis: Cum venerit Paraclitus, quem ego mittam vobis a Patre, Spiritum veritatis, qui a Patre procedit, ille testimonium perhibebit de me. Et reliqua.
Homilia sancti Augustini Episcopi
Tractatus 92. in Joannem.
Dominus Jesus in sermone, quem locutus est discipulis suis post coenam, proximus passioni, tamquam iturus, et relicturus eos praesentia corporali, cum omnibus autem suis usque in consummationem saeculi futurus praesentia spiritali, exhortatus est eos ad perferendas persecutiones impiorum, quos mundi nomine nuncupavit: Ex quo tamen mundo etiam ipsos discipulos se elegisse dixit: ut scirent se Dei gratia esse, quod sunt; suis autem vitiis fuisse, quod fuerunt.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Ego rogabo Patrem, et alium Paraclitum dabit vobis,
* Ut maneat vobiscum in aeternum, Spiritum veritatis, alleluia.

Reading 7
From the Holy Gospel according to John
John 15:26-27; 16:1-4
At that time Jesus said unto His disciples when the Comforter is come, Whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, Which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me. And so on.
Homily by St Austin, Bishop of Hippo.
Tract 92 John.
The Lord Jesus, in that discourse which He addressed to His disciples after the Last Supper, when He was on the very eve of the Passion, when He was, as it were, about to go away and leave them as touching His bodily Presence, albeit as touching His spiritual Presence He is with us alway even unto the end of the world, Matth. xxviii. 20, in that discourse He exhorted them to bear patiently the persecution of wicked men, of whom He speaketh as " the world " out of the which world, nevertheless, He saith that He hath chosen even His disciples themselves, xv. 19, that they might know that it was by the grace of God that they were what they were, 1 Cor. xv. 10, whereas it was by their own sins that they had been what they had been.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter
* That He may abide with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth. Alleluia.
V. For if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you.
R. That He may abide with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth. Alleluia.

Deinde persecutores et suos et ipsorum, Judaeos evidenter expressit: ut omnino appareret etiam ipsos mundi damnabilis appellatione conclusos, qui persequuntur sanctos. Cumque de illis diceret, quod ignorarent eum, a quo missus est; et tamen odissent et Filium, et Patrem, hoc est, et eum qui missus est, et eum a quo missus est: (de quibus omnibus in aliis sermonibus jam disseruimus) ad hoc pervenit, ubi ait: Ut adimpleatur sermo, qui in lege eorum scriptus est: Quia odio habuerunt me gratis.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Si enim non abiero, Paraclitus non veniet ad vos: si autem abiero, mittam eum ad vos.

Benediction. God's most mighty strength alway be His people's staff and stay. Amen.
Reading 8
If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you." Here He clearly pointeth to the Jews, the persecutors both of Himself and of His disciples, so that we see that they which persecute His holy ones are as much citizens of the world of damnation as they which persecuted Himself. He saith " They know not Him That sent Me," 21, and yet again, 24, " They have hated both Me and My Father," xv. 24, that is to say, both the Sender and the Sent, the meaning of which words we have already treated in other discourses and with that He cometh to the words " That the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law They hated Me without a cause."
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. For if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you but if I depart, I will send Him unto you
* And when He is come, He will guide you into all truth Alleluia.
V. For He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak and He will show you things to come.
R. And when He is come, He will guide you into all truth. Alleluia.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. And when He is come, He will guide you into all truth. Alleluia.

Deinde tamquam consequenter adjunxit, unde modo disputare suscepimus: Cum autem venerit Paraclitus, quem ego mittam vobis a Patre, Spiritum veritatis, qui a Patre procedit, ille testimonium perhibebit de me: et vos testimonium perhibebitis, quia ab initio mecum estis. Quid hoc pertinet ad illud quod dixerat: Nunc autem et viderunt, et oderunt et me, et Patrem meum; sed ut impleatur sermo, qui in lege eorum scriptus est: Quia odio habuerunt me gratis? An quia Paraclitus quando venit Spiritus veritatis, eos, qui viderunt, et oderunt, testimonio manifestiore convicit? Immo vero etiam aliquos ex illis qui viderunt, et adhuc oderant, ad fidem, quae per dilectionem operatur, sui manifestatione convertit.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.

Reading 9
Then saith the Lord, as though in continuation "But when the Comforter is come, Whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, Which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me. And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with Me from the beginning." What connection hath this with the words "Now have they both seen and hated both Me and My Father but that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law They hated Me without a cause " Is it that when the Comforter is come, even the Spirit of truth, He will confound by irrefragable testimony them who have both seen and hated both God the Son and God the Father? Yea, indeed, some there were who had seen and still hated, whom the testimony of the Comforter converted to the faith which worketh by love.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
Te Deum
We praise thee, O God, * we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
