1 Thee we adore, O hidden Saviour, thee,
who at thy sacrament art pleased to be;
both flesh and spirit in thy presence fail,
yet here thy presence we devoutly hail.
2 O blest memorial of our dying Lord,
who living bread to all doth here afford;
O may our souls forever feed on thee,
and thou, O Christ, forever precious be.
3 Fountain of goodness, 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.
4 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.
