Therefore we, before him bending

(TANTUM ERGO SACRAMENTUM. 8.7.8.7.8.7)
1.

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.

2.

Glory let us give and blessing
to the Father and the Son,
honor, thanks, and praise addressing,
while eternal ages run;
ever too his love confessing,
who from both with both is One.

This hymn is in the public domain.
