EN 4216 Thee We Adore, O Hidden Savior, Thee

John.6.51

Versi Version 1

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, Jesu, 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.
