Prayer sung at Benediction and Adoration

Therefore we, before him bending,

This great Sacrament revere;

Types and shadows have their ending,

For the newer rite is here;

Faith our outward sense befriending,

Makes our inward vision clear.

Glory let us give and blessing

To the Father and the Son,

Honor, thanks, and praise addressing,

While eternal ages run;

Ever to his love confessing

Who from both with both is one.

Amen.
