Adoro Te Devote (Latim)

I devoutly adore you, hidden Deity
Who beneath these figures truly lies hidden
To you my heart submits itself completely
Because in contemplating you everything falls short
Sight, touch, taste are all deceived in you
But hearing alone is safely believed
I believe whatever the Son of God has said
Nothing is more true than this word of Truth
On the cross only the Deity was hidden
But here the humanity is also hidden

Yet believing and confessing both
I seek what the repentant thief sought
I do not see the wounds as Thomas did
But I confess that you are my God
Make me always believe more in you
Have hope in you, love you
O memorial of the Lord's death!
Living bread, giving life to man!

Grant that my soul may live on you
And always taste you sweetly
O loving Pelican, Lord Jesus
Cleanse me, a sinner, in your blood
One drop of which can free
The entire world of all its sins
Jesus, whom I now see veiled
I pray that what I so desire may come to pass
That by seeing you revealed face to face
I may be blessed with the vision of your glory
Amen
