A Eucharistic Anthology Lo, the Sacred Host we hail, ’Neath the Sacramental veil! A frail, white Host. O Christ, concealeth Thee. Yet love can pierce this form its God to see: O Jesus, hidden God, we cry to Thee. Thou Treasure—House of love and sanctity: Our souls, You daily nourish, and yet we Thirst but the more, Eternal God, for Thee. We taste of Thee. O Christ. Thou Living Bread. We drink of Thee. Great God. Thou Fountain Head: Warm from the wine-press fell Thy blood like rain, The Xavier Page Nine

Thou Lamb of Calvary, Love’s Victim slain; Our souls are strengthened with Thy Flesh and Blood, Thou art our Love, our Life, our only Good.
