Love the above two hymns and this makes the trifecta Jesus my Lord, my God, my all Jesus my Lord, my God, my all How can I love thee as I ought? And how revere this wondrous gift So far surpassing hope or thought? Chorus: Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore Oh make us love Thee more and more Oh make us love Thee more and more. Had I but Mary's sinless heart, To love Thee with, my dearest King Oh, with what bursts of fervent praise Thy goodness Jesus, would I sing! Ah, see within a creature's hand The vast Creator deigns to be. Reposing, infant-like, as though, On Joseph's arms, on Mary's knee. Thy body, soul, and Godhead, all O mystery of love divine I cannot compass all I have For all thou hast and art are mine Sound, sound His praises higher still And come, ye angels, to our aid 'Tis God, 'tis God, the very God Whose power both man and angels made.
YES! I love these wonderful hymns. We seldom hear them any more. Beautiful Eucharistic truth in the lyrics and soothing to the soul. Worshipful.
My favorite Eucharistic hymn is Anima Christi as composed by Fr. Marco Frisina. I love this version so much ANIMA CHRISTI, SANCTIFICA ME CORPUS CHRISTI, SALVA ME SANGUIS CHRISTI, INEBRIA ME AQUA LATERIS CHRISTI, LAVA ME (Soul Of Christ, Sanctify me. Body Of Christ, Save me. Blood Of Christ, Inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, Wash me.) Passio Christi, conforta me O bone Iesu, exaudi me Intra vulnera tua absconde me (Passion of Christ, Strengthen me. O Good Jesus, Hear me. Within Thy wounds, Hide me.) ANIMA CHRISTI, SANCTIFICA ME CORPUS CHRISTI, SALVA ME SANGUIS CHRISTI, INEBRIA ME AQUA LATERIS CHRISTI, LAVA ME (Soul Of Christ, Sanctify me. Body Of Christ, Save me. Blood Of Christ, Inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, Wash me.) Ne permittas a te me separari Ab hoste maligno defende me In hora mortis meæ voca me (Permit me not to be separated from Thee. From the wicked foe, Defend me. At the Hour of my Death call me.) ANIMA CHRISTI, SANCTIFICA ME CORPUS CHRISTI, SALVA ME SANGUIS CHRISTI, INEBRIA ME AQUA LATERIS CHRISTI, LAVA ME (Soul Of Christ, Sanctify me. Body Of Christ, Save me. Blood Of Christ, Inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, Wash me.) Et iube me venire ad te Ut cum sanctis tuis laudem te Per infinita sæcula sæculorum. Amen (And bid me come to Thee. That with Thy Saints I may Praise Thee. Forever and ever. AMEN.) ANIMA CHRISTI, SANCTIFICA ME CORPUS CHRISTI, SALVA ME SANGUIS CHRISTI, INEBRIA ME AQUA LATERIS CHRISTI, LAVA ME (Soul Of Christ, Sanctify me. Body Of Christ, Save me. Blood Of Christ, Inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, Wash me.)
Yes! A powerful prayer especially when under spiritual attack ( so said Malachi Martin once in an interview) I often pray it. Another weapon in my spiritual arsenal: Passion of Christ strengthen me.
