CORPUS CHRISTI DWSM Propers & Readings P.1103 THE INTROIT HYMN Thee we adore, O hidden Saviour, thee, Who in thy Sacrament art pleased to be; Both flesh and spirit in thy presence fail, Yet here thy presence we devoutly hail. O blest memorial of our dying Lord, Who living bread to men doth here afford! O may our souls for ever feed on thee, And thou, O Christ, for ever precious be. Fountain of goodness, Jesu, Lord and God, Cleanse us, unclean, with thy most cleansing blood; Increase our faith and love, that we may know The hope and peace which from thy presence flow. O Christ, whom now beneath a veil we see, May what we thirst for soon our portion be, To gaze on thee unveiled, and see thy face, The vision of thy glory and thy grace. RESPONSORIAL PSALM You are priest for ever, a priest like Melchizedek of old. OFFERTORY HYMN We hail thy presence glorious, O Christ our great high priest, o’er sin and death victorious, at thy thanksgiving feast: as thou art interceding for us in heaven above, thy Church on earth is pleading thy perfect work of love. Through thee in every nation thine own their hearts upraise, offering one pure oblation, one sacrifice of praise:
with thee in blest communion the living and the dead are joined in closest union, one body with one head. O living Bread from heaven, Jesu, our Saviour good, who thine own self hast given to be our souls’ true food; for us thy body broken hung on the cross of shame: this bread, its hallowed token, we break in thy dear name.
