Only be the heart in earnest, Faith its lesson quickly learns. 5 Down in adoration falling, This great sacrament we hail; Over ancient forms of worship Newer rites of grace prevail; Faith tells us that Christ is present, When our human senses fail. 6 To the everlasting Father, And the Son who made us free, And the Spirit, God proceeding From them each eternally, Be salvation, honor, blessing, Might and endless majesty. --- Father, into your hands I commend my spirit. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ, King of endless glory! Used With Tune: ST THOMAS (TANTUM ERGO)
