Dearest Je­su, we are here,
At Thy call, Thy pre­sence own­ing;
Pleading now in ho­ly fear
That Thy sac­ri­fice aton­ing;
Word in­car­nate, much in won­der
On this mys­te­ry deep we pon­der.

Under forms of bread and wine
Simple hearts in faith adore Thee:
Born of Ma­ry, Son di­vine,
Low we bow the knee be­fore Thee
Opening heart alike and cof­fer,
Body, soul, to Thee we of­fer.

Jesu, strong to save—the same
Yesterday, to­day, for ever—
Make us fear and love Thy name,
Serving Thee with best en­dea­vor;
In this life, O ne’er for­sake us,
But to bliss here­af­ter take us.
