Author of life divine
Author of life divine, Who hast a table spread, Furnished with mystic Wine And everlasting Bread, Preserve the life thyself hast given, And feed and train us up for heaven. Our needy souls sustain With fresh supplies of love, Till all thy life we gain, And all thy fulness prove, And, strengthened by thy perfect grace, Behold without a veil thy face. |
Vivificans Deus, durabilem cibum praebens hospitibus vinumque mysticum, vitam dedisti: sustine; futuros caelites ale. Egentes repleas amoris fontibus; vivosque facias sisque omnis agnitus; sis gratiosus, atque des ut videare qualis es. |
