Come, Let Us Adore
Solemnity of the Body and BLood of Our Lord Jesus Christ
Welcome, precious Fruit from Eden’s perfect Garden;
Those who taste the Tree of Life, when granted pardon,
Yea! Who eat this Bread will fear of death no longer —
God’s love is stronger.
Welcome, Happiness, when God alone my heart fills;
Welcome, blessed Relief to all who bear this world’s ills;
I am seeking You with sweetest tears and sighing;
For You I’m crying.
- From the 17th-century Polish hymn, “Welcome, Bread of Life”
