Bread of Angels, Here on earth our food, our stay! Alleluia! here the sinful Flee to you from day to day: Intercessor, friend of sinners, Earth's redeemer, plead for me, Where the songs of all the sinless Sweep across the crystal sea. 4 Alleluia! King eternal, You the Lord of lords we own; Alleluia! born of Mary, Earth your footstool, heav'n your throne: You, within the veil, have entered, Robed in flesh, our great high priest; Here on earth both priest and victim In the eucharistic feast.

Alpha and Omega be; end of faith, as its beginning, set our hearts at liberty. 5 Come, almighty to deliver, let us all thy grace receive; suddenly return, and never, nevermore thy temples leave. 6 Thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above; pray, and praise thee, without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love. 5 Finish then thy new creation, pure and spotless let us be; let us see thy great salvation perfectly restored in thee. 6 Changed from glory into glory till in heav'n we take our place, till we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise.

I see your cross: there teach my heart to cling. O let me seek you and O let me find! 4 Teach me to love you as your angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame, the baptism of the heaven-descended dove, my heart an altar and your love the flame.
