Jesus, we thus obey
|
Jesus, we thus obey Thy last and kindest word; Here in thine own appointed way We come to meet thee, Lord. Our hearts we open wide To make the Saviour room; And lo, the Lamb, the Crucified, The sinner's friend, is come. Thy presence makes the feast; Now let our spirits feel The glory not to be expressed, The joy unspeakable. With high and heavenly bliss Thou dost our spirits cheer; The house of banqueting is this And thou hast brought us here. Now let our souls be fed With manna from above, And over us thy banner spread Of everlasting love. |
Paremus, Jesu, sic benigno iussui et ultimo, quod hic occurrimus tibi. Aperta pectora Salvator occupet; en Crucifixus Hostia et qui reos amet! Qui sine te cibus? Sit iam perspicuum id ineffabile decus, sublime gaudium. Summa laetitia nos hilares facis; hic sunt triclinia tua quo nos adduxeris. Iam manna nutriat supernum animas; vexilli more nos tegat aeterna caritas. |
