Author: Thomas Aquinas Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #59 (2024) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D First Line: Humbly I adore thee, verity unseen Lyrics: 1. Humbly I adore thee, Verity unseen,
Who thy glory hidest 'neath these shadows mean;
Lo, to thee surrendered, my whole heart is bowed,
Tranced as it beholds thee, shrined within the cloud.
2. Taste and touch and vision to discern thee fail;
Faith, that comes by hearing, pierces through the veil.
I believe whate'er the Son of God hath told;
What the Truth hath spoken, that for truth I hold.
3. O memorial wondrous of the Lord's own death;
Living Bread, which givest all thy creatures breath,
Grant my spirit ever by thy life may live,
To my taste thy sweetness never-failing give.
4. Jesus, by Heav'n veiled, I perceive by faith;
What my soul doth thirst for, do not, Lord, forsake:
That thy face unveiled, I at last may see,
With the blissful vision, blest my God, of thee. Topics: Epiphany Thomas Aquinas Scripture: Hebrews 1:2-3 Languages: English Tune Title: ADORO DEVOTE
