Thou font of life, thou light of men,

A sweeter sound than thy sweet name,

And long to feast upon thee still.
From thee we drink, thy heart pierced through,
And thirst our souls from thee to fill.

Abide with us this hour, O Lord,
Fulfil us with thy grace, we pray.
Feed with thy body here adored
Our souls that with thee watch and pray.
Amen.
