Prayers for the Exposition and Benediction of the Eucharist

            O salutaris hostia,
            Quae caeli pandis ostium:
            Bella premunt hostilia’
            Da robur fer auxilium.

            Uni trinoque Domino
            Sit sempiterna Gloria:
            Qui vitam sine termino
            Nobis donet in patria.

O Saving Victim, op’ning wide
The gate of heav’n to us below!
Our foes press on from ev’ry side:
Your aid supply, your strength bestow.

To your great name be endless praise,
Immortal Godhead, One in Three;
O grant us endless length of days
When our true native land we see.

      

           Tantum ergo Sacramentum
            Veneremur cernui:
            Et antiquum documentum
            Novo cedat ritui:
            Praestet fides supplementum
            Sensuum defectui

            Genitori Genitoque
            Laus et jubilatio,
            Salus, honor, virtus quoque
            Sit et benedictio:
            Procedenti ab utroque
            Compar sit laudatio.

Come adore this wondrous presence,
Bow to Christ the source of grace.
Here is kept the ancient promise
Of God’s earthly dwelling place.
Sight is blind before God’s glory,
Faith alone may see his face.

Glory be to God the Father,
Praise to his coequal Son,
Adoration to the Spririt,
Bond of love, in Godhead one.
Blest be God by all creation
Joyously while ages run.

           

Blessed be God.
Blessed be his Holy Name.
Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true Man.
Blessed be the Name of Jesus.
Blessed be his most Sacred Heart.
Blessed be his most Precious Blood.
Blessed be Jesus in the most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.
Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete.
Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary most holy.
Blessed be her holy and Immaculate Conception.
Blessed be her glorious Assumption.
Blessed be the name of Mary, Virgin and Mother.
Blessed be Saint Joseph, her most chaste spouse.
Blessed be God in his angels and in his saints.

Holy God, we praise thy name!
Lord of all, we bow before thee;
All on earth thy scepter claim,
All in heav’n above adore thee;
Infinite thy vast domain,
Everlasting is thy reign.

Hark! The loud celestial hymn
Angel choirs above are raising;
Cherubim and Seraphim
In unceasing chorus praising,
Fill the heav’ns with sweet accord:
Holy, holy, holy Lord!
