Thee we adore, O hidden Savior, Thee, <br />Who in Thy sacrament dost deign to be; <br />Both flesh and spirit at Thy presence fail, <br />Yet here Thy presence we devoutly hail. <br /> <br />O blest memorial of our dying Lord, <br />Who living Bread to men doth here afford! <br />O may our souls forever feed on Thee, <br />And Thou, O Christ, forever precious be. <br /> <br />Fountain of gladness, Jesu, Lord and God, <br />Cleanse us, unclean, with Thy most cleansing blood; <br />Increase our faith and love, that we may know <br />The hope and peace which from Thy presence flow. <br /> <br />O Christ, Whom now beneath a veil we see, <br />May what we thirst for soon our portion be, <br />To gaze on Thee unveiled, and see Thy face, <br />The vision of Thy glory and Thy grace.<br /><br />Thomas Aquinas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thee-we-adore-o-hidden-savior-thee/
