God The Father, God The Word

God the Father, God the Word,

God the Holy Ghost adored:

Spare us, holy Trinity.

Spotless Lamb of God most high,

Manna coming from the sky:

Hear us, holy Jesus.

Very Man and Word divine,

Hidden under bread and wine:

Hear us, holy Jesus.

Purest Victim, stainless Priest,

Thou the Host, and Thou the Feast:

Hear us, holy Jesus.

Bread of life, the angels' food,

Cup of blessing, precious blood:

Hear us, holy Jesus.

Off'ring of most perfect might,

Bond, Thy faithful to unite:

Hear us, holy Jesus.

From the tempting lures of sin,

From all pride and lusts within:

Keep us, holy Jesus.

From all unbelief in Thee,

Veiled in this great mystery:

Keep us, holy Jesus.

By Thy sitting down to meat,

That last Passover to eat:

Keep us, holy Jesus.

Through the dread and holy rite,

Founded on that awful night:

Keep us, holy Jesus.

Through Thy presence with us here,

When we draw Thine altar near:

Keep us, holy Jesus.

Help us, guide us, make us pure,

Give us blessings which endure:

Save us, holy Jesus.

Lead Thy pilgrims on their way,

Shine on us, unending Day:

Keep us, holy Jesus.

When we draw our latest breath,

Feed us at the time of death:

Keep us, holy Jesus.
