By this prevailing presence we appeal;
O fold them closer to Thy mercy's breast!

O do Thine utmost for their souls' true weal!
From tainting mischief keep them white and clear,
And crown Thy gifts with strength to persevere.

mf 4 And so we come; O draw us to Thy feet,
Most patient Saviour, Who canst love us still!
And by this Food, so awful and so sweet,

Deliver us from every touch of ill:
cr In Thine own service make us glad and free,
And grant us never more to part with Thee.

mf 2 King of kings, yet born of Mary, as of old on earth He stood, Lord of lords, in human vesture-in the Body and the Blood— He will give to all the faithful His own Self for heavenly Food. 3 Rank on rank the host of heaven spreads its vanguard on the way, As the Light of Light descendeth from the realms of endless day, That the powers of hell may vanish as the darkness clears away.

4 At His feet the six-winged seraph; cherubim with sleepless eye, Veil their faces to the Presence, as with ceaseless voice they cry, cr Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, Lord most high.
