Humbly We Adore Thee - Lyrics

Humbly we adore thee Christ Redeemer King
Thou art Lord of heaven thou to whom we sing
God the Mighty thou has come bearing gifts of grace
Son of Adam still thou art Savior to our race


Jesus Lord we thank thee for this wondrous bread
In our land thou dwellest by thee we are fed
We who share this mystery in thee are made one
Ev’ry act we offer thee in thy name is done


Thou who died to save us livest as our light
Though our eyes are blinded yet our faith gives sight
Christ do thou be merciful Lamb for sinners slain
We in grief confess our guilt cleanse our souls of stain


Christ our God and brother hear our humble plea
By this holy banquet keep us joined to thee
Make us one in loving thee one in mind and heart
Till in heaven we are thine never more to part


Hail thou Word Incarnate born from Mary’s womb
Hail thou Strength immortal risen from the tomb
Share with us thy victory Savior ever blest
Live more fully in our hearts be our constant quest


Faith alone reveals here bread of Paradise
Faith alone may witness Jesus’ sacrifice
Therefore Lord as once of old Thomas gained his sight
Now increase our feeble faith shed thy healing light


Christ at his last supper breaking bread decreed
This my Body take and eat heav’nly food indeed
Then he blessed the cup of wine Take ye this he said
Drink the chalice of my Blood soon for sinners shed


Now with glad thanksgiving praise Christ glorified
He in us is present we in him abide
Members of his body we in him are one
Hail this sacred union heav’n on earth begun
