Lord, our God, you revealed the secrets of heaven to Saint Bridget as she meditated on your Son's Passion. Grant that we your servants may find great joy when your glory is revealed."In Christ's death, I have died now;
In Christ I live anew.
With faith in God's Son, Jesus,
That keeps me ever true,
I know the love he's shown me,
That washed my sin away.
His cross, which daily guides me
Informs me as I pray."
Thus Bridget, monarch, mother,
Good spouse and Christian wise,
Lived Jesus' sacred Passion
And, e'er before His eyes
She loved the poor and lowly,
Gave all her store away,
Called men and women to her
To live the Gospel way.
Give glory to the Father,
Whose loving plan ordained
That we should each be bought back
From sin and sorrow's shame!
Give glory to Christ Jesus,
Whose death has set us free!
Give glory to the Spirit;
To God, the One-in-Three.
