Humbly I adore thee,
Verity unseen,
who thy glory hidest
�neath these shadows mean;
lo, to thee surrendered,
my whole heart is bowed,
tranced as it beholds thee,
shrined within the cloud.
Taste and touch and vision
to discern thee fail;
faith, that comes by hearing,
pierces through the veil.
I believe whate�er
the Son of God hath told;
what the Truth hath spoken,
that for truth I hold.
O memorial wondrous
of the Lord�s own death;
living Bread that givest all
they creatures breath,
grant my spirit ever by
thy life may live,
to my taste thy sweetness
never failing give.
Jesus, whom now hidden,
I by faith behold,
what my soul doth long for,
that thy word foretold;
face to face thy splendor,
I at last shall see,
in the glorious vision,
blessed Lord, of thee.
The Father�s splendor clothes
the Son with life.
The Spirit�s power
shakes the Church of God.
Baptized we live with God
the Three in One.
Alleluia!
A new creation comes to life
and grows
as Christ�s new body
takes on flesh and blood.
The universe restored
and whole will sing:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Amen.
