The Tantum Ergo
by Saint Thomas Aquinas
Down in adoration falling,
Lo! the sacred Host we hail;
Lo! o'er ancient forms departing,
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying
Where the feeble senses fail.
To the everlasting Father,
And the Son who reigns on high.
With the Holy Spirit proceeding
Forth from each eternally,
Be salvation, honor, blessing,
Might and endless majesty. Amen.
taken from John F. Kink's The Doctors of the Church: An Introduction to the Church's Great Teachers Vol. II, p.89
