Down in adoration falling
Eucharistic Group -
Down in adoration falling,
Lo! the sacred Host we hail;
Lo! o'er 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, honour, blessing,
Might, and endless majesty.
V. You gave them Bread from heaven.
R. Having all sweetness within it.
Let us pray.
O God, who under this wonderful Sacrament has left us the memorial of Your Passion;
grant us, we beseech You, so to venerate the sacred mysteries of Your Body and Your Blood,
that we may constantly experience within us the fruit of Your redemption.
Who lives and reigns, world without end. Amen
