Sweet Sacrament Divine - Lyrics

Sweet Sacrament divine
hid in thine earthly home
lo round thy lowly shrine
with suppliant hearts we come


Jesus to thee our voice we raise
in songs of love and heartfelt praise
sweet Sacrament divine


Sweet Sacrament of peace
dear home for every heart
where restless yearnings cease
and sorrows all depart


there in thine ear all trustfully
we tell our tale of misery
sweet Sacrament of peace


Sweet Sacrament of rest
ark from the ocean's roar
within thy shelter blest
soon may we reach the shore


save us for still the tempest raves
save lest we sink beneath the waves
sweet Sacrament of rest


Sweet Sacrament divine
earth's light and jubilee
in thy far depths doth shine
thy Godhead's majesty


sweet light so shine on us we pray
that earthly joys may fade away
sweet Sacrament divine
