1. Hum-bly we a-dore thee Christ, re-deem-er King; Thou art Lord of heaven, Thou to whom we sing God, the Mighty, Thou Has come; bear-ing gifts of grace son of Ad-am still thou art; Sav-iour to our race.

2. Jesus Lord, we thank thee, for this won-drous Bread; in our land thou dwellest, by thee we are fed. We who share this mys-te-ry in thee are made one; every act we of-fer thee in thy Name is done.

3. Thou who died to save us liv-est as our Light; Though our eyes are blind-ed, yet our faith gives sight Christ do thou be mer-ci-ful, Lamb for sin-er slain we in grief con-fess our guilt; Cleanse our souls of stain.

4. Christ, our God and Brother, Hear our hum-ble plea, by this ho-ly ban-quet, keep us joined to thee, make us one in lov-ing thee, one in mind and heart, Till in heav-en we are thine, Never-more to part.

5. Hail, thou word in-car-nate, Born from Mar-y’s womb: Hail, thou strength im-mor-tal Risen, from the tomb, share with us thy vic-to-ry Sav-iour ever blest: Live more fully in our Hearts. Be our constant Guest.

6. Faith a-lone re-veals here bread of par-a-dise. Faith a-lone may wit-ness Jesus’ sa-crifice. Ther-fore, Lord, as once of old Thomas, ained his sight Now in-creaes our fee-ble faith shed thy healing light.

7. Christ at his last sup-per, break ing bread, de-creed; “This my bod-y, take and eat”, Heavenly food in-deed! Then he blessed the cup of wine ‘Take ye this”, he said: “Drink the Chal-ice of my blood, soon for sin-ners shed”.

8. Now with glad thanks-giv-ing, praise Christ glorified, He in us to present; we in him a-bide Mem-ber of his Body, we in him are one, Hail this sacred un-ion here Heav’n on earth be-gun!
