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, Jesus, 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. | |||

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, Jesus, 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.
