Traditional Prayers

Tantum Ergo

Down in adoration falling,
Lo! the sacred host we hail;
Lo! o'er ancient forms departing,
Newer rites of graces prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail.

To the everlasting Father,
And the Son, who reigns on high,
With the Holy Ghost proceeding
Forth from each eternally,
Be salvation, honor, blessing,
Might and endless majesty.

Amen.

You gave them bread from heaven.
     And therein was sweetness of every kind.

Let Us Pray.

O God, Who, under this wonderful Sacrament,
hast left unto us the memorials of Thy Passion;
grant us, we beseech Thee,
so to venerate the sacred mysteries of
Thy Body and Thy Blood,
that we may constantly experience within us
the fruit of Thy redemption.

Who lives and reigns with the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.
