Text: | Thee We Adore, O Hidden Savior |
Author: | Thomas Aquinas, 1227-1274 |
Translator: | James R. Woodford, 1820-1885 |
Tune: | ADORO TE DEVOTE |
1 Thee we adore, O hidden Savior, thee,
Who in thy Sacramentt art pleased to be;
Both flesh and spirit in thy presence fail,
Yet here thy presence we devoutly hail.
2 O blest memorial of our dying Lord,
Who living bread to us shall here afford:
Oh, may our souls forever feed on thee,
And thou, O Christ, forever precious be.
3 Fountain of goodness, 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.
4 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.
Amen
