Thee We Adore, O Hidden Savior, Thee

Verse 1

Thee we adore, O hidden Saviour, thee who in thy sacrament art pleased to be; both flesh and spirit in thy presence fail, yet here thy presence we devoutly hail.

Verse 2

O blest memorial of our dying Lord, who living bread to us doth here afford; O may our souls for ever feed on thee, and thou, O Christ, for ever precious be.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
