Tune: Coelites Plaudant = From heaven praise
(\'Christ the fair glory of the holy angels\')

You Lord do come to us, your blessed sacrament
Come to bless, strengthen us, that be your intent
Angelic help you send unto penitent
In love you Son you sent
Here be fine feast, fine fare, in it all may share
Heavenly glories, with which none can compare
Your life given, so that sinners may live
And praises you e\'er give
High do our spirits rise, in this Communion
By your grace man with God does have union
Reaching our deepest needs, we now unashemed
Kneel before you unblamed
For by your blood shed, we may be forgiven
So here on earth a foretaste of your heaven
Symbols of bread and wine, your body, your blood
A sparking cleansing flood
No other could the way to God make open
But Jesus, Son of the Father, He made then
A way by Himself that gives us sure access
To our God, we confess
Forgive where we, dull, dreary, or apathy
Causes our love to cool, with dim light we see
Your offering, sacrifice, us fresh inspire
With your love\'s holy fire
