Thee we adore, O
hidden Savior,
Thee,
Who in Thy
sacrament dost
deign to be;
Both flesh and
spirit at Thy
presence fail,
Yet here Thy
presence we
devoutly hail.
O
blest memorial of
our dying Lord,
Who living Bread
to men doth here
afford!
O may our souls
forever feed on
Thee,
And Thou, O
Christ, forever
precious be.
Fountain of
gladness, Jesu,
Lord and God,
Cleanse us,
unclean, with Thy
most cleansing
blood;
Increase our faith
and love, that we
may know
The hope and peace
which from Thy
presence flow.
O Christ, Whom
now beneath a veil
we see,
May what we thirst
for soon our
portion be,
To gaze on Thee
unveiled, and see
Thy face,
The vision of Thy
glory and Thy
grace.
