6 Hail True Body
This Communion hymn never ceased to move me deeply. We sang it often at St Luke’s Wallsend.
(unaccompanied)
Hail True Body
Born of Mary
Born of Mary
By a wondrous Virgin birth
Thou who on the cross wast offered
To redeem the sons of earth
Thou whose side became a fountain
Pouring forth thy precious blood
Give us now and at our dying
Thine own self to be our food.
O sweetest Jesu
O gracious Jesu,
O Jesu blessed Mary’s son.
