Let us Pray
O GOD, Who hast left us, in this wonderful Sacrament, a perpetual memorial of Thy Passion, grant us, we beseech Thee, so to reverence the sacred mysteries of Thy Body and Blood that we may ever find in our souls the fruit of Thy Redemption, Who livest and reignest, forever and ever. Amen.
Ave Verum Corpus Natum
HAIL to Thee! true Body, sprung
From the Virgin Mary’s womb!
The same that on the cross was hung,
And bore for man the bitter doom!
Thou, Whose side was pierced, and flow’d
Both with Water and with Blood;
Suffer us to taste of Thee,
In our life’s last agony.
Son of Mary, Jesu blest!
Sweetest, gentlest, holiest!
Sing, My Tongue
(Pange Lingua)
SING, my tongue, the Saviour’s glory,
Of His Flesh, the mystery sing;
Of His Blood, all price exceeding,
Shed by our immortal King,
Destin’d for the world’s redemption
From a noble womb to spring.
