HIDDEN GOD
(Adoro te devote)
Hidden God, devoutly I adore you,
Truly present underneath these veils:
All my heart subdues itself before you,
Since it all before you faints and fails.
Not to sight, or taste, or touch be
credit,
Hearing only do we trust secure;
I believe, for God the Son has said it -- Word
of Truth that ever shall endure.
Contemplating, Lord, Your hidden
presence,
Grant me what I thirst for and implore,
In the revelation of Your essence
To behold Your glory evermore.
