MarysLittleFlower Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 As I process to Holy Communion, I sometimes recite to myself the following hymn as a prayer focusing on the words. It could be recited before or even after Holy Communion It was sung at my First Communion by our school choir: Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all, How can I love Thee as I ought? And how revere this wond'rous gift, So far surpassing hope or thought. Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore. O make us love Thee more and more! O make us love Thee more and more! Had I but Mary's sinless heart, To love Thee with, my dearest King; O with what bursts of fervent praise, Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing! Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore. O make us love Thee more and more! O make us love Thee more and more! O, see, within a creature's hand, The vast Creator deigns to be, Reposing infant-like, as though On Joseph's arm, on Mary's knee. Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore. O make us love Thee more and more! O make us love Thee more and more! Thy body, soul, and Godhead, all-- O mystery of love divine! I cannot compass all I have, For all Thou hast and art are mine. Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore. O make us love Thee more and more! O make us love Thee more and more! Sound, sound His praises higher still, And come ye Angels to our aid; 'Tis God, 'tis God, the very God, Whose power both man and angels made. Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore. O make us love Thee more and more! O make us love Thee more and more! how beautiful! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
