Wondrous love that cannot falter

(Hymn of the Association of Perpetual Adoration)
Tr. Rt. Rev. Msgr. H. T. Henry
Ch. Gounod
Arr. by N. A. M.

Andante con espressione

1.
Wondrous love that cannot falter!
Jesus in the Host doth dwell
Day and night upon the Alter
Near to those He loves so well.

Refrain
Low in endless worship bent,
Praise the Blessed Sacrament.

2.
Angel hosts are hushed in wonder
And adore with folded wings:
For the lowly Species under,
Hidden lies the King of Kings.

3.
Tho' the Heav'nly choir rejoices
Praise and sing His loving ear
Seeks the tribute of our voices:
'Tis for us He waiteth here!

4.
All He hath in highest Heaven
Veiled in the Host we see:
And to us the care is given
Of His wondrous poverty.

5.
Bread of Angels! Who can measure
All it means? this daily food
And the daily granted treasure
Of His sacrificial Blood?

6.
Bending low in adoration
Ever constant let us be,
Making Jesus Reparation
For the worlds in constancy.
