There contemplate the love of Jesus, the pearl of our life here below. Be not cold and unmoved like the stone floor, but adore your God with fervor and pray with the deepest reverence. Pierce with the eye of faith the veils of the Blessed Sacrament, and pray with heart and lips :

Because Thou first hast loved me;
All other love I will resign,
Conform me to Thy love divine.

Pange Lingua Gloriosi

SING, my tongue, the Saviour's glory,
Of His flesh the mystery sing;
Of the blood, all price exceeding,
  Shed by our immortal King,
Destined, for the world's redemption,
  From a noble womb to spring.

  Born for us on earth below,
He, as man with man conversing,
  Stay'd, the seeds of truth to sow?
Then He closed in solemn order
  Wondrously His life of woe.
