Down in Adoration Falling
Down in
adoration falling, Lo! the sacred Host we hail, Lo! oe'r ancient forms
departing. Newer rites of grace prevail; Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail.
To the
everlasting Father, And the Son Who reigns on high With the Holy Spirit
proceeding Forth from each eternally, Be salvation, honor blessing,
Might and endless majesty. Amen.
V. Thou hast given them bread from heaven.
R. Having within it all sweetness.
Let us pray: O
God, who in this wonderful Sacrament left us a memorial of Thy Passion:
grant, we implore Thee, that we may so venerate the sacred mysteries of
Thy Body and Blood, as always to be conscious of the fruit of Thy
Redemption. Thou who livest and reignest forever and ever.
R. Amen.
