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
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.
