Hidden God: Adoro Te Devote

Ronan Ferrer, Mark Anthony Carpio

Hidden God, devoutly I adore You,
Truly present underneath these veils:
All my heart subdues itself before You,
Since it all before You faints and fails.
Not to sight, or taste, or touch be credit,
Hearing only do we trust secure;
I believe, for God the Son has said it—
Word of Truth that ever shall endure.
Hidden God, devoutly I adore You,
Truly present underneath these veils:
All my heart subdues itself before You,
Since it all before You faints and fails.
On the Cross was veiled Your Godhead's splendor,
Here Your Manhood lieth hidden too;
Unto both alike my faith I render,
And, as sued the contrite thief, I sue.
Hidden God, devoutly I adore You,
Truly present underneath these veils:
All my heart subdues itself before You,
Since it all before You faints and fails.
Though I look not on Your wounds like Thomas,
You, my Lord, and You, my God, I call:
Make me more and more believe Your promise,
Hope in You, and love You over all.
Hidden God, devoutly I adore You,
Truly present underneath these veils:
All my heart subdues itself before You,
Since it all before You faints and fails.
O Memorial of My Savior dying,
Living Bread, that givest life to man;
May my soul, its life from You supplying,
Taste Your sweetness, as on earth it can.
Hidden God, devoutly I adore You,
Truly present underneath these veils:
All my heart subdues itself before You,
Since it all before Your faints and fails.
