Thee we adore, O hidden Savior, Thee,
Who in Thy sacrament are pleased to be;
Both flesh and spirit at Thy presence fail,
Yet here Thy presence we devoutly hail.
O blessed 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 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.
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.
Words: Thomas Aquinas (1226-1274) (Adoro Te devote, la tens Deitas); translated from Latin to English by James R. Wood ford, 1850)
