Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- We hail Thee now, O Jesu,
- Upon Thine altar-throne,
- Though sight and touch have failed us,
- And faith perceives alone!
- Thy love has veiled Thy Godhead
- And hid Thy power divine,
- In mercy to our weakness,
- Beneath an earthly sign.
- 2.
- We hail Thee now, O Jesu;
- In silence hast Thou come;
- For all the hosts of Heaven
- With wonderment are dumb;
- So great the condescension,
- So marvelous the love,
- Which for our sakes, O Savior,
- Have drawn Thee from above.
- 3.
- We hail Thee now, O Jesu;
- For law and type have ceased,
- And Thou in each communion
- Art Sacrifice and Priest;
- We make this great memorial
- In union, Lord, with Thee,
- And plead Thy death and passion
- To cleanse and set us free.
- 4.
- We hail Thee now, O Jesu;
- For death is drawing near,
- And in Thy presence only
- Its terrors disappear.
- Dwell with us, sweetest Savior,
- And guide us through the night,
- Till shadows end in glory,
- And faith be lost in sight.
Lyrics: Frederick G. Scott, The Soul’s Quest and Other Poems (London: 1885), No. 46.
