Lyrics

"The Heav'nly Word proceeding forth,
Yet leaving not the Father's side,
Accomplishing His work on Earth
Had reach'd at length life's eventide.
By false disciple to be giv'n
To foemen to His life athirst,
Himself, the very Bread of heav'n,
He gave to His disciples first.
He gave Himself in either kind,
His precious Flesh, His precious Blood;
In Love's own fulness thus designed
Of the whole man to be the Food.
O Saving Victim, opening wide
The gate of heav'n for men below,
Our foes press on from every side;
Thine aid supply, Thy strength bestow.
Amen
"
