Our Eucharistic Lord
O Sacrament of Love Divine, the wheat, the bread, then Body Thine, consecrated at the Mass for mc and all humanity. The vine, the wine, then Blood of thine, consecrated at the Mass fir me and all humanity.
What burning love made Thee descend from Father’s bosom to earth’s end. That sacrifice upon the cross redeemed us from forever loss.
O Eucharistic Heart of God, O Bread of Life Divine, we come to thank you for your love, and join the Seraphim. You, our God who e’er forgives, You love the saint and sinner. We come in humble adoration now our hearts are yours forever.
And now we in return hail Thee, Our Eucharistic Lord, hidden in that Sacred Host forever more adored. To love Thee Lord with burning love that is my great desire, to be consumed with love of Thee, and then forever more to be, with Thee for all Eternity.
