Lyrics: 

Jesus, my Lord, my God, my all! How can I love Thee as I ought? And how revere this wondrous gift, So far surpassing hope or thought?

Refrain:
Sweet Sacrament, we Thee adore! Oh, make us love Thee more and more. Oh, make us love Thee more and more.

2. Had I but Mary's sinless heart With which to love Thee, dearest King, Oh, with what ever fervent praise, Thy goodness, Jesus, would I sing!
Refrain

3. Thy Body, Soul and Godhead, all! O mystery of love divine! I cannot compass all I have, For all Thou hast and art is mine!
Refrain

4. Sound, then, His praises higher still, And come, ye angels, to our aid; For this is God, the very God Who hath both men and angels made!
Refrain
