Author: Thomas Aquinas, 1227-74; James Russell Woodford, 1820-85 Hymnal: Together in Song #500 (1999) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Here we adore you, hidden Saviour, Lord,
who in your sacrament are living Word;
both flesh and spirit at your presence fail,
yet here your presence now we humbly hail.
2 O blest memorial of our dying Lord,
the living bread, who here will life afford,
O may our souls on you for ever feed,
and you be ever present in our need.
3 Fountain of goodness, Jesus, Lord and God,
cleanse us, unclean, with your all-cleansing blood;
increase our faith and love that we may know
the hope and peace which from your presence flow.
4 O Christ, whom now beneath a veil we see,
may what we thirst for our possession be:
to gaze on you unveiled and see your face,
the vision of your glory and your grace.
