Mass in the Cathedral of the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, City of Westminster, 18 September 2010″O Bread of Heaven, beneath this veilThou dost my very God conceal:My Jesus, dearest treasure, hail!I love Thee and, adoring, kneel;Each loving soul by Thee is fedWith Thine own Self in form of Bread.O food of life, Thou Who dost giveThe pledge of immortality;I live, no ‘tis not I that live;God gives me life, God lives in me:He feeds my soul, He guides my ways,And every grief with joy repays.O Bond of love that dost uniteThe servant to his living Lord ;Could I dare live and not requiteSuch love – then death were meet reward:I cannot live unless to proveSome love for such unmeasured love. Beloved Lord, in Heaven aboveThere, Jesus, Thou awaitest me,To gaze on Thee with endless love;Yes, thus I hope, thus shall it be:For how can He deny me Heaven,Who here on earth Himself hath given?”
