Oh Sweet Sacrament
William Faber, an English convert to Catholicism wrote this and other beautiful hymns which today can be found in both Catholic and Protestant hymnals.
The Eucharist is the most sublime of sacraments. John 20:28 Thomas answered, and said to him: My Lord, and my God
Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all,
How can I love Thee as I ought?
And how revere this wond’rous gift,
So far surpassing hope or thought.
Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore.
O make us love Thee more and more!
O make us love Thee more and more!
Had I but Mary’s sinless heart,
To love Thee with, my dearest King;
O with what bursts of fervent praise,
Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing!
Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore.
O make us love Thee more and more!
O make us love Thee more and more!
