| O saving Victim, open wide The gate of heaven to us below. Our foes press on from every side; Your aid supply, your strength bestow. To your great name be endless praise, |
O salutaris Hostia Quae caeli pandis ostium; Bella premunt hostilla, Da robur, fer auxillium. Uni trinoque Domino |
|
| Down in adoration falling, This great Sacrament we hail; Over ancient forms of worship Newer rites of grace prevail; Faith will tell us Christ is present, When our human senses fail. To the everlasting Father, |
Tantum ergo Sacramentum Genitori Gentioque |
| Holy God, we praise thy name; Lord of all, we bow before thee; All on earth they scepter claim; All in heaven above adore thee. Infinite they vast domain, Everlasting is thy reign! |
Hark, the loud celestial hymn; Angel choirs above are raising; Cherubim and Seraphim, In unceasing chorus praising, Fill the heavens with sweet accord: Holy, holy, holy, Lord! |
|
| Come Holy Ghost Creator Blest; And in our hearts take up Thy rest; Come with Thy grace and heavenly aid; To fill the hearts which Thou hast made; To fill the hearts which Thou hast made. |
O Comfortor to Thee we cry; Thou gift of God sent from on high; Thou font of life and fire of love; The soul's anointing from above; The soul's anointing from above. |
