God the Father, God the Word,
God the Holy Ghost adored:
Spare us, holy Trinity.
Spotless Lamb of God most high,
Manna coming from the sky:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
Very Man and Word divine,
Hidden under bread and wine:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
Purest Victim, stainless Priest,
Thou the Host, and Thou the Feast:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
Bread of life, the angels’ food,
Cup of blessing, precious blood:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
Off’ring of most perfect might,
Bond, Thy faithful to unite:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
From the tempting lures of sin,
From all pride and lusts within:
Keep us, holy Jesus.
From all unbelief in Thee,
Veiled in this great mystery:
Keep us, holy Jesus.
By Thy sitting down to meat,
That last Passover to eat:
Keep us, holy Jesus.
Through the dread and holy rite,
Founded on that awful night:
Keep us, holy Jesus.
Through Thy presence with us here,
When we draw Thine altar near:
Keep us, holy Jesus.
Help us, guide us, make us pure,
Give us blessings which endure:
Save us, holy Jesus.
Lead Thy pilgrims on their way,
Shine on us, unending Day:
Keep us, holy Jesus.
When we draw our latest breath,
Feed us at the time of death:
Keep us, holy Jesus.
