We Hail Thee Now, O Jesus,
Thy Presence Here We Own,
Though Sight And Touch Have Failed Us,
And Faith Perceives Alone;
Thy Love Has Veiled Thy Glory;
And Hid Thy Power Divine,
In Mercy To Our Weakness,
Beneath An Earthly Sign.
We Hail Thee Now, O Jesus,
In Silence Hast Thou Come,
For All The Hosts Of Heaven
With Wonderment Are Dumb:
So Great The Condescension,
So Marvellous The Love,
Which For Our Sakes, O Saviour,
Have Drawn Thee From Above.
We Hail Thee Now, O Jesus,
For Law And Type Have Ceased,
And Thou In Each Communion
Art Sacrifice And Priest;
We Make This Great Memorial
In Union, Lord, With Thee,
And Plead Thy Death And Passion
To Cleanse And Set Us Free.
We Hail Thee Now, O Jesus,
For Death Is Drawing Near,
And In Thy Presence Only
Its Terrors Disappear;
Dwell With Us, Sweetest Saviour,
And Guide Us Through The Night,
Till Shadows End In Glory,
And Faith Be Lost In Sight.
