Lyics

Here I sink before thee lowly,
Filled with gladness deep and holy,
As with trembling awe and wonder,
On thy mighty work I ponder.


On this banquet's mystery,
On the depths we can not see;
Far beyond all mortal sight
Lie the secrets of thy might.


Jesus, Bread of Life from heaven,
Never be thou vainly given,
Nor I to my hurt invited;
Be thy love with love requited.


Let me learn its depths indeed,
While on thee my soul doth feed;
Let me here, so richly blest,
Be here-after, too, thy guest.
