O Godhead hid, devoutly I adore Thee, Who truly art within the forms before me; To Thee my heart I bow with bended knee, As failing quite in contemplating Thee.
Jesu, eternal Shepherd! hear our cry; Increase the faith of all whose souls on Thee rely.
Sight, touch, and taste in Thee are each deceived; The ear alone most safely is believed: I believe all the Son of God has spoken, Than truth's own word there is no truer token.
Ave Jesu, Pastor Fidélium;Adáuge fidem ómnium in te credéntium.
God only on the cross lay hid from view;But here lies hid at once the manhood too;And I, in both professing my belief,Make the same prayer as the repentant thief.
Ave Jesu, Pastor Fidélium;Adáuge fidem ómnium in te credéntium.
Thy wounds, as Thomas saw, I do not see;Yet Thee confess my Lord and God to be;Make me believe Thee evermore and more;In Thee my hope, in Thee my love to store.
Ave Jesu, Pastor Fidélium;Adáuge fidem ómnium in te credéntium.
O Thou memorial of our Lord's own dying!O living bread, to mortals life supplying!Make Thou my soul henceforth on Thee to live,Ever a taste of heavenly sweetness give.
Ave Jesu, Pastor Fidélium;Adáuge fidem ómnium in te credéntium.
O loving Pelican! O Jesus Lord!Unclean I am, but cleanse me in Thy Blood!Of which a single drop, for sinners split,Can purge the entire world from all its guilt.
Ave Jesu, Pastor Fidélium;Adáuge fidem ómnium in te credéntium.
Jesus, whom, for the present, veil'd I see,What I so thirst for, oh! vouchsafe to me;That I may see Thy contenance unfolding,And may be blest Thy glory in beholding.
Ave Jesu, Pastor Fidélium;Adáuge fidem ómnium in te credéntium.
In Christian usage, "saint" refers to any believer who is "in Christ", and in whom Christ dwells, whether in heaven or in earth. (2Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 3:14-19; 2Corinthians 13:5) In Orthodox and Catholic teachings, all Christians in heaven are considered to be saints, but some are considered to be worthy of higher honor, emulation, or veneration.
