THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

O Jesus Christ, remember
Gesu Sacramentato

Father Caswall
Nicola A. Montani

With devotion

1.
O Jesus Christ, remember,
When Thou shalt come again,
Upon the clouds of Heaven,
With all Thy shining train;
When ev'ry eye shall see Thee
In Deity revealed,
Who now upon this altar
In silence art concealed;

2.
Remember then, O Saviour,
I supplicate of Thee,
That here I bowed before Thee
Upon my bended knee;
That here I owned Thy Presence,
And did not Thee deny;
And glorified Thy greatness,
Though hid from human eye.

3.
Accept Divine Redeemer,
The homage of my praise;
Be Thou the light and honor
And glory of my days;
Be Thou my consolation
When death is drawing nigh;
Be Thou my only treasure
Through all eternity.

THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

Wondrous love that cannot falter

(Hymn of the Association of Perpetual Adoration)
Tr. Rt. Rev. Msgr. H. T. Henry
Ch. Gounod
Arr. by N. A. M.

Andante con espressione

1.
Wondrous love that cannot falter!
Jesus in the Host doth dwell
Day and night upon the Alter
Near to those He loves so well.

Refrain
Low in endless worship bent,
Praise the Blessed Sacrament.

2.
Angel hosts are hushed in wonder
And adore with folded wings:
For the lowly Species under,
Hidden lies the King of Kings.

3.
Tho' the Heav'nly choir rejoices
Praise and sing His loving ear
Seeks the tribute of our voices:
'Tis for us He waiteth here!

4.
All He hath in highest Heaven
Veiled in the Host we see:
And to us the care is given
Of His wondrous poverty.

5.
Bread of Angels! Who can measure
All it means? this daily food
And the daily granted treasure
Of His sacrificial Blood?

6.
Bending low in adoration
Ever constant let us be,
Making Jesus Reparation
For the worlds in constancy.

THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

O Food to Pilgrims Given
O Esca Viatorum

Harmonized by J. S. Bach

Slowly

1.
O Food of pilgrims given,
Bread of the hosts of Heaven
Thou Manna of the sky!
Feed with the blessed sweetness,
Of Thy divine completeness
The hearts that for Thee sigh.

2.
O Fountain ruby glowing,
O stream of love outflowing
From Jesus' pierc-ed Side!
This thought alone shall bless us
This one
