EUCHARISTIC HOLY HOUR GUIDE
EXPOSITION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT
Please kneel
O salutaris Hostia,
Quae caeli pandis ostium:
Bella premunt hostilia,
Da robur, fer auxilium.
Uni trinoque Domino
Sit sempiterna gloria,
Qui vitam sine termino
Nobis donet in patria.
Amen
[ O saving Victim, open wide,
The gate of heaven to us below
Our foes press on from ev'ry side
Your aid supply, Your strength bestow.
To Your great name be endless praise
Immortal Godhead, One in Three
O grant us endless length of days
In our true native land with Thee.
Amen ]

BENEDICTION
Please kneel
Tantum ergo Sacraméntum Venerémur cérnui:
Et antíquum documéntum
Novo cedat rítui;
Praestet fides suppleméntum
Sénsuum deféctui.
Genitóri, Genitóque
Laus et jubilátio,
Salus, honor, virtus quoque
Sit et benedictio:
Procendénti ab utróque
Compar sit laudátio. Amen.
Might and endless majesty,
Amen.
[ Down in adoration falling,
Lo! the sacred Host we hail,
Lo! oe'r 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. ]
Presider: You have given them Bread from heaven
All: Having within it all sweetness.
Presider: Let us pray. Lord Jesus Christ, You gave us the Eucharist as the memorial of your suffering and death. May our worship of this sacrament of your body and blood help us to experience the salvation you won for us and the peace of the kingdom where you live with the Father and the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.
All: Amen
