Arise! embrace a Sacrament
Greatest of all; with no supplement
Instituted on Holy Thursday by the True Master
That hearts may ever remain brighter
And divinely; for souls to be nourished
To be healthy; not to be perished.
Here dwells an engine of our faith
Here lies the breeze of our breath
The hope and strength of every life
A helper and reconciler in moment of strife
A true giver of grace to the receivers
Ever remains the joy of believers.
Yes! This is but the Most Holy Eucharist
In It, directly; hearts often welcome Christ
Who gave Himself up, on a powerful Cross
To save all from a devilish curse
Especially souls which daily receive the Sacrament
With a pure devotion; without an evil sentiment.
Oh! the Most Holy Eucharist
In Thee, Christian life is admired to the highest
For Thou stand firm as a Corner Stone in every life
And still feed souls with an eternal life
Through Thy wonderful Transubstantiation
Which confers grace on souls with a devotion.
Before Thee, Adoration we humbly bring
Without Thee, Church has no bell to ring
In Thee, we unseasonably prostrate to live
Outside Thee, thy people have no virtue to receive
If not Thee, our hope then nothing but darkness
For that, we ever acknowledge Thy Goodness.
Oh Eucharist; Proud we are to have Thee
Thy wonders, daily we grab and see
Thy splendor ever guides feet on a right way
Often conquers evils not to come to stay
And keeps true friendship between humans and Jesus
Whose blessings rain from the Eucharist for the sake of us.
Lord, nothing we can do without Thy precious Gift
That Church saw and called the Most August Sacrament
In which Christ Himself is fully contained
Offered and received, that graces may be gained
With no penny nor riches of any nation
Only to be grabbed with a pure heart and true disposition.
Oh The Most Holy Sacrament, Our hope
Please tie our faith with a heavenly rope
That hearts ever may live to feel Thy glory
For in Thy Mystery, we believe to be holy
As Thou eternally remain in Liturgy, the Center
And to the christian life, the Greatest Supporter.
Lord, we thank Thee for Thy incomparable gift to the world
Stronger and sharper faith, than a warrior's sword, we plead
We ask; be on our side, that legs may not miss true direction
Live in us, that we may stand to conquer every temptation
Hold our arms, that we may not slip into an evil pit
And bless our deeds, that Heaven; all at last, be deemed fit.
