O Godhead Hid, Devoutly I Adore Thee,
Who Truly Art Within The Forms Before Me;
To Thee My Heart I Bow With Bended Knee,
As Failing Quite In Contemplating Thee.
Sight, Touch, And Taste In Thee Are Each Deceived;
The Ear Alone Most Safely Is Believed.
I Believe All The Son Of God Has Spoken
Than Truth’s Own Word There Is No Truce Token.
God Only On The Cross Lay Hid From View,
But Here Lies Hid At Once The Manhood Too :
And I, In Both Professing My Believe,
Make The Same Prayer As The Repentant Thief.
Thy Wounds, As Thomas Saw, I Do Not See;
Yet Thee Confess My Lord And God To Be.
Make Me Believe Thee Ever More And More,
In Thee My Hope, In Thee My Love To Store.
O Thou, Memorial Of Our Lord’s Own Dying!
O Living Bread, To Mortals Life Supplying!
Make Thou My Soul Henceforth On Thee To Live;
Ever A Taste Of Heavenly Sweetness Give.
O Loving Pelican! O Jesu Lord!
Unclean I Am, But Cleanse Me In Thy Blood :
Of Which A Single Drop, For Sinners Spilt,
Can Purge The Entire World From All Its Guilt.
Jesu! Whom For The Present Veiled I See,
What I So Thirst For, Oh, Vouchsafe To Me :
That I May See Thy Countenance Unfolding,
And May Be Blest Thy Glory In Beholding. Amen.
