No V. ON THE HOLY EUCHARIST.

(0 Panis dulcissime)

COME, Thou sweetest Bread of Heaven,
To Thy faithful people given

As the soul's best nourishment;
Gentlest Lamb the world e'er saw,

Paschal Victim of the Law,

Sacrifice from Heaven sent!

Undecaying, Flesh divine,
Who beneath the outward sign
Veiled art celestially,

By the sevenfold sustenance
Of Thy Spirit's providence
Satisfy us bounteously.

Eaten, yet remaining whole,
Thou the true receiver's soul
Quickenest everlastingly,
And the taint of sinful earth
By Thy gift of wondrous worth
Purifiest graciously.

Us to Thine own Self unite,
Fortify us by Thy might

Worthily to taste of Thee;
So that by Thine aid we may
Carnal longings chase away,
Dwelling with Thee holily.

So refreshed by heavenly Food,
Drinking of the precious Blood
Which Thou shed'st so lovingly,
