lyrics

I O the depth of love Divine,
The' unfathomable grace I
Who shall say how bread and wine
God into man conveys I

How the bread His flesh imparts,
How the wine transmits His blood,
Fills His faithful people's hearts
With all the life of God !

2 Let the wisest mortal show
How we the grace receive,
Feeble elements bestow
A power not theirs to give.

Who explains the wondrous way,
How through these the virtue came?
These the virtue did convey,
Yet still remain the same.

3 How can heavenly spirits rise,
By earthly matter fed,
Drink herewith Divine supplies,
And eat immortal bread?

Ask the Father's Wisdom how "
Him that did the means ordain!
Angels round our altars bow
To search it out in vain.

4 Sure and real is the grace,
The manner be unknown ;
Only meet us in Thy ways,
And perfect us in one.

Let us taste the heavenly powers ;
Lord, we ask for nothing more:
Thine to bless, 'tis only ours
To wonder and adore.
