Humbly I adore Thee, hidden Godhead, veiled truly under these figures. All
my heart I give to Thee, for it all fails in contemplating Thee. 2. Sight, touch
and taste tell me nothing of Thy presence; yet safely I trust what I hear. I
believe whatever the Son of God has said; nothing can be more true than the
word of Truth itself. 3. On the cross Thy Godhead was hidden; here is hidden
Thy manhood too. Yet I believe and confess both, praying as prayed the good
thief. 4. I do not see Thy wounds like Thomas; yet I confess Thee my God.
Grant that I may ever more and more believe in Thee, hope in Thee, love Thee.
5. O memory of the death of the Lord, living Bread giving life to man, let me
ever live of Thee, ever sweetly taste Thee. 6. Pelican of mercy, Jesus Lord,
cleanse me, unclean, by Thy Blood, of which one drop is enough to wash the
world of all sin. 7. Jesus, Whom now I see veiled, I pray that this may come for
which I long so much: that at last, seeing Thee face to face, I may be blessed by
the sight of Thy glory.
